Two more emerged from their chambers, disproving Apelarius’ theory that there may have been some accident with the transformation. Centuries the change had been safe, if not exactly pleasant in and of itself, and the results joyous. A thing to be celebrated. That they might bring about an inhuman’s death was…terrifying to conceive and not something Lamia cared to dwell on.<br/><br/>What was with their group falling to their knees after they emerged? She supposed they should all consider themselves lucky they still had knees to fall too considering some of the bizarre changes the mist had occasionally rendered. She herself had probably only been a few genomes away from losing her legs altogether to be replaced by her massive tail.<br/><br/>Lady Raina and Lady Lucia, they seemed a touch off. Shy perhaps? Odd traits for nobles but then they were easily the youngest in the chamber, so that might’ve had something to do with it. Raina though…the mists were supposed to reveal their true selves, what did that say about a woman who came out wreathed in shadows and laughing at nothing in particular?<br/><br/>The last one out she recognized as Ariadne, and she found herself grinning as the young girl played with her newfound wings. Fliers were rare and always considered doubly blessed. It made sense that someone who had risen through the ranks would merit such an ability.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#32cd32">“Don’t worry about it,”</span>Lamia called to her.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#32cd32">“I don’t think anyone’s come out knowing exactly what they’re capable of. Should see the dents Munelon put in the wall already.”</span>She jerked a thumb at the damaged wall in question where the young man had accidentally let fly one of his purple energy balls a short while ago.<br/><br/>That said, she returned her attention to the priest’s datapad on the podium and began perusing it. Mostly holy scripture, but a few notes as well. Unfortunately it didn’t connect to the Attilan news network so they’d actually have to go outside before they could discover what had happened to drive everyone else from the chamber. But while she was looking, a certain page caught her eye.<br/><br/>The priest had intended her to marry straight out of the chamber. She’d known it was a possibility but to find out so suddenly, see it written out in digital script with such finality was a shock. Almost as shocking to discover that he intended her to someone from a lower class. She found herself glancing up at Apelarius, cheeks burning with sudden heat. She’d only just met him, but maybe he wasn’t so bad. Everything about him screamed endearing after all, even if he was prone to morbid ideas. Least he was pretty to look at.<br/><br/>Suddenly she realized she was staring and jerked her gaze back down to the datapad.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#32cd32">"Nothing in here about where everyone's disappeared to,"</span>she said to the room at large.
