[Selene The Moonlit Beauty.]
[Third Person. POV.]
As Selene stepped through the portal into the new world, she found herself in an otherworldly landscape unlike anything she had ever seen before.
The world seemed to be made of an energy that was totally foreign to hers.
The air crackled with this energy, and the very ground beneath her feet seemed to pulse with power. Her silver eyes widened with wonder and excitement as she took in the strange and magnificent sights around her.
It seemed the world was... a few thousand years behind her in terms of technological advancement, but other than that, she found little to no difference in appearance.
Well, there was the fact that the entire world's population seemed to be in a single place.
Selene glared at him, her silver eyes burning with defiance even in her weakened state. "You'll regret this," she managed to choke out, her voice strained but determined, as blood poured out of her eyes, ears and mouth.
The man's smile remained intact. "Wonderful! Your resilience will provide valuable data for my research."
He approached her slowly, his eyes never leaving her form. Selene gritted her teeth, her mind racing for a way to counter the effects of the drug, but her weakened body betrayed her efforts.
As the man reached out to touch her, Selene summoned a last surge of strength and lashed out with a wave of dark energy. But the attack was feeble, barely a fraction of her true power, and Mayuri effortlessly dodged it.
"Such a futile attempt," he remarked, seemingly amused by Selene's defiance. "It seems your attacks lack any... spiritual qualities, how... strange."
Despite her weakened state, Selene refused to back down. "This... isn't... over," she gasped, her voice determined.
The man chuckled darkly. "Hm, it seems your species are below average in terms of intelligence. Not that it matters, I'm more interested in experimenting in your body, than with your intellectual prowess."
Selene's eyes narrowed, her mind racing for a way to break free from this predicament. "I won't be your guinea pig," she spat, trying to stand but faltering.
The man tilted his head, intrigued by her defiance. "My, it seems you are even dumber than I had concluded. Don't you realize you are already my guinea pig, willingly or not. And as such, you will provide me with invaluable data."
Selene's strength was waning, and her vision blurred, but she clung to her determination, refusing to surrender. However, it seemed that the man's drug had taken a toll on her, leaving her powerless and at his mercy.
"Now, let's get to know each other, shall we?" The man stated coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion. "Rest assured, my drug's effects are only temporary. You will recover soon enough, after all, I need you to be in top condition to run the tests I want."
As the world around her darkened, Selene could do nothing but watch helplessly as the man's form faded from her view. She was filled with frustration and anger, but also a sense of dread she hadn't experienced in a while.
Just now realizing, just how big of a mistake this plan of hers had been.
All it had taken this new world to defeat her, was a single man, in a few minutes time.
