--
A dreadful sigh escaped from the Bug Empress' lips.
She opened her eyes, and the same shade of exhaustion was also visible in them. Her borrowed pretty face was marred by a deep frown, which displayed the storm brewing within her mind.
Looking around the room, she checked the things she left inside to make sure that they're working as intended.
Most of these were bones and effigies that oozed with black smoke, staining the room with their taint. Everybody else would find the presence of these many corrupted objects rather frightening and dangerous. Anybody who could stay within close range of them was either the foulest existence in all of the Primitive Universe or a creature that had nothing left to lose.
The Bug Empress should fall into the former category, much to her displeasure. To qualify for the latter, well...something drastic has to happen. But the Bug Empress would first lose whatever's left of her sanity before she allows that to happen.
