Eyeing Ehkan's familiar, a sense of familiarity washed over Roesia. She herself had a hawk familiar, though hers was a beautiful translucent purple. Watching as the golden bird perched upon the man's shoulder, Roesia found herself admiring the celestial beast from afar, wishing to bring her own out as well. Resisting that urge, Roesia continued down the path, following Theradin and Katsu closely as third in line. Adding her own rope to Theradin's 150 foot's worth, she prayed and hoped close to 200 feet of rope would be more than enough to reach the bottom. Something in the back of her head told her otherwise though- it wasn't called a chasm for just any reason.

Listening to Ehkan's suggestion, Roesia decided to follow whatever those who clearly knew what they were talking about's instructions. Theradin was anchoring the ropes while Roesia found herself trying her best to peer through the pitch blackness. His voice caused the she-elf to turn and look towards him before offering a nod. "I'll send Hera down." Lifting her hand to the amethyst jewel on her neck, she clenched it softly before it began to glow. Suddenly, a purple hawk began to form on her arm, perching itself neatly with a quiet screech as it finished forming completely. Without a word, Roesia thrusted her arm forward and Hera took off. After flying outward about a dozen or so feet, the hawk dove downward, disappearing completely from sight as the darkness enveloped her.

Roesia's blind eye began to glow the same purple as Hera, signifying she could see through the bird's eyes. It was clear the she-elf was straining to see, likely just as much as her familiar was. "Hawks can't see so well in the dark, they're daytime hunters. For now, all I see is darkness, but she's still descending." Roesia fell silent, and waited patiently for something, *Anything* To come into view.

The darkness didn't seem to break in the slightest, not from the sun nor from the occasional pebble or small rock that fell from being disturbed by the party's descent close to the ledge. It was clearly not a fog nor a mist, as anything falling through it would have shifted the surface in some way, surely. Larger rocks that fell over the edge did not echo when hitting the bottom. It was almost as if there was no bottom to be found, as scary of a notion as that was. Even when Roesia's familiar Hera dove into the blackness, nothing seemed to move or shudder to show she had passed through it. As she passed through it, nothing but darkness would envelop her vision.

The farther down she went, the more it seemed as though the chasm went on downward forever. While familiar's could not feel pain nor could they die, they still had physical bodies. Many were ridden as mounts, Hera perching on Roesia and Golda doing the same on Ehkan was proof enough of that. It wasn't long after Hera dove through the darkness that Roesia and the rest of the party would receive their answer on how deep the chasm was. After only around 5-10 seconds, the familiar bird would smack into what was presumably the bottom- or at the very least another ledge. While the rest could not hear it, Roesia would hear Hera let out a surprised squawk.

Soon, the bird returned above the sea of darkness and quickly disappeared back into Roesia's necklace. The she-elf's eyes would return to normal.

The words '-*She's still descending.*' had barely left Roesia's mouth when the sound of Hera squawking and a loud thud could be heard in her mind. Visibly, the she-elf jumped. "Gods." Shaking her head at herself for reacting in such a way, Roesia was pleased when Hera returned to her. Watching as the beast disappeared, the huntress turned to Theradin who had just checked to ensure the rope was secure. "Well, she wasn't flying very fast as she was descending, but even still it's quite deep and entirely dark the all way down. I-..." Pausing, as it was slightly awkward to mention, Roesia continued. "-I believe Hera smacked into the bottom or another ledge perhaps, as she nor I couldn't see it as it drew closer."

Turning to look at the one who had been tracking her, Roesia gestured to Ehkan. "Does your familiar have the ability to see in the dark? If it is magic as you say, I'm unsure if anything will work. Magically created darkness is notorious for being impossible to see through with any sort of light- even those of us with dark vision can't penetrate and see through it. Perhaps descending is our only option. I didn't hear anything else while Hera was down there either, so perhaps there's no dangers where Hera... *Landed*."
