Teanna kept close to Golsha, even when the floor became sticky and slick and slimy and her boots started to shluk and stick to the gooey stones. For a moment she thought that she'd have to throw away the boots and she already felt a pang of regret. They were comfortable boots, well suited for travel and daily life as well. Such a shame. Such a blasted..... Her thoughts broke when Golsha sunk down into the goo before her and the floor started to slither up their legs, eating away at the leather and fabric and bringing a sense of panic to her heart.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff00ff">"Wha... What's this? What's happening? Golsha!"</span>the tiefling turned to the orc amazon and gasped in horror at the goo quickly rising to swallow her green-skinned friend.<span style="color: #ff00ff">"No.... No... NO! You won't have her!"</span>she screamed and reached out for Golsha out of terror and then.... Something snapped. Her vision was momentarily reddened and her skin burned, the heat coming from the core of her body and pulsing quickly towards her outstretched hand, to the tip of her fingers. An infernally yellow glow formed at the tip of her finger and shot out at the ooze, covering it in hellfire for just a moment.<br/><br/>Teanna felt time slow to a crawl at that moment, she could see the glow, the hellfire, could feel the heat on her skin and foul, infernal magic being released from her body in that flash of a second. She could remember the village she ran away from, the fear, the panic, the desperation that made her hide in the farmer's shed. She remembered being found by the farmer, shouting, the hoe in his hands coming down on her and striking her horn off. And then she could remember fire, the burning corpse of the farmer, burning in hellfire like this, and then the pain in her horn, not in her stump of a horn.<br/><br/>Time regained purchase and her vision returned but her body felt so very weary and she could not help but fall to her knees in the goop, dizzy, ears booming and eyes clouded by tears and strain.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
