Reality

Kat let out an almost silent growl as she looked up from the bottom of the staircase. She had just finished bounding down them as she always did, though today it was with a touch more… aggression. Of course, when you slept on splinters of wood, metal, and were inhaling pounds of dust with each breath, you didn’t really wake up too well. It only became worse when she saw Diane wincing with each step. Whether it was because of her own failure, or Diane’s own inattention, it didn’t matter. It only provided fuel for the fire in her. “And I thought I had trained you better than that.”

Diane glanced up as tears sprang back to her eyes. She had been fighting them off all morning, but from Kat’s work rebandaging her as she sipped coffee, to the aches and pains of the ground they had slept on, it had been getting harder and harder. She let one fall now, turning away from Kat, just like the barbarian had done to her. Neither were in the mood for casual chit chat, to say the least, and Diane suspected she wasn’t supposed to hear the last comment. “So, are you ready to head in?”

Kat nodded and pushed against the heavy door. If luck was on her side, it would be something akin to what they faced the day before, and she could work her kinks out. Instead of a crowded room though, or one with obvious traps, there was almost nothing. Simple torches outlined the circular arena, letting them see just how much nothing there was, and Kat could feel the hairs on her neck rise. “Stay close to me. There has to be more to this.”

As the door they came in closed behind them, the door on the other side began to open. Kat’s hand wrapped around her sword as she caught her breath, and the two waited. Trying to rush past whatever may come rarely was good for anyone, and if it was trying to see them attack and use that against them, a quickspell would be the last thing they wanted. As the beings were revealed though, Kat’s hand drifted off of her hilt.

They both were completely black beings, and the shorter one’s eyes glowed red the moment she saw them. Iit reached back for the bastard sword on its back, before swinging it out in front of her with a two handed grip. Kat began walking towards it, drawing her own blade in the process, but keeping it loose with only one hand on it. The tall shadow-like creature cocked her head as Diane did so as well, and they both began to walk behind their respective warriors, their robes dragging along the ground.

As Kat got to the center of the room, she attempted to smirk at the thing, only to find it doing the same. She opened her mouth to call it a copy, and merely stood there as the creature mouthed out the words, but said nothing.
