Her heart still pounds rapidly in her chest, her skin clings to her cold and clammy, while her muscles remain tense and twitchy, ready run at the first sign of danger. Over top of those sensations however, is a feeling of insubstantiality. She feels thin, her reactions delayed, every move requiring deliberate focus to complete. Even the jumpy reactions of her strained nerves feels slow. Something is very wrong.
>Impa’s Courage and Power have been reduced to 1.Extending her senses beyond herself, Impa can feel that same wrongness in the world around her. The dead leaves around her don’t crinkle as loud as they should. The air itself seems slow and sluggish. Distant objects blur despite her eye’s clear focus. What ever is causing this must be extremely powerful to affect an area like this.
Suddenly Impa spots movement in the direction of the house. Two figures, strangely distinct compared to everything else walk toward the house. They are humanoid, tall, with a strange two-tone skin of light grey and black. Odd cerulean designs pattern their abdomens and arms. Their faces are somewhat featureless with only slight suggestions of a mouth and nose but their eyes, pupilless orangish red stand out prominently in a world that seems to have lost most of its color.
The two creatures “talk” quietly to each other in a strange, distorted, and clipped tongue that Impa can’t understand. Watching tensely from her hiding spot Impa witness to the two figures approach the house. They pause for a moment at the threshold and peer inside. The two wait for a few more seconds, then step inside the house.
>You’ve seen enough to report on. Time to get out of here and out from under whatever is affecting you.>Hold position and wait for the strange figures to come out, you don’t want to get any closer. Not in your current state at least.>Move up and see what those two creatures are doing in that house. They aren’t like those Shadow Beasts so maybe you can get the drop on them.>[Write In]
