CTR1: Otenta Defeats Aetheri

Standing at the base of a pit, Aetheri watched with a hypnotized fascination as thick, roiling liquid surged back and forth, bubbling and hissing when it came into contact with debris; the heat was intense, unlike anything she had come to feel so far - though it didn't seem to phase her. The walls of the cavern reflected with a deep purplish hue, the walls glassed over - she had learned the name of this stuff. It had been called Obsidian, and it was only apparent near sources of magma. There was nothing quite like it on the planet. What intrigued her the most though, was how a place like this could exist in the heart of the frigid lands that encompassed it. The young woman continued to watch it with a keen interest before something drew her attention. The loud rumble of something breaking made her look up to see part of the walls beginning to crumble, the rock having corroded from the extreme heat, and dried out. The splash of the liquid-fire hissed viciously, and it was enough to step back from where she stood. 

She continued her meandering, seeming untroubled by her surroundings. She noted how her bare toes were stained with soot and ash. The fine powder was everywhere, and it lay itself in her dark hair, and along her only piece of clothing which consisted of a short-sleeved, nondescript summer's dress. Her skin was a bit unnaturally pale, and like her dress soot marred it with its ugly charcoal grey. Wiping it free from her face, it was then she noticed that she was not alone - somewhere off through the blistering heat and wavering air, she saw another entity, and before him, a large ominous looking bridge.

Aetheri took her time to approach the other end of it, a light bluish hue emanating from her body. The ghostly looking light flickered and danced lazily, much like watching a fire. The soot simply crumbled away from her skin, and the light expanded two feet in all directions from her center, keeping it off of her. On she went, before coming to a halt at the base of the bridge. She paused for a moment as she looked at it with her typical neutral expression. Finally her gaze met the male, and she took a brief moment to calculate his presence. She didn't know his reason for being here, but the floating object beside him spoke power.

Without so much as a word, the bridge began to sway and creak as she took her time to begin crossing it, one foot carefully finding its place in front of the other. She didn't look remarkable, though she had no fear of falling or dying. She didn't seem to pay much attention to the man, uncaring of his being here. No, her only focus at this point was to cross the bridge, and carry on her adventure through this odd world.

I am aware Alchemist is the official judge, but considering I was approached, and Alchemist is not readily available, I will post this on her part. Aetheri requested a time extention. He did not elaborate on how long an extention, so it is 24 hours by default.
