Sorcha - Miren - Marie
[hr]

Well, Marie had not been expecting that.

The demon fell face first into the dirt of the road, her pristine white dress getting a nice covering of dirt on it, not to mention her face. Nothing but absolute rage was felt as Katherine stepped on her - and despite her apologies, she knew it was on purpose. Simple as that. Of course, no no, she wouldn't let her emotions control her. No, she was Pride! She was better than letting some foolish emotion like anger control her. This woman was lucky her mom had forbidden the usage of any of her special magic or she'd suffer the wrath of her Arsenal and put her right in her place. Bah!

She pushed herself to her feet, the cool gaze she was wearing betraying none of her annoyance. She kept walking. Why was she of all people forced to even attend the same gathering as these lesser beings? Well, whatever fine. She wouldn't help or in any way involve herself. She was far too important to so much as lift a single finger to handle them. Damn it...she should have to suffer this humiliation like this! Damn it...all of these people...once she earned her throne she'd destroy all of them for their transgressions.


[color=aba000]"Who knows!"[/color] Sorcha replied with a bright grin.[color=aba000] "You know, dragons love old places like this. Quiet. Out of the way...perfect for hiding out while stealing tasty little sheep from some scared peasants."[/color] She licked her lips, obviously speaking from experience. [color=aba000]"Heh, Luckily for you all I haven't met another dragon in a long time...I'm fairly certain we won't run into one. Ghouls and undead would be a bad thing to run into though."[/color]

As the group came to a halt in front of the old castle gates, there was an eerie silence over the place. No birds, no animals or wildlife of any kind, it seemed. Only a gentle, cool breeze typical for this time of year. The outside of the castle itself was just as overgrown as the walls. What once might have been an outdoor courtyard of sorts had been left to the ravages of time. The stone pathway was mostly nonexistent, and the large wooden doors to the castle were rotted away and hanging slightly ajar. There were a number of items and rusty pieces of metal strewn about, and a number of walls had collapsed and gave way to piles of rubble lingering over the area.

[color=aba000]"Welp, this is it I believe! Heh, all ruined castles always look the same."[/color] Sorcha continued. [color=aba000]"Alright...Ahem...Luna."[/color] Sorcha gave the knight a soft smile. [color=aba000]"I think I'm going to stay out here for a bit if you don't mind. The trip over here has made me a bit tired."[/color]

Marie didn't say anything herself, merely hung around the edge of the group - mostly avoiding them, it seemed. Ugh, she really didn't want to have to go in there.

Miren had elected to remain close to Eith and Katherine. She didn't really understand why Marie was being...bullied? Or why Marie herself seemed to be fairly antagonistic, but it seemed a little mean on everyone's account. She sort of wanted to say something herself, but decided against it. She...she shouldn't involve herself. Seemed serious, whatever it was. Instead she turned back to Eith.

[color=6ecff6]"H-hey, Eith."[/color] She gave her friend a smile. [color=6ecff6]"Uhm, any of this look familiar? Like you've been here before?"[/color]

It would mostly be up to Katherine to decide how they went about exploring this old ruin.
