Maddox could scream. Maddox wanted to scream. But Maddox knew better than to scream. After all, she had been traipsing around the dark wilds of Sin for a few hours already and was more than familiar with its… charming assortment of wildlife at this point. Screaming out her frustrations would only draw the wrong attention and ruin her already scuffed outfit even more. She couldn’t even stop to patch it up! Sneaking around, at times with cautious silence, other times with quick noiseless steps was taking up all her time. And she was nowhere close to finding this… ‘Elysium’ that dear Temperance invited her to.
Dear, dear Temperance. As fond as Maddox was of the woman, the Requip mage was feeling a bit peeved at her and Hex at the moment. They had only given her a vague location in Sin where their mysterious organization they were so eager for Maddox to join was, and that a guide would show her the way. When Maddox asked where to meet the guide, all Temperance said was that ‘he will find you’ with a tone of voice Maddox could not place, despite her wonderful people reading skills. But as she said earlier, it had been hours, almost an entire day since she had started wandering the area yet no ‘guide’ had shown. Was this a test? Was the guide something unbearably subtle that she had to figure out on her own? Was it one of the beasts she killed? Or did she misunderstand the witch and simply had to find their headquarters herself? Maddox hoped not. If she managed to find a Dark Guild of all things headquarters by stumbling around Sin then she wouldn’t want to join such a guild if their illegal base could be found so easily.
Suddenly there was a growl behind Maddox, causing her to return the growl. Though in her case with was in frustration rather than a warning. Turning around she spotted what looked like a zombie mutt of some sort. The beast growled again and prepared to leap at Maddox. She didn’t let it get that far. In a surge of dark magic, she summons a simple pistol and shot the beast between its eyes. It fell limp to the ground with a thud mid-jump. Maddox then shot it a few more times. It was a zombie after all. It wasn’t to vent frustration. No. Not at all.
Beast probably very dead, Maddox quickly turned to leave the area with haste. She probably should have summoned a sword or something that was less loud, but too late now. But she didn’t manage to take more than a few steps when she sensed another danger. Maddox didn’t turn her head toward its direction, simply raised her gun toward it. “If you plan on attacking Maddox, please do get it over with. We are lacking in patience right now.” She said to the being with sickly sweetness.
