{Through the Doorway}

Whatever your reasons for opening the door; it's too late to change your mind. One footstep in was all it took and you're arrived elsewhere. Your world shutting behind you in the sound of a click. Turning around reveals that door is gone.

Vanished.

More than that, you're not alone. There are others in the same dank and dingy room as you are. Looking just as confused. Wherever you came from, the place you've ended up in looks to be a disused jail cell. Stone walls. And some kind of mold or moss that has overgrown one of the corners. The bars that separate you from a dim passageway look half rusted and that door might not even be locked.

Maybe it would be better for you if it was though. Because a small scraping sound can be heard for those lucky enough to have keen ears. Whatever is making that sound is coming closer, drawn in by the new arrivals.

Scattered through the underground cells there are skeletons, very old and left in whatever place they fell. Some carried weapons, little good it did them. Finding the exit is not a problem either, but it's locked. A key would need to be found in order for escape to be possible, and hopefully found before you met the same fate as the unfortunate souls before you.

"My Knight?" Naomi was a woman's name for goodness sake's. Why would Rosaline think she was her Knight? "Of course not. She's my bodyguard."

And she was Natasha's best friend. Probably in the whole world.

"Are any of them good at getting people out of cells?" Rosaline will be welcome to cut her off at any point, but if she doesn't, Natasha will actually start yelling.

"HEY. CAN SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF HERE???"

What rule said that a woman could not be a knight as well? Certainly the Lady Morgana was as talented a fighter, and from the tales told to Rosaline, Morgana's sister had been even more so qualified to hold that title.

Of course, that is all knowledge that Rosaline would have shared, had she not been frightened into a very reflexive mindset. As soon as the yelling starts, the girl squeaks again. This time much different, and very much like the sound of a small animal.

For that is what she's turned into.

The squirrel backs away from the loud one, backs away quickly.

What the.

"DID YOU HONESTLY JUST TURN INTO A SQUIRREL?!?"

Once her volume was already up, getting it back down needed conscious decision making, which Natasha was not doing at the moment.

Oh my god. Was she going crazy?

Yeah. Nope.

Rosaline was scurrying out of there as fast as her tiny legs could take her. Which was actually quite fast. Considering.

But she would try to remember to send help.

She would try.
