Once emerging from the Underpass, her breath caught in her throat. Despite the hustle and bustle of the streets on this side of the pass, she was completely at a standstill. Anticipation crept into her bones, her every sense straining, trying to understand what she [i]felt[/i], what she [i]knew[/i].

There was [i]someone else[/i] here, glowing with ichor, stained with… the scent of blood? 

The first revelation was that there were others like herself. How many were there? What did it mean that there were more than just her here?

It also caused her to jump to the next thought.

That spark of divinity she could detect.

It was rightfully [i]hers[/i], wasn't it?

There was a desire to collect, to gain more, to feel a sense of wholeness within one’s self. She couldn't explain it, but the sensations overcoming her were unshakable and unmistakable.

Only one could make it to the top, wasn't it?

With her every sense on edge, another thought crossed her mind: As much as she could detect them, [i]they[/i] could likely detect her.

Movement was of the essence here. A moment’s hesitation and she would lose her advantage.

All thoughts of the new district, of delving into the Abyss, of making coin, were momentarily sidelined as Elys moved past the shifting masses, intent on hunting down the other ichor-blessed.

Soon enough, in her mentalscape she ‘saw’ two masses, one alight with ichor, the other plain. Other masses were departing, while yet others seemed to laze behind, waiting.

The ichor-blessed seemed to have friends, or some kind of association with others in this corrupted city. 

Well. No matter.

Elys’ staff smacked the ground abruptly as she approached from behind, black robes flapping in the wind.

[b]“I have business with the one who is of divinity here,”[/b] her head nodded cooly in the direction of the alighted mass, [b]“The rest of you, leave us.”[/b]
