Flames crackled, casting odd shadows across the stone walls, shadows that spoke of feathers, of claws, and of strange tools. They cast long, threatening specters across hand painted murals depicting an ancient threat. A threat that... seemed to be haunting the lands once more. At least in the opinion of the one the shadows were revealing.
Pale golden eyes flashed, long lashes caked with dust flickering as the being slowly, gingerly used tiny brushes and small shovels to extract something that was long ago buried. There lay a small pile with two other pieces off to the side, each one wrapped in cloth and placed carefully away from anything that could harm them. The sound of boar bristles was the only other sound in this room as silence reigned.
She had been at this for hours, most of which were spent in a crouched, awkward position that left pain in the hips and legs. However she was... Nearly done. Nearly there. A smile graced her pale skin, alabaster smeared with grey and brown dust. Small fangs showed behind those plush lips, gracing this woman with a predator's grin as the sound of stone against stone was heard, and within a few moments, a sharp inhale of triumph followed.
She leaned back, falling right onto her rear as her mane of hip length magenta and red hair fluttered around her like silk, bound tightly in a ponytail that had released a few strands. In her hands was an odd... egg shaped chunk of stone with strange runes and odd carvings covering the surface. Her bright gaze showed relief, showed joy as she held it towards the light of the torch she had planted into the ground nearby. This was... Definitely the best night she had had in recent time.
The female stood, holding the egg in one hand and patting her generous curves down briefly. A small cloud of dust flew from her body, and she groaned. She would need to bathe, and gods how she hated water. Hated it with a passion. But, she would take a thousand baths just to be able to relive this moment. This win. Gods she had needed one.
Solaria Nox had finally proven her theory correct, and would be able to make the world better for it! She smiled, looking back to the little orb in her hand, and then pulled her overshirt off. She was simply dressed now in a pair of trousers, boots, and a white undershirt that barely hid her form from gazes. With the grey overshirt she wrapped the artifact up and let out a sigh. She could find the rest of them. Could figure this mess out and could possibly even stop this whole problem from beginning.
The female chuckled and moved towards the other artifacts, picking them up and bundling them into her bag gently, carefully, cautiously. If they broke, she didn't know what would happen.It couldn't be good, however, so all precautions must be taken at this point. She patted herself down once more after tying the bag shut. She would bathe in the morning, when the sun could dry this ungodly length of hair she refused to cut. She could braid it, let it dry in waves, and then let it down again.
She ran her fingers over the feathers in her hair, the wings at her back fluttering. They were a shade darker than her hair, the edges fading out to a black that made them look like the edges were burnt. However, they were well taken care of, and as she stretched them out a soft groan escaped her lips, the muscles relaxing after a few moments. Gods they'd been pinned to her back for so long they ached nearly as badly as her arms did. Perhaps...
She eyed her bedroll.
If she left before dawn the locals wouldn't catch her, and she could get her findings and leave. Hell, she could potentially get even more ingredients than the ones she had swiped from them earlier.
Sol shrugged, putting the torch out and simply bedding down for the evening. There was no sense in wasting any more energy. Instead, she would save it for her flight in the morning.
