A motion, a groan. Prismed eyes opened in a snap to the last instant she'd been awake. There had been a...snake? Yea, Zigorot.

"I remember...he'd frozen me with his eyes then breathed something in me."

She sat up, placing a hand on her forehead, moving her hair back through her fingers. Rainbow dances glittered through an array of blue grass. Zigorot was gone.

"What happened...?"

She closed her eyes again, waiting to see what visions would come to the last prophet.

Nothing.

She tilted her head to the side and concentraited a bit, forcing them to come to her.

Still, nothing.

Prismed eyes snapped open, extremely distressed. She took in a deep breath and let it out cough, still suffering from the delayed effects of Zigorot's breath.

Then she felt it, a presence that should have been long since dead.

Wraiths surrounded her, clawed hands extended out in greeting. "Greetings mistress, how may we serve you today."

Ariel held her head, bladed wings curling over her in a defensive dome.

"Oh goddesses, not again."

Her own voice echoed back, but somehow very acidly sweet.
They can't help you now. You don't have a choice.
