Maea
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
It was a difficult climb to make in winter. It could be argued that this made the trip more worth it, but for all that she didn't mind, it was still a relief to reach the ground.
Foregoing the option to light her way for a chance to savor the utter darkness within the cavern, Maea picked her way along a path that was growing increasingly familiar. Her heart still raced as the reached the ruby cluster and opened a cut in her palm to let her blood soak the crystals, but she thought it was equally as much from anticipation as from nerves.
"My lady, I have completed the tasks you set for me," she spoke into the dark. Unpacking the large serpent hide she had harvested, wearing the armored dress, she had a new appreciation for just how much of a difference it had made. "I think this armor saved my life," she reflected, thinking of the encounter with the rock slider. "And I know for a fact that Astaroth did. I used to resent the idea of needing other people, but... I don't know. Lately I've been far happier while around others of my kind."
They were slowly growing on her, gradually turning into precious things she did not want to lose. It was wonderful - and terrifying.
Maea has completed her quest to upgrade her armor!
Set fire to the rain
