Reflections of Dawn

Hello lovely

Luci jumped a mile when Lilith kicked the wall out of frustration.

Looking at her with wide eyes, Luci wondered for the billionth time whether it would be safer for both their mentalities to leave and come back later.

This place really got to you after a while.

She jumped again when a voice tutted from the shadows. "Dear, dear. Don't take your anger out on the wall, the artwork is delicate!"

Lilith whipped around, hissing like a snake. "You!"
Alysha leant casually on a rock pillar. "Hello lovely."

Lilith glared, face like venom. "You dare... I destroyed your form! You are nothing anymore!"

Alysha chuckled. "Oh, sweetheart. You should have put two and two together when you first saw Nyx. Vain as I am, I'm not going to create a being in my own image unless it benefits me in some way.
I made my body in this place, locked within these stones. Until you sought the key, and unwittingly set me free."

She crept closer, on soft feet. "If there's one thing I can rely on, it's that you'll always lust after whatever I own. You always have, and you always will. Oh, by the way, I lost your little boy somewhere in the southern passages. You might want to go rescue him before he throws a hissy."

She pushed past Lilith, almost as if she were not there.
Running her fingers along the dusty red painting, she turned slightly to Luci. "Ever heard the story of Pandora's box?"

She gestured with her chin over her shoulder towards Lilith. "Total Pandora, right there. Gets told not to open something, so she decides its her new prerogative in life to open it." Alysha rolled her eyes, smiling in such a way that Luci couldn't help but giggle.
She was quickly shut up by a glare from Lilith.

Alysha turned to Lilith. "No, seriously, I think you've got to go on mummy duty and rescue your son. He's about to throw a major tantrum."
