[SP | F06] Blind-Sighted <<Calming the Soul>>

[Scarlet Firefly 0]

Today Firefly decided to leave Myst at home. She had researched the quest she was going on beforehand but it was confusing. It talked of demons and fears but couldn't clarify an exact type. That these entities are known to change depending on the person who did it. It wouldn't be weird to believe that the models were simply randomized.

The journey to the location was difficult. Without pathways or simple modes of transportation as a result of that, Firefly was left entirely with her own two feet. It took some time to travel. It was as quick as possible thanks to the map proved with the information. The quest notification would pop on her HUD to 'Rest underneath the Waterfall of the Sages.'

Firefly quietly walked into the pond around the waterfall, immediately she would notice that the water made no ripple, sound or feeling on her shoes. "What the-?" This was a sight to see for sure. Without the echo of her footsteps, Firefly closed her eyes and focused on the sound of the water hitting the pond.

When Samantha opened her eyes she was in a dingy hallway with moldy yellow wallpaper. The black spots upon the wall ushered in the churning of her stomach. One singular light-bulb lit up the hallway allowing her to barely make out the silhouettes of door-frames and knobs. "Hello? ...?" The girl called out timidly to no response. Her footsteps quickly became the loudest sound just above the creaking under her feet and the soft pattering of rain against the roof.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed leaving the girl stunned. Flashing lights sent her into a panic. She felt blessed to be able have a chance at sight but there were some things that were just awful to see as well. Samantha would quickly jolt back upwards when she heard the distinctive sound of a creaking door. What crawled out nearly stopped her heart. A featureless, deformed creature crawled out from the doorway clinging onto the wall. Its thin, sharp nails latched it to the wall. The joints connecting it's arm to it's shoulder, and many other places, did not sit correctly. They bent in ways that made Firefly hurt just seeing. It's face had nothing but smooth blackness, like a shadow manifested into life. Nothing could match the chill it sent down her spine as it slowly reached for the one light source in the hallway. Just before its hand curled the glass into pieces.

In the darkness, I fumble my hands on the dirty, moldy wall desperately searching for one of the several door knobs I had seen just seconds ago. The fear was making the image I attempted to recall like acid dissolving through steel. The scratching of nails against the wall accelerated my heart-rate to a very uncomfortable pace. My mouth was beginning to feel dry as I gasped for air in desperation to escape this creature's domain. The posterized image of the creature's hand caressing the light bulb in it's hands was the only thing my mind could show me. I needed to run.

I swear I could feel it's warm breath on my face but how could I be so certain now that disbelief had plagued my memories. That thing COULDN'T be real. No way-. Wait! The Witch Light! I reached for my belt where the make shift Glow Stone could provide some relief. It flashed on. A once-featureless face now bore a smile just inches in front of my face. My shrill scream made sounds I could never reproduce.

Butterfly Cross-Blade tore the shadow in half. It faded like a puff of smoke before her eyes, leaving a chill colder than ice down her spine.
