There was so *much* magic, here; Magic that she could feel all around her, magic of an intensity she'd never sensed before...<br/><br/>The tower trembled around her, making her glance up, alarmed - Was it proof against the storm? Her gaze darted back and forth, between the flight of stairs and the ladder...Her brow furrowing, ever-so-slightly, as she brushed her blonde ponytail back - Her clothes gradually drying, her chest rising and falling with each slow breath.<br/><br/>Above, or below? Which way had that creature - Whatever it was! - gone?<br/><br/>The lovely Cleric went to one knee, her lips curving in a little pout - Slim fingers brushing her silver holy symbol, a thoughtful light in her blue eyes. "I wonder..." she murmured, to herself; Before her slim shoulders lifted in a little shrug. For now, she'd head up the flight of stairs - There was something *really* ominous about this place. Perhaps she could find out more about it before she venturing into the dark~!<br/><br/>Either way, she was beginning to wonder if her stroke of good fortune had been *quite* so fortunate...
