Session 93

From the so-called “fun bag,” two dolls were drawn…..one male, one female. It became a shared nightmare. A wave of dread washed over the group, each of them gripped by a dark vision. It left a stain on the day.
They weren’t alone in feeling the of it. Seryna, riding with Orianna, grew unsteady. Her eyes reddened, fangs lengthened, and something primal began to stir within her. Abruptly, she dismounted, clutching her head, voice ragged.
Orianna stepped forward, calm and unshaken. She offered help…offered her blood, even, if it would keep Seryna grounded. But Seryna refused, trembling with restraint.
Aydriann intervened, producing a small vial…Orianna’s blood, drawn and preserved from an earlier time. Seryna hesitated, then accepted it with shaking hands. As she drank, the glow in her eyes dimmed. Her breathing slowed. The beast within was soothed.
And then, her knees gave out. She looked up at Orianna with a softness that betrayed her usual composure.
“I think… I’ve fallen for you,” she whispered, just before losing consciousness.
There was no time to process what had passed. The group pressed on, crossing into the cursed region known as the Tenebralis Expanses. The boy within the compass led the way, boarding a strange vessel that awaited them. At his silent gesture, Peach approached and placed the compass into a hollow brazier at the ship’s heart. As the device settled into place, the brazier flared with ghostly light. The vessel stirred, gliding forward along the shadowed river.
Just hours into the journey, the black mists began to churn. From the void, their first assailants emerged.
