She looks at Bagheera, pausing at the entrance od the cave.
She smiles a feline grin
"Although i feel already comfortable in this shape.
The words you spoke earlier kind if ring in my mind.
Being hunted or being the hunter.
And as a Chaosian i have of course my demon form. Which is my battle form."
She steps back and changes herself to her demon form before entering.

#s://i~ibb~co/0BZjR5D/deirdre~png OOC: The wolf shape, yes? She enters the cave and smells intense. A few steps in, the passageway opens into a small cave with an altar and candles. She's been around monasteries and knows the look: black obsidian walls run with veins of silver, and black and silver candles. A portrait of Princess Deirdre hangs behind the altar. It is a strange portrait since it isn't made with paint, but the image is captured by some method unknown to her. Not identical to her pictures hanging in Amber castle. Here, her hair is cut short, and her clothes are a different style from the other royal sisters Dio has met. Her cigarette is in a long cigarette holder. |

Ooc ((actualy meant her demon form the lady with the horns and the wings. But her mangy glowing wolf is fine. Fits probably better in a cave. ))
Dio is cautious with walkng in. But seeing the altar and the painting she looks.
She sits down. Wolf style and tilts her head.
She nods to the painting.
"Who is that? She is pretty."
She looks at Bagheera
"How is this a test?"

#s://i~ibb~co/YdF3SSc/bagheera~png "Princess Deirdre of Amber. The sleeping beauty. A conniver and manipulator of the first rank and pet fascination of Mandor's.
"The test comes when Mandor arrives. I doubt he would not install an alarm system in a place this personal." |

Dio has a shocked wolf face and her paws stretch wider on the ground ready to run.
"Why would you bring me here? If this is so personal, i hate to be a bad guest."
Dio glances over her shoulder cautiously.
Seeing noone yet she stares back at Deirdre.
"Well, since we're here already.. why is she called that?
The sleepin beauty? Okey beauty i get. She is very pretty.
If this is the same Deirdre as some stories u heard, shouldn't she be dead? Or is that just a way of saying she's gone?"

#s://i~ibb~co/YdF3SSc/bagheera~png "You are not his guest; you are his prisoner. Mandor is not known for his altruism. Showing you this place seems like a fair exchange.
"I don't know the truth of the epithet, for I am just a cat. However, rumour says that she lies sleeping in the great beyond, waiting for her prince to awaken her. Maybe Mandor considers himself to be the Prince of Darkness? Even if so, I doubt he's her Prince Charming.
"The same Princess from Amber you've heard of and something of a minor god in certain circles. A minor celebrity in wider circles." |

Dio does a wolf head tilt.
"His prisoner you say, and yet he seemed so nice. Well been in worse prisoner situations. "
She turns to look at the image of Deirdre again.
"A sleeping beauty waiting for her prince. How unrealistically romantic.
But i get the appeal to the story, maybe if Mandor considers himself a Prince of Darkness, he has a shot. A prince is a prince, and if she is sleeping, what choice of prince does she have?"
Dio does a sort of shrug
"And with all due respect Bagheera, you seem more then just a cat. "

#s://i~ibb~co/YdF3SSc/bagheera~png "Mandor is a very civilized man, so one should expect nothing less than a calm tranquillity when in his prison. In fact, I can see he has woven spells about you to keep that sense of calm permanent."Bagheera begins to clean a paw and talks between licks. "That he hasn't kissed her yet must mean that she is still lost out somewhere in Shadow or further beyond.
"An awful fairytale, isn't it? Sleeping defenceless woman getting slobbered on by every passing man who calls himself a prince. This is not the kind of thing we should be reading to our children.
"You are more than a cat yourself. I am something greater than the usual cat. I can see the workings of magic, for one, and talking for another. The ability to walk through walls and haunt Mandorways is another.
"Speaking of Mandor and magic..."There is a pat pat pat sound coming from deep in the woods. Then she sees the rustling of leaves as a small sphere flying at unimaginable speeds and tearing through the leaves. It stops about 10cm from Dionisia's eyes and hovers there, a silver sphere 3cm in diameter and glowing with the heat of its high supersonic flight. It pauses for a moment, then drops to the forest floor and begins a long rolling orbit around the shrine and Dionisia. Bagheera has jumped up to high branches outside of the sphere's influence. |

Dio is silent then nods her wolfish head.
"I see what you mean, civilized, subtle, those are dangerous people.
As for so called princes slobbering defenceless sleeping princesses, it should not be told no. Next thing we know princesses are expected to just wait for their prince charming. Prince of darkness, prince of thieves, pirate prince...."
Dio her voice trails off hearing the pat pat pat sound of the orb that starts to roll on the ground.
She looks at Bagheera who wisely has chosen the higher ground. When the orb is the furthest away from Dio, she takes a powerfull leap to get out of the orb's orbit.

#s://i~ibb~co/YdF3SSc/bagheera~png She feels like she's smashed into a wall and falls back to the ground. "You are learning quickly but do not have those catlike reflexes just yet. Or maybe it's the spell. Relaxed, docile, remember that." |

Dio lays stunned for a moment, then she gets back up. Seeing the orb roll it's orbit she starts to calmly watch it.
"Calm and docile. Heh docile i've learned."
Dio relaxes and watches the orb go past her. And another time until it feels she has it timed so well in her head as if she can breeze past it as if walking by a falling leaf.
She calmly and relaxed takes a few steps to, hopefully, get her out of the orbit

#s://i~ibb~co/c21htKf/dara~png She isn't able to step past its orbit. "You're caught in the spell now. You better hope that Mandor hasn't added more directives into the thing. The Lords and Ladies of the Courts enjoy ensorceling people with subtle enchantments. It's why the fools from Amber enjoyed their stay here so much. So much would have gone better had Random taken the opportunity to visit after the war!"Bagheera tilts her head and listens intently. "He's not here yet. Something must be delaying him. Something important enough that he could only spare one of his little orbies."She jumps to the ground and begins to transform into a human shape: tall, slight, short, reddish hair and a mischievous grin. Her clothes transform with her into brown and orange colours. |

Dio sits down as forcing her way through won't work anyway.
She tilts her head looking at the now lady.
"So you are more then a cat. Like i am more then a wolf. "
Dio thinks for a moment.
"Well, if he has imprisoned me. Then there is a good chance he is keeping an eye on my friend and Despil.
They were going to look things up.
Also things regarding me "
Dio sits calmly.
"So is your name Bagheera, or does your striking human form have a different name?"]

#s://i~ibb~co/c21htKf/dara~png "I do have another name or two. Not sure if I should tell you one of them though. Having Mandor learn it will ruin all the fun of sneaking into his Ways."She makes circles in the air with one hand. "That spell on you is certainly one of Mandor's." more hand circling, "And it has been there for a very long time. When did you first come to his attention?" |
