[color=turquoise][h2][center]~ Kimberly Haynes ~[/center][/h2][/color] [@The Narrator] [@Xandrya] Frowning as she glanced around at the other people and creatures around the room, Kimberly took a seat next to a woman with dark blonde hair. She nodded at her comment. [color=turquoise]"Agreed. I take it you don't know any more than I do..."[/color] The serpent slithered over, his body flowing like water. [color=darkcyan]"I thought I told you. You're dead. Dearly departed. Six feet under. Don't you start thinking this is some kind of second chance. We've only got one purpose now, and you'll find that out soon enough."[/color] Kimberly turned her attention back to the creature. Now she'd recovered from the initial shock, it was surprising how quickly she'd adapted to the presence of a large, sharp-fanged sea monster. It felt as if he was somehow connected to her. Part of her. [color=turquoise]"Well, first of all,"[/color] she said, a slight waver to her voice despite her effort to keep her tone and expression neutral. [color=turquoise]"Who are you?"[/color] The monster gave her that crimson stare. [color=darkcyan]"Call me Cetus,"[/color] he hissed, [color=darkcyan]"and you could say we're alike. Born from death. Born to bring it to those who try to escape it."[/color] Kimberly blinked. [color=turquoise]"Wait... what?"[/color]
