Zara came forth from the darkness, bright and blind eyes white against the blackened background. As she stepped from the cave, her body with the legendary scars and muscles were shown off in the swamp's dim light. With the smell of the bog and the humidity around them, she gave new meaning to 'hag of the bayou'. With her brisk nature and forceful bump against Pandora's chest, she reclined to her haunches and bluntly said, 'What.' The mammoth of a woman impressed Pandora from the start.
She allowed herself to be pushed back, cautious paws slowly stepping onto firm, boggy ground. The marsh made her paws squelch, but she was lost in the absorption of the witch to worry about how dirty she was getting. A smile crossed Pandora's features, golden symbols quivering and shining in the light that gave way through the crooked willow branches. After taking a minute to take in Zara's legendary form, she spoke. "Might I just say...wow," she began, tones holding honesty towards the woman. She had no desire to fuck up her chances with the fighting machine.
Her bright turquoise blue eyes sparkled as she thought of all she could learn from Zara, becoming more powerful than ever. Desire for such knowledge drove the girl to continue. "I am Pandora Artenie, daughter of Maija and..." she slightly paused, "Taurig Artenie." Since she had found out about her father's bloody past, she wasn't so keen on introducing herself as his daughter. Nevertheless, he had helped her exist and she had to give him that credit.
Breathlessly, she hurried her explanation. "I come today seeking your knowledge, Lady Zara." She had learned of the woman through talks Maija and Vi had shared, something she wouldn't disclose unless she was asked. "There is something I want, something I need in my future, and I don't see myself gaining it without your help." She faced the one scarred side, whose eye could still see. "I will have enemies in my future, and I want to know...how to slip them the right concoction without being noticed..." She kept her gaze with Zara's, hoping that she would accept to take Pandora's request under consideration.
