[DROP] No time like the present

She didn’t know... She didn’t like not knowing, being unsure... It was possibly her biggest annoyance. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on such things. Now, Cel watched the creature, how it thinned with each step it took in their direction. She felt the instinctive urge to turn and run, but she stayed with her gaze up and strong. Maybe stubborn was a better assumption about the former duchess. Her fiery, headstrong nature helped her in Northaven. Here? That remained to be seen. Still, she would only be able to see what this world had in store for her if she was in fact around to see it. Then again... The crimson in her eyes flared to life, attempting to look through the dense fog, knowing it was hopeless. Her gaze fell back to the creature, set in her answer. ”Yes,” she said firmly. ”Life without risk is meaningless. It’s worth the gamble.” She sincerely hoped she wouldn’t be asked to follow through with it, but hey, she never went back on her word. celosia Bride of Darkness
