[IC] Myriad Reality

*Another page is just ahead. An intimidating feeling rises in Araby at the sight of it. The words are frantically written and to far away to see. Just a bit more walking. The sounds of sipping continue, coming from no general direction.*

*she grabs the page and reads what it has to say.*
What are you playing at?

"BEHIND YOU NOW'

"BEHIND YOU NOW'

*she doesn't move. Just states at the page.*
No.... This can't be what I think it is.
*takes a deep breath. Then turns around swiftly*

[Morric]

*A red tie dangles in the air in front of Araby's eyes. The tie seems surreal as it flows on the wind, as if under water or in slow motion. A few seconds and Araby's sees the darkness behind the tie isn't the forest a massive silhouette. An intense feeling on unease and potentially panic begins to rise in her chest, sending a shrill chill up her spine. The tie and the dark form belonged to an entity. It's so tall. Instinctual and primal fear prevent Araby from looking at the entities face.*
...hello there...little girl...
*A deep voice fills Araby's mind, as deep as thunder.*

[LegendBegins]

I should probably do something.
*Shakes the necklace*
Yo! Rab-Rab!

[Araby264]

Hello.
*she pushes back the fear*
I'm Araby. What do you want from me?

[Morric]

*neclace feels intensely cold to the touch, so cold it burns, and refuses to move from Araby's neck.

The dream around Araby is deathly silent. She backs up but feels the tree behind her. A long slender arm rasises into her vision. In it's hand, a small porcelain teacup. As it is lifted out of her view, she can hear a sipping sound.*
...join me for tea?...

*I'm mumbling to myself in my sleep.*

*Calls in a singsong voice*

shinii: its that damned necklace. it did this to her.

[Araby264]

*I swallow the lump in my throat*
Y-yes. I would love some. Can I ask why you've brought me here?

[Morric]

...or perhaps...
*The teacup drops out of the entities hand and shatters on the ground in a loud clattering of broken glass. Oddly enough, it was empty. Somehow, the sipping sound still could be heard, echoing through the forest every so often.*
...or perhaps...
*The voice repeated, like a recording, resounding in Araby's mind as terror continued to pull at her.*

*my eyes close and terror wells up. But I won't run, can't run. I've run to often, run to long. Even if I die. I won't run from this.*
P-perhaps w-what?

[Morric]

...A deal?....A deal?...A deal?...
*The voice repeats like a record, slightly distorted. The entity lifted it's hand back into Araby's view, if she were to open her eyes. Clenched between a pale set of long, slender fingers, was another teacup. This time it was offered to her.*
...Drink it if you want...I'm smiling. Can you see? Perhaps a deal...if you drink it...

*my skin is cold and unyielding. My head snaps to the side. But I won't wake.*

What.... Deal.
