over and over again

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." There wasn't much she could say to that. Because, in all honesty? Even Maea didn't know what she would think then. How she would end up remembering this encounter. It had started off good, and perhaps it might still end the same, but there were too many words unsaid in between there and here. Too much old prejudice, and not enough time to process her traumas. This new predicament she was in didn't exactly help matters any. "We'll just have to see" she sighed. "Feel free to prove me wrong?" It wasn't quite an invitation, nor entirely a challenge, but it was an outstretched hand, there for the taking if he ever felt like accepting her apology. Because she meant it; Maea didn't want to be afraid of him, and if he cared to try and pick up the tone they'd started to find... well. She wouldn't turn him away. At least.. she hoped she wouldn't. The pale-haired woman was just about to retort in defense of her guildmaster when she became aware of the cave they were heading towards. She saw people moving about there, and a peculiar light phenomenon that lit the sky for some distance around them. There was something eerily familiar about the way it towered up like a pillar, like... like a spire, and alarmbells started to ring in her mind when they got closer to the entrance. "What is this place? I thought you said you'd take me to the Hollow Ground..." she asked, turning to Amun with wide eyes. Her lips had gone pale, nearly colorless, and though there was still fear in her eyes, it no longer seemed directed at him.
