Silken touch

"I believe I've seen and heard enough for today," Alicia says. "Antenora?"

[Anastasia]

"As have I," Antenora concludes, "I've learned enough."

[Ebiris]

Alicia looks at the fake celestial without a word, just mutely communicating 'I've got my eye on you' before she and Antenora fly up an away how they came.

[Anastasia]

Your retreat is unopposed.

Once out Antenora looks to you.

Curious and informative at once. What did you make of it, Alicia?

[Ebiris]

Alicia cloaks them in invisibility so they can sneak back out to where they can plane shift away.

I sensed a curious lack of deception all things considered.

[Anastasia]

As did I. I looks like it hates us so much, but there is a lack of malice in its actions.

[Ebiris]

I don't know if there's anything helpful for us there, and it's not worth turning the place inside out to discover it at this point. We'll see how things develop for now.

[Anastasia]

I'm not sure myself. I think the bigger question is that being rather than 666 itself.

[Ebiris]

I'm not entirely sure if it's a thing like the guardians or a demon lord with a specific task. Come along, talk more once we're out of the Abyss.

[Anastasia]

[Anastasia]

Your escape back to Sylica is peaceful. Once there Antenora draws out a long breath, "So many questions, so few answers, but I still feel it was productive."

[Ebiris]

"I'm not sure," Alicia says, taking off her emerald amulet for now, not wanting to rely on it for daily use. "We didn't come away with anything tangible, but at the same time I would have had doubts about anything we were freely given from there."

[Anastasia]

"Do we consider it a dead end for now?" Antenora asks.

[Ebiris]

"I think so," Alicia says. "Whatever secrets it holds, they're not going to be given up before things escalate even further than they have right now. Not unless we use force which I don't think is worthwhile."
