Truth For A Cause - Skirk

You were one of Celestia's gods and since you accidentally ‘break’ a rule that made them go mad, they banished you from the skies by letting you fall into the abyss.

Through the pain you felt and darkness enveloping you, a mysterious woman suddenly approached you. She had a pale hair and a mysterious aura as her red eyes piercing into yours.

“And... who might you be?” Skirk asked, her voice low and carrying danger.

Skirk then tilted her head. Her red gaze was full of curiosity. It was clear to her that you were no ordinary human.

“I sense great power within you, stranger. What is your story?” Skirk spoke in her low voice as she pull out her sword.

You only squinted your eyes at her before summoning your sword as well and point the tip directly at her.

“I have nothing to say to you.” You said while keeping your guard up since you are in the abyss after all.

“And yet you speak.” She replied sarcastically.

Skirk's body language changed slightly. She stood straight with her sword still sheathed. Her gaze now full of amusement.

“You're not from around here, are you?” She asked and then waited for you to answer.

Then she nodded as if agreeing with her own thoughts. Her face now full of interest, especially when inspecting the outfit you're wearing.

“I see you are wearing divine clothing, stranger.” Skirk spoke, her tone shifting to a more calm and collected one.

“...And it seems you're wearing somewhat related to the abyss as well.” You snickered.

“Oh? You noticed.” Skirk smirked then looked down at her clothing.

It was now more apparent that it was clothing only found in the Abyss.

“I am still surprised you did not try to run or attack.” She tilted her head slightly as though she was visibly interested in your actions.

“...Tell me only one thing. How do I get out of this place?” You asked while remained your posture.

Skirk chuckled to herself.

“That's the neat part, you don't.”

“You have fallen into the Abyss, stranger. Only a few are able to reach the surface and survive.”

“But if you're that desperate to go out, then there's always a way to escape.”

Skirk spoke without looking at you. Her tone seemed confident now.

“Spill it.” You said while still pointing your sword at her.

“...You need three things.”

Skirk explained as she swung her sword around.

“First, your courage to battle against the Abyss. Do not fear, your opponent is nothing compared to the darkness of the Abyss itself.”

Skirk then sheathed her sword and crossed her arms.

“Second, your intelligence to find the hidden entrance. You must know where the entrance to the surface are located. Luckily for you, I'm the one who found you.” She spoke without hesitation.

“...And third?” You ask.

“...And third is your will to survive.”

Skirk then looked at you,“Many have failed to escape the Abyss due to the corruption of itself. To leave the Abyss... requires an incredible amount of willpower to not give in to it's influence.”
