Xander approached the deity with cautious steps, his gaze never wavering from her slender, feminine form. When he was close enough, the room brightened, allowing him to see her clearly this time.
The deity floating before him was seated atop a red nine-tailed fox whose body was engulfed in a strange black miasma that made it difficult to observe its finer features. The deity herself had a matt black complexion, with bright blue eyes that stared intently at Xander. She was clothed in a blue silk gown decorated with lacy frills which danced in the mellow breeze.
Every time the deity's piercing gaze brightened, ornate runic symbols flashed on her skin, decking her in golden hues. In her left hand, she carried an hourglass, while her left held an iron sickle.
