Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

After she got closer, she discovers that she may have been lucky, although it is hard to tell in the circumstances. Rising straight out of the mud is an open Door with a cascade of glowing green energy inside. Where it might lead is uncertain, but a Door is a Door, so it could be better or worse than here. It all depends on fate.

Zeyra hesitates only a moment before stepping through. Better or worse, it will almost definitely be cleaner.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra takes a step forward and plunges through the Door and is temporarily bathed in green light before stepping out... into a pool of icy cold water. The chamber she is in appears to be a natural cave with passages connected everywhere, some with water flowing through them, some dry. Strangely, an ambient light fills all the passages and the room. Giving illumination without a shadow or apparent source.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra yelps as her naked lower half lands in the ice cold water, and she hops around in it until she makes it to a dryer area. Shivering once she gets there, she quickly pulls out a thick woolen blanket from her backpack and wraps herself up in it to ward of the cold. Once she warms up somewhat, she stands and starts wandering the dry portions of the passageways, still wrapped in the blanket.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

The passages seem rather barren for the most part. Sometimes they have connected passages with water flowing through them, but for the most part they tend to have a slightly dusty floor covered with odd tracks. Eventually there is a difference: upon entering a new chamber Zeyra notices crystaline formations covering the walls. The air itself also seems to be somewhat warm and humid. In a few places, among the crystaline structures, steaming water flows from cracks in the rocks. From this chamber there are only three exits: the one Zeyra came from, another dry passage, and a passage through which some of the hot water flows through.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra's face lights up when she sees the hot springs, but a quick test told her that it was too hot right here to actually bathe in. She decided to follow the water further down, hopefully to find a spot where it had cooled enough in a large enough quantity to actually clean herself and her gear with.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

The water starts to cool as it goes through the wet passage enough for Zeyra to walk through it, although it isn't nearly deep enough to bathe here. Still, it should deepen if she hits a new chamber. As such she follows the passage for a short ways before noticing it start to go downhill. Despite her bes attempts to carefully descend, the minerals in the water have made the passage very slick over time and Zeyra soon finds herself sliding down the passage. This would come to an abrupt end as she splashes down into a large pool in a new chamber. here it seems that the warm water from the other room as well as a few hot springs connected to the pool itself meet with a flow of the icy water from before. The result is a rather pleasant temperature in the water about halfway between the two as well as a light fog in the room. This fog seems to have contributed to the growth of many vines that are draped about the chamber as well as a thick carpet of moss along the few rock ledges in the room. From this chamber there are five exits. The path Zeyra slid down, the passage the cold water comes from, the passage the water drains into, and two dry passages.

(With this I'm off for the night)

Zeyra held her breath as she hit the main pool, assuming there would be one at the end. Once there, she took in her surroundings and, remembering her encounters with the plants from the last door, took out her shield and mace and gave one of the habging vines an experimental prod to see if it reacted.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

The plant swings back and forth from the shove, but other than that does nothing. Zeyra then notices a few brightly colored creatures moving about near the hot springs. From what she can see of them, they seem to be some sort of fish.

 

[Shrike7]

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Her fears assuaged, Zeyra takes her armour, weapon, and shield, placing them on a mossy shelf outside of the water, before going and looking at the brightly coloured fish.

 

[Pheonix Alugere]

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Because of the hot water from the few hot springs in the chamber itself, Zeyra is unable to get all the way over to the fish. As she gets closer it seems that they are actually some type of eel. A few of them seem interested in her and occasionally dart out from the hot water towards her before darting back, either because of the cooler temperatures or simply because they aren't sure how safe she is.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra shrugs and moves back to the more temparate area of the pool, stripping down and placing all of her stuff on the shelf with the equipment. That done, she pulls a bar of soap from her backpack and begins to wash all of the dirt and grime from her time in the marsh away.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

It seems the colorful eels are still curious about her, even more so now that she seems to be changing the color of the water around her. A pair of them, in fact, seem to be swimming out to her and looping between her legs before getting cold and running back to the hot springs.

 

[Shrike7]

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra jumps the first time one brushes against her legs, not expecting them to leave the area of extreme heat they seem to need. She keeps an eye on them after that, finishing her self wash and moving on to all of her clothes and supplies.

 

[Pheonix Alugere]

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

As Zeyra works on cleaning her gear, the pair of eels seem either more bold or trying to see if Zeyra is warmer than the cooler parts of the pool. At one point they come back and start swirling around her legs trying to find a warm spot. Suddenly, they start to rush up her body in a search for warmth and find two holes conveniently placed beneath the water level which seem to be warm inside. Both immediately start pressing themselves in, one into Zeyra's ass and the other into her vagina.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra was just starting to get used to the eel creatures playing around her ankles when they decided to try further up. She shrieked in surprise and slipped, her feet going out from under her and she pinwheels her arms as she splooshes entirely into the water. She manages to suck in a breath before she lands completely though, and wastes no time with getting her head above water, instead reaching for the creatures to try and pull them out, one with each hand.

 

[Pheonix Alugere]

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra reaches and grabs both eels trying to stop them in their pursuit for warmth in their neither regions. Unfortunately, she is only able to keep a firm grasp on the one trying for her ass because of how slippery the small creatures are. The other one slides itself out of her hand and all the way into her vagina before trying to worm its way into her womb. The other one wriggles greatly in her other hand simply trying to break free.

 

[Shrike7]

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra gasps at the sensation of the one wriggling inside of her and out of her grasp, unfortunately, this also let's go of all the air she has. She quickly puts her feet under her and shoves to the surface, coughing and gagging, and simply throws the one eel she managed to catch back towards the hot side of the pool as she reaches down with her other hand, sticking two fingers inside herself to try and pinch the thing and get it out of her.

 

[Pheonix Alugere]

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra reaches for the eel in her vagina, but with just two fingers she is unable to get a grip on the slippery creature and it soon manages to pushes its way into her womb, a slightly painful experience, but not quite as bad as when the plant from the day before had had its way with her. While feeling the creature wriggling inside her she notices a large blur of color towards the hot springs, apparently the sudden airborne arrival of their fellow had upset the other eels and several of them appear to be steeling themselves to dart through the cooler water towards her.

Re: Zeyra's Journey (Shrike7)

Zeyra's knees buckle a little at the added sensation, but still notices the oncoming group of eels. Rather than try to fight them off, she just starts towards the much colder area of the pool, going as fast as she can without risking any more slipping.
