Me, Myself, and I
Aidan got closer to the cave entrance, and what he saw was a horrific sight. There were devourers (giant scorpions) all around, some dead, some living. He looked closer and he saw that a woman was in the midst of the bugs. Her hair was in buns, grey as a cloud. She wore a purple dress, with blue stripes through it. She also held a staff that seemed twisted and eerily evil. He looked back at the bugs and noticed that they were circling around her, while she was clutching a skull in her other hand. It was at that moment that a dark pillar of seemingly nothing encircled her and the creatures. Aidan tried to yell out to her, but no response came. After a minute, nothing had changed, so he started to leave when he heard an explosion, and when he had turned around he saw the pillar was gone, and the woman was standing alone. Aidan quickly rushed up to her. "Are you all right?" he asked.
"Yes. Yes, I'm fine. But those devourers sure aren't," the woman said in an assuring tone.
"Who are you?" Aidan asked the strange lady.
"I am Eve. You're probably wondering what just happened. Well, in simple terms, I sent them to another dimension," Eve said, smiling with a maniacal grin.
"Umm, well, that's cool," Aidan said, confused and in shock at the same time. "How did you do that?"
"Well, I'm a necromancer," Eve clarified more when she saw his expression, "I can manipulate the forces of death and darkness."
"Oh…Ok…" Aidan said, half scared and half awed.
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you to Adam," Eve said. She pulled out the skull from her dress. "Say hello Adam." The skull said nothing, its dark eyes of blankness staring at Aidan, but Eve seemed to have heard him say something. "Sorry, he's a bit shy." She put the skull back in her dress, and she made for the cave exit.
"Ok…I guess I'll see you around…" Aidan said in complete puzzlement.
"Yeah. You'll see me around later…" Eve said, and then she walked away. Aidan stood baffled. He said to himself, "First that charr, then the grawl, and now this… what a weird day." He left the cave, and then headed east, to Fort Ranik.
