It seems to happen within seconds. At first, she can hear Charlie’s voice in the distance, although she could no longer see the child’s form with all the fog. Corrdelia is blindly walking forward with one cautious step after another in case she walks into anything dangerous. Still, she is not able to find the girl again and she starts to worry. What would her parents think if she had been responsible for losing her? The girl was quite independent anyway, but she would never forgive herself. Hopefully, wherever she is, her bonded is protecting her.
The fog appears to be lifting ever so slightly and the woman squints her eyes forward. She attempts to make out anything around her that would give her a better idea of where to go. She doesn’t seem to have any luck, but then she sees red. It’s a pair of glowing orbs in the distance and they seem to be multiplying. She takes another couple steps forward and Hasta is right by her side.
"This isn’t safe, we need to find a way out of here," the crow warns her.
"Are you able to fly up ahead and help me? I can’t find a path at all."
"I can try," she says before flying up into the air and disappearing into the fog above them. Now she is alone and it turns out to be a mistake.
She can see the fog transforming into some deranged dark creature. The red orbs are in fact a pair of eyes and there are several creatures up ahead. They keep multiplying until there’s a huge group of them. Fear catches in Corr’s throat as the fog thins and thins. Pretty soon, while she may be able to see her surroundings, so will these creatures. Quickly, she goes to crouch down behind some bushes along a cluster of trees. Her hope is that her gray form will blend in with the surroundings and the creatures won’t find her.
"Hasta, be on alert. There are some kind of demon spirits ahead of me."
"Get out of there then!"
"I can’t, they’ll see me."
Even though the pair are speaking through telepathy, it seems the shadow creatures heard a noise somehow. Through a space in the brush, Corr sees them lurch forward, red eyes glowing. They aren’t looking at Corr but they are on the hunt for something (or someone). She prays to Vespera that it’s not Charlie or Indy.
Thankfully, they speed past Corr’s hiding spot and head further away into the woods. For now, maybe she’ll be safe.
(Corr chooses option 2, dodging their attacks by hiding from them in hopes she can avoid them)
