She didn’t know why, but for some reason this humming sounded vaguely familiar to her. The figures that surrounded her made her slow her step in wariness. Or was she? No, this wasn’t her doing. Her steps slowed down, then turned into the other direction. Or had she been walking in this direction for a while now and simply not realised it? What was happening to her? She couldn’t move her head, but this path seemed so different from the one she had been walking on. Was this truly the same path? Narcissa didn’t have great understanding of it, but the presence of magic would’ve been obvious to anyone. The flowers and vines moved for her, as if they were welcoming her as servants into her own royal abode. Her heart was racing as she felt she was getting closer to whatever the source of this all was. She had heard many tales of the magical creatures, but none that could manipulate the bodies of mortals this easily. Not to mention, how did one dare to come this close to the gathering? She wanted to scream, but it didn’t allow her. Her mouth allowed her to speak if she wanted to, but nothing more. [color=Lightslategray]"[b]Ylonia, you wear this mortal shell but your beauty cannot be contained within[/b]."[/color] A deep voice resounded as she neared the clearing. Ylonia? The name was vaguely familiar to Narcissa; The goddess that tricked her creator and husband, the elder god Katychus, into fighting a much more powerful god to his death. But why would that name be uttered now? Maybe this creature mistook her for a goddess in its madness? That would be something. As she entered the clearing, she stopped –was stopped- a mere few steps awau from a creature she had never seen before. It was significantly taller than she was. The wicked figure peered at her, she knew it was despite not seeing its eyes. [color=Lightslategray]"[b]I loved you in the heavens, but you did not know of me. I was banished here by your jealous husband when I first laid eyes on you. But I know you, Ylonia, I would know you anywhere.[/b]" [/color] The creature continued in what Narcissa must be delusional madness. Not even Narcissa was vain enough to match her beauty to a goddess, for that was a certain way to incur punishment. The strange figures that had been surrounding her now started to decorate her with various flowers and clothed her in a cloak of feathers. Narcissa was still paralyzed in a mix of panic and fear. But she had to think of something. How could she escape from this creature that was holding her body hostage? Before she could think of anything, the creature continued. [color=Lightslategray]"[b]You are to be my bride, Ylonia. I will bring you back to greatness.[/b]”[/color] [color=Lightslategray]"[b]When you drink this liquid we shall be married... and when you drink it all, you shall be more Magick then human once more... dearest Ylonia... return to me...[/b]" [/color] Narcissa hadn’t noticed the figure pouring the liquid before that. But whatever it was, she did not want to drink it. However, the creature’s words had given her an idea. She honestly wasn’t sure how convincingly she could bring her words, seeing how she was screaming inside, but she had to fight for her own life here in the way she knew best. [color=d264de]”My friend, cursed by Katychus.”[/color] Narcissa responded, trying to keep her composure. [color=d264de]”Please come to your senses! Do you not remember his fate? The fate of those who force marriage upon others? Surely you are not as foolish as him. You must be confused, wayward. You are more noble than he was, are you not? Or was Katychus right to cast you to the earth?”[/color] She had no idea if what she was saying would have any impact. But the best way to talk to a delusional person was to play along in his delusional world.
