NPF Avatars IV, Chapter III: The Sphinx on the Doorstep

OOC: Hmm, well I think we've delayed here long enough. Thus, in the interests of moving along, let the mauling commence.

It was rather like watching a cat play with some small animal in had cornered. In fact it almost exactly like that, seeing how the sphinx was predominately feline, larger than Syttulg and predisposed to play with her 'prey' while Syttulg was (probably) a mammal.

Sparing the details - we've all seen cats toying with something, batting it with their paws and such - a short time later Syttulg had been mauled. The sphinx left him where he lay, in need of medical attention. A thought seemed to occur to her, "You're the first people I've seen here since I took over the job. Why are you here?" she said to Arhra.

"The Invisible Moon is coming."

"Ah, but why would you...?" The sphinx trailed off, "Bah, I don't care any more."

It was, as she had said, unusually impressive for a door opening. Pieces of it withdrew, twisted, shifted in and out and then entire thing irised open as a complex jigsaw of parts.

Her duty discharged, the sphinx decided to attend to more personal matters. As the others began to enter the temple, she sauntered towards Skyshot something about it unsettling. "I know the answer to your riddle." she said breathily, "What's lightest touch brings agony, even the strong can't bear and exists because of an absence? Desire." The last word was openly suggestive as she smiled at him.

"As for cold water burning it, well, it really kills the mood." she purred. Sphinxes love someone who can make a good riddle.
