Thread: Unexpected Journeys [Azecreth & Himeko]

It had been years since she had left on her journey, years since she had last seen her kind. Yet everything she had made was for her pack. She had traveled the world and found many abandoned ruins, sure some had already been raided before her, but she had always found their inner secrets that had been kept hidden. Most treasure hunters only took what they could easily find, as for her she always went above and beyond when it came to finding the rarest of treasures. Sinvious Dawnfang wasn't your typical adventurer, let alone was she the typical treasure hunter, she was much more than that. She was an expert treasure hunter and her level of expertise made her a very well known treasure hunter. During her travels she had heard of this mysterious ruins that was very well hidden inside the lands of Hildegard from a strange woman who had bought the treasures from her last mission. The woman claimed she was from that land and told her that not many return from the ruins of Vanaheimr and that what laid inside was wealth beyond anyone's imagination. Those who did come out however, came out empty handed due to how heavily trapped the place was. Hell not many even dared ventured in there let alone would try and risk their lives with the traps that waited for anyone in there. Yet she was a proud being, and she knew that she would go in there and come out the richest of them all. Her tail swayed in the wind as she stared at the giant metal doors that lead to the entrance of Vanaheimr. Hehehe, so this is the infamous ruins of Vanaheimr, eh? This is gonna be fun. She said with a giant wolfish grin as her large canines showed. She wasn't human by no means, she was what legends spoke of and was one of her kind, a foxwolf. It was said that once every ten thousand years when one foxwolf dies, another is to be born. Never is there to be more than one for whatever reasons, no one knew. Her father was a pure blooded wolf while her mother was a pure blooded fox. Both of her packs were not typical beasts, they were more human-like than the average wolf or fox. They were, as the humans saw them, hybrids. They spoke the language of man, walked on two legs as man, yet they had fur, claws, tails and ears of the beasts. No one really knew how their kinds came to be, just that they existed. Smirking to herself she made her way towards the giant metal doors. Ears perked up as she reached the doors and then took a deep breath before using all her strength and pushed one of the doors open. She was no fighter, that was for certain. But she did know a lot of tricks that had helped get her out of several sticky situations that would have ended up in a fight. The moment she opened the door she could smell the stench of death and decay from deep within, however that didn't scare her off seeing as she had dealt with other places similar to this one. Smirking as she walked in and entered the long forgotten cavern, tail flicking behind her happily as she carefully looked around. It was dark inside, however she could see in the dark with ease and the need of a torch or light source was unneeded. Her red eyes darted around the place as she took note on everything she saw. The halls were filled with many rooms, granted some of the rooms showed bones and decomposed bodies from the previous traps that had been set off. Heh, poor bastards shoulda been more careful. She said in a mocking tone as she made her way in deeper. She knew that the real treasure would be hidden more in the inner sanctum than in the minor rooms she had been passing. After a while of walking and avoiding the traps that had not yet been set off she managed to reach a very large room. Here we go. She whistled as she undid some of the pouches that was on her leather tunic. Pulling out some tools she sniffed around and carefully looked for the major trap this room would have. After a bit of searching she found the trap she had been looking for and she went to work on disabling it. A little bit more... Just need to do this and that and... Just as she was about to finish disabling it she felt something start to rumble around her and before she had anytime to react she realized that there had been another trap connected to the one she was disabling. Shit! She yelled as she felt a strong gust of wind blow heavily around her and before she knew it, she was sent flying forwards towards the back. However, as she was flying in the air she could see the ruins before her starting to fade in and out before passing out due to the lack of air. Little did she know was that there was no way either of those two traps could have been disabled, the way they had been set up was where if one was to try and disable one, the other would activate, and vice a versa. But the traps were made to where if one tried to disable either of them, the one responsible would be sent off to another world. This is what the woman had meant when she said not many ever came out or was ever heard from since entering the ruins. After a long time had passed Sinvious started to stir from her slumber. Nnnn.... She groaned as she rubbed her head and slowly opened her eyes. What the hell happened to me in there? She questioned as her eyes slowly adjusted to their new surroundings. She was surrounded by strange plant life that she had never seen before and even some of the creatures she saw were nothing of what she had seen before, even in her years of traveling. Just where in the hell am I? Is this some sort of illusion made by that trap that I accidentally set off? She wondered as she slowly stood up and brushed off debris off of her.
