[QUOTE="talien, post: 2266776, member: 3285"] Decimus’ summoning chamber fell silent even as Quintus and his companions clambered up the steps. Their voices faded in the distance. Neither demon nor Sarishan priest nor befuddled adventurer was evident. The symbols adorning the wall began to glow in a hot purplish hue. The stones rippled, like a pool disturbed by a pebble. A cat-like humanoid burst through it and rolled to her feet. A thin membrane of flesh ran from her wrists to her waist. She whirled to face her pursuers, quarterstaff at the ready. The glow faded away completely, leaving the wall barren once more. No one followed. Bijoux’s ears twitched as she her sensitive ears discerned the sounds of the humanoids who had visited her home world. Bijoux sniffed the ground. The scent was still fresh. There were several: an Elorii and three humans. One was still in the house, upstairs. The others were further away. And there was something else. Something unnatural. Something infernal. She sniffed at the summoning circle on the floor. Bijoux wasn’t sure how she had made it through the portal, but she suspected it had to do with the taint of infernal that lingered in the air. She could taste it. And it did not taste good. Bijoux didn’t know where she was, but she was sure they were the intruders her mentor Clodius had spoken to. He had exhorted her to escape however she could, but the magic Clodius taught her was simply not powerful enough. There wasn’t enough time for Bijoux to learn all of Clodius’ arcane knowledge to save her world. There was never enough time, it seemed. But perhaps this world, the world of her mentor, would be different. “Onara,” she said to herself. “Nice to meet you.” Bijoux swallowed hard and tried to put aside the thought that her world might be no more, that she may well be the last member of her race. With a silent hop, the fihali glided to the top of the steps and out the door into the night air. Wherever the intruders were who had been so kind to Clodius, she knew her fate lay intertwined with theirs. [/QUOTE]
