Dime wakes slowly, finding it hard to focus, searches around her as the fuzz covering every thing was shaved down with the fading grogginess. While she played the memories of the battle that played before a frightening image of herself covered in corpse that did not but warm her to the core. What curious thought to know the blood within her activating in such a way would be the most reassuring and hopeful reminder of who she was. Her training barely began before the calamity that struck them prior and she had a hard time knowing where to start with her self taught discovery of her power. It all but made her own Qi take a back seat. Not the greatest idea but she was less combative and more inquisitive these days. She couldn’t use a whole lot of Qi in this world even focusing on the spirits of the apartments.
She remembered the being that rescued her. The horns that adorned their shadowed face. Her savior she wondered where she was and where they might be maybe they had answers for her questions.

As Dime came too she would find she was somewhere very very dark. Only the faintest of light shining in from somewhere beyond her vision. However, something about the location felt familiar...
"Ah, you're finally awake. That's good. I was worried."
That familiar voice from before echoed in the great empty space. She wouldn't be able to tell where exactly it was coming from.

She rubber her eyes further and groaned turning on her side and pulling their cloaks tighter around her. Was she still in not but her swimsuit and cloaks?
She looked around trying to see why this place was familiar what might she recognize and what might stick out as something she’s known. “You the same one who carried me?” She didn’t see them but at least they were near.

As she looked around she could see that there were pillars in room they seemed to have something carved into them, but what she couldn't tell what they were without getting closer.
"The one and the same."
The sound of footsteps could be heard walking around on the hard stone floor.
"I'm curious. How did you come to be on this world?"
The man asked.

She raised slowly from where she laid and steadied her feet on the ground before lifting herself. “Portals opened up with creatures taking people. I ran into one after some others chasing after the creatures. I’m from a different world than even that one carried by yet another portal of some kind... our world had what we called Qi beasts we were used to facing their ferocity and were equipped to fend against them.”
That was the sum of it at least. She looked to the footsteps where she heard them as she stood upright still a bit weak from her wounds, or maybe just straight fatigue, she would saunter to a pillar for support.

The footsteps, much like the voice, were echoing across the empty space to such a degree it was hard to pinpoint where they were, however it was quite obvious that whoever the person was they were staying out of the light.
"I see, and that power from before. When you manipulated that corpse, was that your Qi?"
He asked curiously. When Dime reached the pillar she could feel and see the markings in the stone. As she felt them and took them in they would feel familiar to her, but they were strange and different, probably whatever writing that this world was used to, or maybe she was still feeling the after effects of the poison.

“My Qi simply allows me to send mental notes to someone telepathically...” as she spoke she would smile as she looked at the pillar trying to read it for a moment before letting this familiarity around her turn to outright nostalgia and lean her forehead against the pillar a moment. “The other Qi I have is not mine but a shadow of my great king, a king who sacrificed himself to save the rest of us.”

"Interesting... what was your King's name, I wonder?"
The man asked as he stopped moving.

She looked into the shadows her eyes still glazed and her smile still warm. “Raikotsu Sudeki, from the great Sudeki clan, Blood Dragon, and King of Blood Territory.” Saying his prominent titles and name again filled her with a flickering pride. Pride that she felt all the way to her fingertips as her pulse was a constant reminder that she was alive today because of him.

"Now that IS interesting... And who are you exactly? And what was your relation to your... King?"
The man asked.

“Nobody... just a grateful subject.” Honesty she heard his tone and grew a bit weary not being able to see the person. “I served him as a soldier under his flag and a servant to his people, but my name is Dime Price... my roster of achievements does not reflect a superior measure to most... but I always knew he was watching and I hoped to think he saw something of use.”

"I see... but you must've meant something important to him. As it is his blood that runs through your veins. I can feel it."
The man would say.

“I suppose if I meant anything more... that secret, along with countless others, went to his grave.” She could only imagine something more was possible. She answered him and her eyes really trying to focus in the shadows she dare not think too hard on the familiar feelings that was so thickly prominent in this place without seeing some truth of the matter.
“Please, may you come into my view?” She couldn’t help but lower her voice just slightly during the question. She felt like she was losing grip on her voice trying to ask it. Nerves? This person might have saved her but their mystery was certainly threatening to swallow her if this continues much longer.

"If that is what you wish. Though, do not fear what you see..."With that a Man? would step from the shadows. "My name is Ramses Gaspare, Left Hand of King Raikotsu. At your service.

She gasped slowly exhaling shocked to see him. “Gaspar...” she took a bow remembering the name and the slight familiarity of the man before her. “... you survived Sir? I’ve just I’m ... you look fine I mean knowing where we come from you don’t seem out of place but... is this different from your usual condition or is it your Qi?” She couldn’t believe her eyes and the questions came faster than she considered them. She truly didn’t seem worried about how he looked but to see such a familiar face was exciting and just wild. “Where are we?”
