Sorrin hugged her friend back tightly, actually somewhat relieved to have found her. She hadn’t realized how anxious she had become without her by her side. Following her back closer to the others, Sorrin settled in with a shy smile as Adorabella introduced herself to the group. She was prepared to introduce herself as well, however it seemed the one of the girls knew of her already. For a moment she felt bad, panicking at the thought that she had forgotten an acquaintance of some kind from back home, or from their journey to this place.

“[color=e9967a]We sat next to each other during that delightful presentation on how not to let the drakkan baby rip you to shreds on the way out.[/color]” Sorrin had to think back, not recalling much from the day prior. Sifting through what memories she did have, she was surprised to find that she did in fact remember this girl… if only slightly.

“[color=82ca9d]It’s Aubree, isn’t it? I’m sorry for not recognizing you right away, my memories from yesterday are still a little fuzzy.[/color]” She smiled apologetically before regaining her usual cheerful expression. 

“[color=82ca9d]And yes, my name is Sorrin. It’s a pleasure to meet all of you.[/color]” The blonde waved her hand in greeting, She spent a little more time with the small group, keeping close to Adorabella most of the time out of fear of losing her once again. After a little while, however, their attentions were grabbed by the entrance of a Drakkan guard ordering them up and out of the pool. One girl ventured to question the man as to why they were being pulled so early, but it seemed they were not to get a straight answer. All they were told is that they were suddenly being handed over to their new husbands, regardless of whether or not they had actually completed their ‘training’.

Not wishing to be punished for anything else during her stay, Sorrin was immediately up and on her feet, awaiting Adorabella before making their way back up into the main part of the building. Having tasted warmth once again, the cold hit poor little Sorrin harder than it did upon her arrival, the girl shivering the farther they got from the springs. They had been allowed a short amount of time to gather what belongings they had brought with them before they were rounded back up and loaded into carriages for transport. Luckily she was able to load into the same wagon as Adorabella, though it was tough to say whose effort this was the result of. Both girls had maintained a rather tight grip on the other in fear of being separated.

Neither girl let go of the other’s hand, huddled together as the ventured further and further away from home. At some point Sorrin had nodded off, the rocking of the wagon enough to lull her to sleep with her head leaned against her friend’s shoulder. By the time she awoke, the carriages were pulling into the capital city, the sound of thunder startling her awake. Slightly panicked, Sorrin tried to stand as if to flee before Adorabella pulled her back down and held her close. The girl’s presence was comforting, so much so that Sorrin had no idea what she would do without her.

Once they were unloaded from the carriages and shuffled into the building, the girls were ordered to change clothes and freshen up for their new husbands to be. Adorabella had already changed before leaving the place known as Shadow Worth, Sorrin on the other hand was still wearing the rough garbs they had been provided. Ushered into a room, Sorrin was certain to pull Adorabella in after her so that they could stay together without fear of the other disappearing. This earned them a scowl or two, but there wasn’t much the guard was willing to do when it came to contradicting them. The brides had made it to their destination, there was no escape for them now thus there was no harm in allowing these two to remain together for just a few moments longer.

Having not really owned anything acceptable for such an occasion, Sorrin stressed over picking something to wear. Luckily, garbs had been provided for those of the girls like her who did not own acceptable clothing, or for some of the others that might not have had any time to gather belongings before being taken from their homes. Either way, Sorrin was relieved that she didn’t have to go into this event looking so far out of place. The dress she donned was nothing in comparison to the one Adorabella had chosen, but it suited her physic rather well.

The fabric was tealish in color and pretty loose, allowing for unrestricted movement. Leather arm bands and sandals that snaked up her calf were paired with the garment giving her a relaxed, yet regal look. She enlisted the help of her friend to tie her hair up using some of the supplies that had been provided, watching with awe as her look was completely transformed. Sorrin almost didn’t recognize her own reflection, but she didn’t mind as it was a rather good look for her. She only hoped that whatever man they were to be handed off too wouldn’t mind it.

