Chasing Ghosts

Amaris Abraxas

Panic was starting to settle into her soul, making room for fear to crawl over her skin. What if she was stuck in here forever? What if no one knew where to find her? Was she going to die in this stupid dark hole? Amaris pushed and pushed, using all the mighty strength of the tiny goddess within her, but to no avail. How could that be? She was an Abraxas! No mere tree could take her down! That's when she realized.... the butterfly had lured her to it's master... the wooden titan disguised as a tree! It was the only thing that made sense. But when she realized how truly in danger she was, Amaris grew petrified.

"Foul beast! Unhand me!" She would holler, clawing at the bark inside the tree in retaliation. If this was to be her fate, she would not go out without a fight. That's when she heard it... the faintest sound of a voice coming from beyond her prison walls. Was that... Fel? "Felicity? Fel? Is that you? Help! I've been eaten!" It was her last hope, and she so desperately wanted to believe her dearest sister Fel was close by to hear her cries.
