Spooky Cave (Lurid)

Lurid brings with her: Samael, the augur buzzard, her armor & her serrated mouth-guard.

Sunset was when the white brindled woman was finally able to take the full glare of the sun in her lightly colored eyes, and so she was able to explore a bit more. Having set Ilyn and Alastor to babysitting duty, Lurid went out to gain some individual peace-of-mind. Kichi had been doing better with the distractions of Alastor, but he still had Lurid worried. Samael stayed with her, however, soaring above in the skies to keep an eye on the evil empress-in-rising. At Alastor's request, Lurid was dressed in her diamond-studded armor and carried her mouth-sabers with her to protect herself. There was a slight nostalgia for when she hadn't had to consider how worried Alastor would be for her, but she was happy to have him now. Things were coming together, and as she walked she took in her surroundings. Something had been off about the area since she arrived here, and as she came closer to the water, it seemed fireflies were everywhere, and eventually they began to annoy her. Silence had fallen, aside from the buzz of firefly wings. Lurid snorted as a few tried to go into her nostrils, and she shook her head out as they tickled the fur in her ears. There was a veritable wall of them as she tried to get to the lake, enough that she felt as though she had to paw through them to get anywhere. So, this is what she did, Lurid pushed her way through the bugs as best as she could. Snorting to remove brave bugs, all while her companion laughed from above. Something strange was going on at this lake, bugs didn't just swarm like this! It was enough to even have the dark witch unnerved; feeling the bugs collide with her and walk on her was an absolute nightmare!
