Nightshift 26: Sun Room

[[ from here. ]]

The door opened for her, her hands needing only to coax it gently as it creeked and allowed her entry. River entered the room, a wide-eyed girl wandering in the darkness, entering the castle of a vicious lord with innocence and white robes draped about her small, thin form. But even through the mist, the trained eye would see the illusion.

The figure was merely a sword, finely crafted and dressed up to look like a simple girl. It was a play, and the actors would soon reveal themselves to be just that. With every sense honed to the sounds and the essence of the expansive Sun Room, River gently shut the door behind her and began to skip forward, eyes on the ground but aware of so much more. She sang a tune softly to herself as she danced further into the darkness of the arena.

"Night's come again. Two by two, dancing in blue." The haunting, sing-song melody of her voice pierced the otherwise perfectly silent air as she waited.
