Once a grand cathedral dedicated to the Holy Triumvirate, all that remains now are ruins ever since the religion was rejected strongly in 1823. While the religion is back in favor, the cathedral was never restored. (+3 Defense, +2 Offense)

Even though the room seemed to blur around them, allowing him to move too silkily through it, Hie strove to keep her "guide" in sight all the while. She wouldn't look away, even though the sight of him hurt, smacking of some wrongness she couldn't believe she had missed before. His words, on the other hand, spoke relentless truth. He approached, and her head began to ache; black needles spiked into the edges of her vision, passing only when he walked past her to his perch. Her bedside. At risk of their return, Hie moved closer. She couldn't stop herself, really - that was her own body lying there. No matter how she tried, she couldn't tear her gaze away from her own prone form.

"Amuse you? Isn't that what I've been doing all along?" She couldn't stop herself from saying it. Once the words were out in the air, she was surprised to find that she didn't regret them at all. "You've been here...all this time. Knowing that I didn't believe Dad. Reveling in it." That last was bitten out, spat like so much bile on her tongue. "I stopped letting him check my room a long time ago. I told him that I could do it myself."

And she had...but it wasn't the same. Just looking around the room now, Hie knew that he, or any number of monsters, could have been dancing atop her head as she checked and she would have never known. How could she? Seeing him for what he really was meant suddenly having eyes into an entirely different world.

Wraith chuckled at her anger and her distress, soaking it all in and feeling himself becoming more powerful and alive. He made a face of mocked shock and disappointment before letting the smile slither back to his lips. He flickered out a black forked tongue--tasting the air of the dream and the anger and fear she filled it with. She was so delicious, he'd made a wise choice to groom her for this.

"You are smarter than that--do you believe yourself to just be here for amusement? Trapped in an elaborate dream realm? Not that it isn't quite fun, mind you, but hardly the point. Look deeper, my clever girl." He moved quickly--almost as if he were suddenly made of mist to disappear from her bed and reappear at her side.

"That was one of your...less clever moments. But warranted--I've spent precious years keeping other, lesser beings at bay from your home. You've long been claimed as mine...and now I'm here to collect my rewards for all those years of work. Pity your father didn't even realize all this time that he was actually helping me in my quest. His relentless urging and my valiant efforts in the Other Realm combined to create such a delightful blend of mistrust and doubt." He chuckled, moving to brush her hair away from her face if she wasn't fast enough to avoid his touch.

"Smile, child. You've been groomed for this moment your. Entire. Life." The touch once meaning to be gentle if not a bit creepy suddenly turned into a grasp--for her wrist, her arm, anything close enough for him to wrap cold fingers around. "And I shall be sure to enjoy every ounce of what you have to offer me."
"I have been hidden, scorned, adored, worshiped, forsaken, coveted and banished more times than I care to count. But the one thing all those experiences cannot steal from me is the gentle soul I was born with, the kind heart I have molded, and the bright ideals for the future that have lit my way through the darkness of the past."
