Infinity


From the dark beyond the fire came the most dangerous creature Kylan had ever encountered. As a Herbmaster he often went where others did not and saw different creatures and strange animals on four legs and six, but never this. Jess’ hackles were raised. No amount of calling on the Deities would help him, and likely they did not hear a lone human.
The creature was blue with an underlying pulse of purple…colours like the eggs. It had been a premonition; he just wasn’t afforded the time to figure it out…not that he’d have come to this conclusion. It was naked, obviously female and very alluring. Her skin tone wasn’t repulsive in the least. Her hair was long and blue, swaying gently in the night air. Shaped and sized as a human female, she was extraordinarily sensual...until he saw her eyes, until he looked.
They were voids, transparent pools so deep they were eternal. If he stared too long he’d certainly drown, spiralling into infinity, over and over and over and…he hurriedly looked away. He didn’t know how he knew her eyes could kill, only that they would.
She laughed. It was a knowing sound that was also the sweetest he had heard. The danger was far worse than he at first thought. He knew who she was, but until now hadn’t believed she existed. She was a myth, a legend, a tale.
...spiralling into infinity…
This was Infinity, the blue dara-witch.
According to legend and tale and myth she was the mother of all gods, immune to death and sorcery. The legend further stated that one could live forever if one subjected one’s soul to her eternal will. This before him was no dream and no legend. His brief glimpse into her eyes that were not eyes revealed to him clearly the price for eternal life was death, in any way she devised, endlessly repeated for her twisted pleasure. It was eternal death and it was endless.
He had to get away NOW.
