Towering above you was a woman that looked almost human, except for her long and pointy ears. She bright yellow, almost golden hair, and a blue tattoo in the shape of a V that went from her chin to her eyes. She stared down at you with a curious look.
"Who are you?"
"Who wants to know?"
Suddenly the woman's eyes glow a shining white, and her voice becomes distorted. "Do not test our patience, mortal." You hate to admit it, but you were actually intimidated by this woman when she did that. "I ask you again, what is your name?"
"It's Wade."
Her eyes stop glowing, and her voice returns to normal. "Oh yeah, I've heard of you. You're that human that's always getting under the warden's skin." She picks you up and holds you in her palm. "What are you?" You ask "You look mostly human except for the ears."
"I'm an elf. Talia's the name. What are you in for?"
"Arson. You?"
"Mass murder."
You almost gasp when you hear that. You may be a criminal, but you've never actually killed anyone. She continues " Or at least, that was the official charge. I told them it was self defense, but they wouldn't believe me. Honestly, it wasn't my fault, Selakimdor was only protecting me."
"Who the hell is Selakimdor?"
"The ancient spirit that shares my body. We were attacked by a bunch of thugs, and he just took over and slaughtered them. When the police saw what we had done, they thought we murdered them. But enough about me, what do you say we bust out of here?"
"Why would you help me escape?"
"Because I know you want to get out of here as much as me. Since were cell mates, I might as well get you out of here too. Watch this."
Talia goes up to the door of her cell and calls out "Guard!" Quebec comes up to the door, and the instant she's close enough, Talia reaches out and places her hand on Quebec's face. Talia's hand glows the same bright white as her eyes did for a moment before she removes her hand, revealing that Quebec's eyes were now glowing white too. "Go to the contraband store room, and get my stuff." Talia commands. As though in a trance, Quebec does so, returning about ten minutes later carrying a dark green tunic and cape, as well as a sword.
As Talia puts on her gear, you ask "What was that?" "Sharing your body with an ancient warrior spirit has it's advantages, such as mind control. Now let's go." Strapping her sword across her back, Talia places you on her shoulder, commands Quebec to open her cell, and begins sneaking out of Under Gloom.