Linking hands with Adorabella, the pair made their way into line as they were paraded out towards a room full of Drakkan. It was certainly a daunting sight for the young blonde, but as long as she was with Adorabella she felt like she would be alright. Unfortunately, such a sentiment was not to last. A tall man, whom Sorrin assumed to be Drakkan despite his lack of horns, approached the line and snatched her friend away. She held fast to the girl’s hand, almost being ripped from the line as well before she was forced to let go, held back by another girl who was witnessing the event. Stifling a cry, Sorrin was ushered on while Adorabella was whisked away without time to say a proper goodbye. She didn’t know why she hadn’t expected this… The girl had believed that if they could just stick together, they would make it. All they had to do was stand side by side and they would get to remain together. Now she was left standing all alone in line, eyes watering as realization and terror began weighing in on her. 

Somewhere in the room words were said, pumping up an crowd that needed no help in psyching itself up. It wasn’t until the voice was finished speaking that a guard came for her, another girl she recognized in his other hand. She mustered a small smile to show that she did remember the girl before having her attention pulled to the man escorting them.

He had very little in the way of confidence, Sorrin able to feel the man’s hand shaking on her arm as he guided them forward. The man cautioned them to be on their best behavior, an ominous warning that did nothing for the poor girl’s nerves. Beginning to shake herself, Sorrin glanced wide eyed up at the terrifying man that was labeled as their new husband. She couldn’t see his face as it was hidden behind a mask, but it was more than just not having a face that put her off. The man had some kind of smoke or mist hanging around him, making him appear as some kind of phantom. And is none of that was scary enough, all around his body were chains that rustled every time he made a motion. Clearly it was enough to scare off the guard who essentially dumped the girls and ran, leaving her to face the terror on her own… Or well, nearly on her own.

Sorrin jumped a little as she felt something grab her hand looking over to find that the girl, whose name she remembered to be Arden, was attempting to comfort her. It worked a bit, enough that Sorrin was able to stop trembling for the most part. That wasn’t to last very long either, as the man began his inspection of the pair. Around them he circled, eyeing them up and down as if they were not but livestock. She shivered under his gaze, feeling as if she had somehow failed or disappointed the man. Difficult to tell when he wouldn’t show his face to either of them. 

“[color=crimson]Fine additions yes… Harand Kor has yet to house Gems… Empty cells and empty graves for the taking…[/color]” The sound of his voice sent another chill down Sorrin’s spine, eyes now fully wide in panic.

[color=82ca9d][i]G-graves?! What does he mean by that? Is he going to kill us? Is this some kind of Drakkan saying, or joke, or... [/i][/color]

Her thoughts were interrupted as her hand was torn from Arden’s, the pair of them shackled like some kind of prisoners. She couldn’t understand their purpose as it was clear she wasn’t capable of hurting anyone, and as her companion had pointed out, there was nowhere for them to run to either. Neither question was answered as the man decided to ignore them, demanding their names before he had even provided his own. Fear froze her, trapping her tongue within her throat as she fought not to cry.

Arden was first to answer, giving nothing but her first name. Sorrin wasn’t sure what impressed her more, the gut she was displaying with her attitude, or that she was able to stand in such a situation without breaking down like Sorrin felt like doing. Taking a shaky breath, Sorrin swallowed nervously before speaking up.

“[color=82ca9d]M-my name i-is… My name is Sorrin, sir.[/color]” She said, doing her best not to crack under the stress. Glancing to her side, she could tell that Arden was worried about something, realizing she hadn’t seen the other girl she had been hanging with anywhere. She prayed silently for the girl to find herself in a situation better than theirs, not that such a task was all that difficult. Looking back up, Sorrin gathered the strength to speak once again.

“[color=82ca9d]P-please sir… If you don’t mind my asking, may we learn the name of our… keeper?[/color]” She wasn’t entirely sure of how to address the man. Certainly they were brought and given out as brides. All they had been taught leading up to this moment was about bearing the children of these monsters as well as various other tasks, however this man gave them no indication that he thought of them as such. To her, it felt more as if they were captives, pets almost. Would it be appropriate to refer to him as husband in such a situation? Or would that just anger him more? She hoped her choice in the word ‘keeper’ would suffice, and that her question would not lead to any trouble.

[hider=Summary/Pic]
Sorrin introduces herself to the group, hangs out for a little while. Sticks close to Adorabella until she’s ripped away from the line, leaving little Sorrin all by her lonesome. Never fear though, Arden is there to take care of her… oops, well they are in chains… Oh well, so much for that. She gives her name and asks for one in return.
