Lights..

Niery continues to wander through the foggy swamp, she's lost her sense of direction but it feels like she's walking away from wherever she started. At least her last landmark is vaguely visible to her south.

The terrain hadn't changed much and it was hard to say whether it was night or day but if she had to guess it was the latter as she would not see a hand in front of her face in the pitch-black darkness of night without a full moon, and the last she had seen wasn't nearly close to being full.

She was passed out for a while.. who knows how long? And when she had initially woken after her encounter with the 'mistress' it was somewhere late in the morning judging from the sun's position.

She continues to roam the seemingly endless fog until she spots some lights in the distance. Small at first like fireflies, but soon they grow brighter and larger like stars on the horizon. They seem to float over the surface towards her, she can't tell how far they are or wether it's her approaching them or the reverse..

[5] [Trick] [Constitution] The lights begin to take shape.. she can't tell exactly what but she recognizes the shape of a bow and.. arrow! It's taking a shot at her [19> 2+3] The arrow made from light flys straight at her torso. When it impacts it bursts out in light sparkles and doesn't seem to hurt her..

• 1/4 fails 1/6 challenges

She knows these are no ordinary lights and searches her mind for an explanation.. Will-'O-Whisps!

[1] [Lure] [Wisdom] She feels something invade her mind.. the light calling out her name, it wants her to follow.. [9+4> NATURAL 1] Her body moves on it's own, Her knowledge of whisps disappears for but a moment before she can shake it off, she knows she's closer as the orbs of light are far bigger and brighter than before.

• 2/4 fails 2/6 challenge

[4] [Hopscotch] [Dextirity] The lights take a familiar shape of a fox.. of her, they hop along stepping stones in the water.. Perhaps the water is dangerous or are they simply playing games on her? [Natural 1<18+*2]
When she ready herself to take a first leap one of the lights plunges into the water, she can see herself panicked in the water before the light is snuffed out.. It looks like she fell into her own trap.

• 2/4 fails 3/6 challenge

[2] [Captivate] [Intelegence] She feels something pull on her mind and knows she has to resist while she still has a clear mind in this situation. [12+4 > 12+1] but her mind seems weaker than that of the spirits.. but only for a moment. She nearly lost it there.

• 3/4 fails 4/6 challenge

[2] [Captivate] [Intelegence] As soon as the feeling fades it comes back twice stronger, she has to resist!
[3+4 < 11+1] but she immediately blocks of her mind and 'slams the door shut'.

• 3/4 fails 5/6 challenge

[4] [Hopscotch] [Dextirity] Again the lights play their tricks and begin to hop across the water, she knows it's a trap but can't resist playing along..
[5<7+2] Whisps use LUCK: [10>7+2] Niery uses LUCK.
[10>2+2]

• 4/4 fails 6/6 challenge

The light hops out one stone before her, waiting for her to follow, another hop followed by a few more.. They make a final hop before Niery sinks into the water, she squirms until an unknown **** lifts her out of the water, and the lights approach and begin to dance around her. She grows dizzy chasing them with her eyes. They smile at her and twirl as if dancing, it's beautiful.

Slowly they come to a stop and stare at her, a few of her own shapes giggle while another applies a kiss to her forehead and rubs her 'pregnant' stomach, she slowly descends back to the ground and is gently placed on a large rock. The lights wave at her before disappearing.

It looks like they simply wanted to have fun or see no use of her gravid body filled with 'child'.
