Nyra sees things and becomes A Spiritualist-Paladin :O she will be experiencing a psychotic break
In the late evening, and with most of her patrols done for the day, the Warmaiden descended deeper into the Eye, passing by various dens, empty and perhaps not.
She didn't pay too much attention to that part. Just that she was passing rooms and going down halls, a fog in her head and a machine-like auto-pilot to her body as she went deeper.
Down...
Down...
Down...
To The Mouth of Anubis.
Nyra stood before the blood-lake and watched her reflection in the liquid.
Quietly, she peered for a long, long time and blinks were few and far between.
Eventually, the water began to ripple, or so it seemed...
and her reflection was replaced with a black figure, looking into her very soul with lifeless yet gripping eyes.
Nyra cried out with fear, back-peddling from the edge of the water as the main figure and various sludge-dripping demons rose from the pool.
The demons cackled with distorted voices, and yet the dark reaper-like body stood as if hovering over the bloody lake, watching her with an unreadable face as Nyra wildly swung her head, seeing imps, devils, daemons and horrific beings both flooding into and glitching out of the room, coming closer, moving away, air-swimming past her head, popping directly into her face and all the while they all laughed cruelly.
All except the tall, black figure. Who watched without blinking, or moving.
Her breathing hitched as her heart-rate quickened in pace, pounding in her chest as she pressed herself against the furthest wall, tears rolling down her cheeks - and screamed "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!"
The spirits around her somehow tittered, laughed, and shriekingly cackled louder.
Nyra tucked her head away from the horrific faces and squeezed her eyes shut as her heart pounded in her skull with cheetah-speed.
And suddenly they stopped.
I want you...to believe... The dark figure murmured to her as he slowly dropped to her level, looking her in the face as she slowly met his gaze, his being a calm, patient expression despite the wreckage that was splitting her sanity into pieces inside of her.
Nyra trembled violently as the room suddenly faded back to the way it was.
Taking a huge, shaky gasp of air, the Warmaiden collapsed to the ground and sobbed in heaving breaths.
"MOTHER!" Nyra cried loudly, hoping in her heart of hearts that @Odium or @Exalted would come to ease the Shieldmaiden from the fear still gripping her shaking body.
