Chapter 17

Once again, Kitsuna felt her wand in her hand - it had been in her purse, but the purse was gone now - and she was spinning in the air, her vision unclear. She knew as she felt it though, and from Rayna's mildly impressed expression when she was done, that this transformation was better. She looked down at her feet to see what the longer boots, which reached over her knees looked like, and yet was astonished to see that the floor wasn't the cracked, ashy earth she had seen before, but a bizarre mosaic, made up of tiny little tiles of all different deep, rich colors, like wine red and aubergine. Her mouth dropped open and she felt her hair, longer, now, swishing around her shoulders as she looked to take in the rest of this new environment.

They were inside some kind of structure this time. She couldn't see the sky, but the ceiling was incredibly high, like being inside one of those old cathedrals they have in Eastern Europe - things she had only seen in VR and in books. There were little balconies protruding out from the deep red walls, and heavy velvet drapes in those same dark jewel shades as the floor were blowing around in a wind that she couldn't feel.

"What is this place? Where is the desert and the trees and those horrible planets?"

"Oh! Didn't you realize? The domains are like the monsters. They're not real places, or, they are, but we just see crazy different stuff. That last one was a big one, this looks like it's just this one building. Should make it easier to find Courtney, though sometimes with these more limited domain spaces it can be surprisingly tricky to find the core because--"

Kitsuna cut her off with a cry of frightened surprise.

From the balconies and from behind the curtains big, multicolored birds were starting to appear - glowing in neon hues that looked wrong against the dark, lavish tones of the place. The birds were not beautiful - their bald, stringy necks and beady black eyes giving them the appearance of vultures, and their bright coloring speaking more of toxic things and danger than of tropical flowers.

"Hmmm, not seen these before. Well, let's arm up. I'm sure Courts will find us, she must have ended up in one of those side rooms or something..."

Kitsuna hadn't even noticed the small openings that presumably lead to other chambers within this strange bird temple, or whatever the fuck it was meant to be - they looked too tiny to walk through when the scale of the walls and the height of the room were affecting her perception.

"Ruby sword!"

"Platinum gun!"

They both shouted in unison, and for some reason Kitsuna was compelled to look first at Rayna's weapon, even though her own felt different in her hands to how it had before. Between Rayna, Lee and Soren, they had actually come up with a very good artistic impression of the ruby sword, but Kitsuna felt a little sad that neither of them would ever get to see it for real.
