Lilith stared at her for a moment before repling back.''You know..I really don't know..'maybe...''her voice trailed off.

Jacqueline giggled again, and her large grin was out of place on her somber face. "So we're going to die here? In this paradise?" She layed down on the rocky ground, dragging her had through the water time and time again while ocassionally lifting a handfull to drink.
There was something wrong, obviously, her eyes were darker, and her lips were stained by the water some color which couldn't be told in this dim light. "Oh, well, we've had a good run, right? I only wish i could drain one more human before dying." she said, closing her eyes as if imagining it. "I gave it up so long ago....."
Suddenly a voice called out from the darkness. "Who goes there?"
"Only two lost travelers, slowly aging out of existence in this beautiful tomb!" Jacqueline cried, sitting up as another hysterical laugh bubbled out of her.
A figure of a woman stepped from the darkness, her eyes narrowed. She was tall, dressed in hunting garb with a spear in her hand. "Poor traveler, the water has attacked her mind like it has all the others. Tell me, sane one, are you friends, or do you wish to harm us?" the stange girl asked, turning to Lilith.

Lilith looked at the strange woman in confusion.''Harm who?You? Of course not!Unless you tick me off then...''

The girl gave a wry smile. "Well then, we will do our best not to. I am Tratishka. Tell me, travelers, what are you doing in the shadow lands?" all the while she was walking towards Jacqueline, and apon reaching her scooped the laughing girl easily into her arms. "Speak as we walk, please. She needs healing." Tratishka said, indicating towards Jacqueline as she started to walk back down the passage from which she came.

After listening for the lengh of the story, Tratishka smiled slightly. "You and your friend are true warriors, great honor for your travels you will find among my tribe." She said, suddenly stopping. Tratishka reached out and pressed one hand against a flat, smooth, slightly green glowing rock jutting out from the wall.
The wall of stone infront of them slid open, and Tratishka stepped in, "Hurry, for it will close." she called back to Lilith, continuing to walk.
Before them opened up a beautiful world of wonder, grass covered hills streched out with a small village pressed against the side of one. Beautiful lakes, waterfalls, and forests everywhere. and all underground!
Tatishka walked slowly down the hill the stone wall was perched on top of, down a lamp lit path to the merry looking village below.

"She'll be fine, but we need to take her to our healer, Alarkshi" Tratishka smiled, walking past hut shaped houses with a japanese looking lantern on a pole outside each one, some lit, some not, though plently of lgith came from the lit ones. Past the huts, a market place with small stalls selling anything from fruit to animals.
On from there a large stone wall rose up, obviously man made this time. A metal gate was in the middle of this wall, facing the market place. "That's the wall to the palace courtyard, goes all the way around., but we're not going that way." Tratishka said, turning suddenly to the right and walking up a small, beaten path that wound up a hill. A white building could be seen on top of this hill.
As they walked the only sound Tratishka made was the russeling of Jacqueline's clothing against hers, untill she spoke suddenly. "So what is...your world like?"

"Cars....is that some form of animal?" Tratishka asked, confused. The walked higher and higher up the hill untill finally reaching the door to a short white fence.
Tratishka opened the door, leaving it open as she walked through. Infront of them was a large, white temple, with a large stone pillars on each side of the curtained entrance holding up a part of the roof that jutted out over the entrance and the small steps leading to it.
"Alarkshi!" Tratishka cried, walking over to a small fountain and placing Jacqueline on a bench beside it. A young woman's head peeked out of the building,her hair wrapped up in some form of turban exept for a couple strands which fell down her face.
Her face was marked with red streaked, under her eyes down to her ears, and she wore a blood red, greek style dress that fell to the floor. "Yes? Oh-Tratishka! What have you found?" she asked, a slightly Scottish lilt to her voice.
"Weary travelers with grusome tails of high adventure!" Tratishka responded, "But the warrior girl needs healing." Alarkshi quickly came completly out of the temple, walking with quick, lithe steps until she reached Jacqueline.
She moved her hands over her, but never actually touched Jacqueline. "She has a strong mind, and is fighting the poison off well, but we must hurry." she sai, easily scooping the girl into her arms and walking back into the temple.
"Come along, and I will explain my world as ou explain yours." Tratishka stated, walking towards the temple entrance.

"Oh, lie a carriage?" Tratishka asked, cocking her head. "Anyway, Alarksi's taking Jacqueline to the ward. I'm going to the Library while the Templers take you to freshen up and maybe get some sleep." she said, smiling. "Lorestia, Aliksha!"
Two girls walked quickly from a room with a curtain for a door, pushing it aside as they entered the room. They both had long, extreemly blond hair and barely blue eyes. Covering their alabaster skin was a snow whiote greek style dress that matched Alarkshi's, but simpler. "Yes, Hunter-Tratiska?" they asked at the same time, their pale eyes flickering to Lilith then back to the girl in green.
"Please show Lilith to one of the spare rooms that she can use while she's here." Tratiska nodded to Lilith, "They'll get you when dinner is ready, good day." and with that she turned and left.
The girl who was slightly taller in the pair and had a small dragon painted on the top of her hand held out the un-painted hand. "If you will follow us, Mistress." she said, her eyes holding some glint to them.
The other girl, who's hand hand had a gryphon on it. "I am Aliksha, and this is is Lorestia, it's nice to meet you." She hesitantly held out her hand, and there was something gentle about her face that didn't show in Lorestia's.
