243: The cocoon

There it was, right in front of her eyes. And it was coming from a cocoon-like entity in front of her.

Aurora wanted to take her eyes off the cocoon but there was something attractive about this entity that made it impossible for Aurora to look away from it.

She wanted to reach out and touch this cocoon but Rita's voice was what held her back. There was fear in Rita's voice as she hung back and observed the entity.

"Maybe it is not a good idea for us to mess with this thing. There is too much energy coming off this cacoon and the feeling of an Abyss is reeking from this place. It is making me a little uncomfortable, to be honest."

Rita had never been uncomfortable with the presence of the abyss so this was a first for her. This put even Aurora at a loss of what to do.

She wanted to help Rita out but the need to know more about the origin of the cocoon was overwhelming to the point that Aurora was sure she was under compulsion.
