Slam!
"Ha... ha... HAAA!!!"
Slam!
Alicia's fist slammed into the marble wall of an empty room inside one of the wings of the temple, crying out in dolour. With an unimpressive bounce, her hand recoiled back, completely painlessly, a probable side effect of her power that made her immune to impacts. This painless feeling only made her attempt to punch with more force and with each jab the wall began to look worse and worse, but her hand remained flawless. Angrily, she gritted her teeth at the only feedback given by the impacts; a jolt up her arm that only lasted a second. The only lasting effect on her seemed to be the wrist wraps that she had made from some cloth she had found in her searches, which were steadily dampening as she began to sweat. Eventually, she discarded the wraps and moved onto kicks, with the same rage and fervour, her cries of fury ringing out in the room but were silenced by the thick stone walls.
Why?
Looking at the situation and past events objectively, one could guess that the reason for this deep rage was perhaps her arrival in this world, the truth being unveiled and the loss of her metal wings. However, it was none of these. In truth, the reason for her total annihilation of the wall was that she was angry at herself for her less than warm reception of the man who had introduced herself as Ryko. Only a few minutes ago, as she walked through the halls of the temple and its surrounding buildings, she had become conscious of the cold shoulder that she had given the man and compounded with the general bad mood of the former situation, she had quickly grown angry with herself.
And that is how we got here. However, midway into her destruction of the wall, it seemed the reason for her anger had changed dramatically.
"Stupid! Tall! Idiot! Calling me... a man!"
Indeed, it looked to be that now the reason for her continued fury was the mayhaps unintentional comment by the deity of dragons.
Crack
Under the force of the continued, powerful impacts, the block of marble cracked into two pieces. Alicia took this as a sign to stop and decided, after wiping the noticeable sweat off her with the wrist wraps and making sure she didn't carry too much of a smell, to quietly leave the room and she returned into the corridor, giving up the search for food after losing her hunger. Alternatively, she decided to return to the fountain and ask if anyone had plans on what to do. When she reached the doorway to the atrium once again, she made sure to smile as she entered, trying to at least give off a better second impression. Immediately, she noticed a few new faces and instinctively, she lost the smile and put on a guarded expression.
Looking around the atrium, she found Evangeline, still sitting at the fountain, the tall bastard, a thin, pale and lean man with grey eyes, Ryko and a beastly, intimidating looking stranger. Navigating her way through what seemed to be a rather heated discussion, she plopped herself down right next to Ryko, who was lazily relaxing on the pillow and after a moment of silence, spoke earnestly, "Hey, listen, sorry about earlier. I was in a bad mood, but.. I've worked it out of my system, you know? Anyway, I was wondering if you didn't happen to have any idea of what exactly we're supposed to do here. I'm kind of lost, really." She smiled weakly in an attempt to give off a more friendly look, but she found it somewhat difficult.
