From the dark beyond the fire came the most
dangerous creature Kylan had ever encountered. As a Herbmaster he often went
where others did not and saw different creatures and strange animals on four
legs and six, but never this. Jess’ hackles were raised. No amount of calling
on the Deities would help him, and likely they did not hear a lone human.
The creature was blue with an underlying pulse
of purple…colours like the eggs. It had been
a premonition; he just wasn’t afforded the time to figure it out…not that he’d
have come to this conclusion. It was naked, obviously female and very alluring.
Her skin tone wasn’t repulsive in the least. Her hair was long and blue,
swaying gently in the night air. Shaped and sized as a human female, she was
extraordinarily sensual...until he saw her eyes, until he looked.
They were voids, transparent pools so deep they
were eternal. If he stared too long he’d certainly drown, spiralling into
infinity, over and over and over and…he hurriedly looked away. He didn’t know
how he knew her eyes could kill, only that they would.
She laughed. It was a knowing sound that was
also the sweetest he had heard. The danger was far worse than he at first
thought. He knew who she was, but until now hadn’t believed she existed. She
was a myth, a legend, a tale.
...spiralling into
infinity…
This was Infinity, the blue dara-witch.
According to legend and tale and myth she was
the mother of all gods, immune to death and sorcery. The legend further stated
that one could live forever if one subjected one’s soul to her eternal will. This before him was no dream and no
legend. His brief glimpse into her eyes that were not eyes revealed to him
clearly the price for eternal life was death, in any way she devised, endlessly
repeated for her twisted pleasure. It was eternal death and it was endless.
He had to get away NOW.
