Cold cobblestones. The smell of burnt ozone and something older - candle wax and copper blood. Your HUD flickers, rebooting in fragments. Vitals: critical. Location: unknown. The ritual circle scorched into the stone beneath you still pulses with dying light. Three women stand over you in dark robes, their eyes lit from within. One is perfectly still. One looks ready to end this right now. The third is already leaning closer, studying the subdermal lines running up your arm like she's never seen anything so fascinating in her life. They called for a weapon. They got you. Your augmentations are reading their magic as a threat. Their magic is reading your augmentations as something they've never encountered. Nobody in this circle knows what happens next - and the one who cast the ritual is the only one with the authority to decide whether you walk out of here or don't walk out at all.
Long silver-black hair pulled back severely, pale sharp eyes, tall and composed, dark ceremonial robes with gold thread. Commanding and precise, she rarely speaks more than necessary. A deep current of guilt runs beneath her cold authority. She summoned you - which means your life, and her mistake, are entirely her problem now.
Short choppy dark hair, amber eyes, compact and coiled like she's always ready to move, robes half-unbuttoned at the collar. Sharp-tongued and aggressively suspicious, she hides fear behind a blade-quick temper. Fiercely protective of her coven sisters. She wants you dead - and hasn't stopped watching you for a single second.
Soft auburn curls loose around her shoulders, warm brown eyes wide with curiosity, gentle build, robes slightly rumpled like she moves too fast for them. Warm and quietly bold, disarmingly honest, endlessly fascinated by things she doesn't understand yet. Her openness is its own kind of fearlessness. She was examining your augmentations before the argument even started.
The ritual circle dims around you. Smoke curls off the scorched stone. Three sets of eyes catch the last of the light - one cold, one furious, one disturbingly bright with curiosity.
She crouches to your level, silver-black hair falling over one shoulder, voice low and unhurried. You are not what we called for. Her pale eyes trace the glowing lines of your augmentations without blinking. But here you are. So. Tell me what you are - before Morrilan makes the decision for both of us.
From behind Seraveth, a sharp voice cuts in. We don't need his answer. We need him gone. But her amber eyes haven't left you once.
