TEINAR > Wastelands

Stuck In Limbo [Silmeria] [M]

(1/41) > >>

Stardancer:
“Hellooooo?!” Tessa called out to the grayness around her. “Can anyone hear me?” No response. Panicking, she called out several more times, stubbornly trying to get some kind of reply in return. “Anyone!!” Still nothing. Letting out a shaky breath, Tessa looked around her.

This place was downright strange. Tessa didn't know where she was or even more importantly when she was. Time didn't seem to matter here in this place of nothing. This place that seemed to exist nowhere and everywhere at once. How did she know this? Tessa wasn't exactly sure, but she did know one thing. She needed to get out, to escape somehow. There was a sense of utter urgency underlying that thought as though she had little time left or that much 'time' to even start with. What would happen when 'time' ran out, she didn't know and further didn't want to know the answer to that.

Recalling how she got here in the first place, Tessa shuddered. She had been exploring the wastelands with a couple others when suddenly she was no longer there anymore, but here in this land of limbo. There had been some kind of energy or hole or something, perhaps a rift of some kind that had swallowed her up. True, there had been rumors circulating around Teinar that people sent out to forage and hunt for food had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even more disturbing were the reasons behind these disappearances. That there used to lie an ancient fortress of some kind where dark magics were practiced there regularly, and that over the years as the place crumbled it left behind in its wake a dangerous magic or magical effects that tore through the very fabric of reality itself, sending those who got caught in its clutches off to an uncertain fate. The rift or whatever it was, seemed to just spread with each passing decade. With nothing to contain it, it was given free reign to grow at a steady pace.

Tessa didn't know where her companions were and this scared her. She was alone in this nowhere place, with only a gray barren area before her of both sky and land and no discernible ground on which she walked upon. Ghostly shapes flitted by her blinking in and out of existence, whether they were lost souls, forgotten memories or what was unknown to the girl. Tessa just wanted out of here but she had no clue as to how to go about doing that.

Rummaging through her denim bag, Tessa got out her flare gun and pointed it upwards, letting out a flare of bright light watching as it soared into the empty nothingness that was the sky. It flared brightly for several seconds lighting up the grayness with a sense of life that was not present elsewhere in this place before winking out of existence, with nothing more but the gray around and above her once more. Tessa didn't know if there was anyone around to even see it, but she had to try. She wouldn't go down without a fight or some kind of effort on her part. If she was to die here then she would put up as much resistance as humanly possible before death or endlessness, whichever came first, took her.

Putting her flare gun back in her bag, she gripped her short sword in her right hand tightly, as though it were the only thing keeping her sane and grounded in this unnatural landscape. Tessa needed a sense of security with her and the short sword provided a meager amount of that. And so she clung to it as though it were the difference between life and death, sanity and insanity. With nothing else to do, she walked onward into nothingness with nothingness surrounding her and no idea where she was going.

Spicious:
It was almost finished.

After almost five thousand years, Arthuriel was almost returned. He had almost died those many years ago but had managed to save himself by casting a single thread into the void. Now he was almost returned, and he would be a plague among the world.

All would fall before him.

But he'd need a host, he realized. No worry, he'd find someone, even limbo had its denizens.

Stardancer:
More endless gray. Despite being here only a short time, Tessa was quickly growing sick of it. "More barren wasteland crap...." she muttered, annoyed. "More barren nothingness to walk around in and I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I'M GOING!" She suddenly shouted, her words being swallowed up by the emptiness around her.

"Go forage for food, Tessa. Go bring back something for supper, Tessa." she imitated her mother in her sassy way that Tessa was known for. "Yeah, well mom I'm sorry, but I can't bring back any plants or dried roots because somehow I took a wrong turn and ended up in LIMBO!" Screaming that last word into the thin gray nothing. And of course, there was no answer. There was no life. Except for her.

Tessa sighed angrily. And kept on walking. After all, what else was there to do? Bird watch or something? Soon though, the large shape of a building loomed up ahead in the distance. Tessa blinked. And stared. And blinked again. Yep, there was a building alright. As she got closer however, she saw this building looked like some kind of ancient temple, but the thing that really peaked her interest was the fact that it shimmered in and out of view continuously, as though only partially there. Tessa supposed she shouldn't be too surprised. It was limbo, remember?

One might question the wisdom of going near a strange ghostly temple in the middle of nowhere, but then again Tessa's choices were severely limited as it was so obviously wisdom didn't apply anymore. Reaching for the doorknob which glimmered in a strange light, Tessa hesitated before finally pushing the door open, stepping inside its dark, dank corridors.

SilverLuna:
Inside the temple it was dusty and the air was thick. Symbols were drawn everywhere and for some reason one room was filled with water but it did not flow out of it. At some places even parts were missing or rather said there was truely nothing there. Another room seemed to have the sky in the floor and a bit of grasslands where the ceiling was supposed to be. It even held animals.

''Who is there!'' A voice sounded. It was male for certain and footsteps echoed through the entire place continuesly paired with something made of wood. A man aproached Tessa slowly. He seemed well built but filthy and by the Gods he smelled. Above all. He was as good as naked. His eyes seemed most likely the weirdest of all. They were like white opal gens even luminating a little.

Stardancer:
Coughing on all the dust around her, Tessa stepped in further letting the door behind her shut with a clang! Just after that loud display, the brown-haired girl heard a male's voice call out, demanding to know who was there. Finally! she thought, excitedly. There's someone here after all!

Her excitement quickly turned to shock when a man came out then. The first thing she noticed was the god-awful smell emanating from him. The second was the fact that he stood before her completely naked. As in, no clothes. Tessa just stared at first. Her eyes curiously looking down to his man bits, and by the friggin' fates, was the man well-endowed down there. Tessa had only ever seen one man naked before in her life, and that was when she and a fellow neighbor decided to get down and dirty somewhere in a secluded part of the underground city where she was from. And it was safe to say, that man had nothing going compared to the stinky dude before her now.

Once again, reminded of the stench, she then plugged her nose with her fingers, while gagging. "Geez dude, ever heard of a bath before?" she coughed and sputtered again, both because of the malodorous stench and the dust which got swirled up and around because of his entrance. The one other noticeable thing about the man was his eyes. They were of the most opaque white. Tessa couldn't tell if he even had any pupils at all or if the man was blind or what. Once again, her gaze traveled south and lingered there. Just staring.
