[center][h1]Heilong Yu[/h1][/center] [@Hylozoist][@CorpusMundus][@Wraithblade6] The stench of decay wafted into the air as Peacock lead her into the decrepit hovel and out of the sunlight. Yu let out a sigh of relief, finally free from the risk of burning away like a forgotten dish on a stove top. Yu's eyes darted, first from the fire, to the intricate web of cracks and holes that permeated all throughout the walls of the makeshift shelter. [color=92278f][i]My apologies for the telepathy and the need to get out of the sunlight, it was my mistake, I had assumed that you were one of my kin and would understand,[/i][/color] Yu responded to Peacock, taking not as the girl took a seat by the fire, causing Yu to cringe at the thought of being so close to a beacon of death. [i][color=92278f]I see now that you are not; though, I do admire your willingness to continue the conversation; not many would keep up a conversation with my people.[/color][/i]. Yu transmitted these words while ignoring the girl's objection to entering into the next room. [color=92278f][i]Did I sleep yet another millenium...[/i][/color], Yu pondered, not realizing that she was still transmitting her thoughts to Peacock before snapping back out of throught. [color=92278f][i]"...eh, forget I said that"[/i][/color] she said, back tracking her thoguths before returning to her new traveling companion. [i][color=92278f]"If we're both lost, perhaps there's nothing to lose if we travel together. If the rest of this place is anything like here...It'd be good to stick together as a group, lest we run into bandits or slavers like in Ereb-. [/color][/i] Yu's train of throught was cut off by sounds of chanting, of heavy footsteps. [color=92278f][i]"Do you hear that?"[/i][/color], she remaked, before running to get a look at the outside streets through the closest opening in the wall that could pass as a window. 4 figures clad in black knelt in prayer, in a language she did not understand. Invittist Crusaders? No. Mujahideen? No. They were unlike any other she had seen before. But whatever god these knights prayed to, she assumed it was no friend of the vampire. Yu darted back into another room, grabbing a long, dirty and ragged cloth out of a corner and fastening it with a makeshift broach, a simple bone from some long ago consumed avian. Pulling the makeshift cloak's hood over her head. Yu turned to Peacock and spoke once more. [color=92278f][i]Perhaps a good first step will be to get out of this slum...[/i][/color]. And as soon as the words hit, so too did a strong feeling, a dark, intriguing magic, not too far from their current location. But far enough away from the fanatics walking around the impoverished slum. [i][color=92278f]I think I might have an idea of where to go.[/color][/i] With a smile, she then added. [color=92278f][i]I am Yu, by the way. Heilong Yu.[/i][/color]
