"You're taking me to a place?" he asked incredulously. Nevertheless, he followed. In his state, he would follow a mynock into a black hole. "If you wanted to wear my skin, you could have just said so from the start."
Laughing, he followed her deeper into the woods, blissfully unaware of the fact that they were going the wrong way because he had no idea which way the right way was. "Yes, it has forests and jungles and swamps. The vegetation is usually black or dark red." He answered the question she'd been thinking about. Veles wondered if there was a method to help her see the world as he did. There probably was, but he needed to give it further thought when he was sober.
"This place is nice--oh." He looked around, eyes darting across the clearing. "Do you think these are natural?"
Seemingly unbothered by the fact that they were lost, he walked forward toward the rocks. "These aren't natural," he murmured, crouching down and extending a hand toward one of the stones. As his fingertips touched it, images flashed through his mind, memories that were not his own. A dark figure hunched over, moving the rocks in position under the light of the moon. Something about the memory made him feel severely uncomfortable. The Sith Lord stepped back once, almost stumbling and falling as he desperately moved to get some distance in between him and the rocks.
The fact that the sorcerer was rattled by what he'd seen was not good. He'd seen many terrifying things, and anything that could still inject horror into his heart was clearly powerful. Realization dawned on him as his brain raced for explanations. Another feeling came over him, a sinking dread in the pit of his stomach. Veles darted his head toward Malou, his face pale under all the tattoos. "Rituals were performed here. Rituals that go against nature itself and are sacrilege against the land done by an entity that scorns all living life." If it hadn't been pitch black, he would have seen how all the vegetation nearby was dead and blackened. He hadn't paid attention as they delved deeper into the woods, but he should have seen the signs earlier.
He rose to his feet. "Malou, we should--"
A branch cracked behind him, in the darkness on the other side of the clearing. A feeling like thousands of spiders crawling up his back shot through him, a chill settling over the area. The forest was still and silent, the pale light of the moon shining weakly on the rocks. Veles turned his head slowly toward the source of the sound, but he couldn't see anything. He gathered the Force to himself and was shocked by the darkness hanging in the air. It flowed through him, but it only made the feeling of dread grow more intense.
