Phaedra was used to there being a lot of people in the Market, of having them shout at you with news of their wares, or press in against you as they bustled their way through the crowd. Tall people, short people, halflings, fae, elves, dwarves, humans drunk under the spell of magic. She didn't...

As the sun sets, You shall take your true form... Phaedra gave a soft gasp as the fiery feathers of a phoenix gave way to limbs that were far less alien. It wasn't a painful transformation per see but it was a shock to the body to go from something so small as her natural body to that of a...

Phaedra kept her face completely blank. She had been living in The Observatory for long enough to know that information always came with a price. She was just lucky that this time it was someone else who wanted it from her, giving her that edge. She kept her eyes strictly on the wolf and not the...

Phaedra issued a few choice words that, even though they were said in her own language, would have made a sailor blush and probably offer to scrub her mouth out for her. Warily she picked herself off the floor and rubbed at the forming bruise on her hip then rewarded the wolf for their quick...

Even Phaedra screamed this time. It all happened so suddenly. She had been about to turn around and reprimand the girl quite firmly and remind her that they had no idea who these soldiers were when the wolf had picked them up like they weighed nothing more than two feathers. But it was the...

Phaedra hesitated. Follow the wolf or use this at their opportunity to get away? He could have as easily grabbed the girl and run just now but instead he was attempting to lead them somewhere else. It could be a trap of course. A very elaborate one but it could be. The screaming was dying down...

Phaedra let out a curse and threw the girl boldly into the trees. "Run!" the girl didn't need telling twice. The instinct she had been fighting the whole time overtook everything else and she fled further into the swamp. Phaedra was hot on her heels but not before she turned and launched one of...

Phaedra took a step back as the wolf took one forward. It reminded her rather suddenly of a game she had played as a child. One person would stand at the end of the alleyway out the back of their terraced houses and act as the wolf. The other children would ask what the time was and proceed to...

"P-please Miss, don't l-let that... I don't want to go with him," she sobbed. Phaedra suppressed a sigh and the girl clung even tighter to her blouse. She had no intentions of giving the girl up but the begging was trying her patience a little. She really did hope that her gifts were worth the...

Sunrise... she just had to last until sunrise. "I presume," Phaedra drawled and her fingers ran down the girls hair in a soothing manner. "For tah same reasons yer boss wan's 'er, ey?" her head cocked to the side and a lazy smile crawled its way towards her eyes. It was quite clear there...

The girl nearly fainted and Phaedra rolled her eyes. They were always so dramatic. She hurled the useless body over her shoulder and sauntered into the opening as though she didn't have a care in the world, her fingers delving into the bag to close around another trick. "Ay don tink ay will...

"S-s-stop! My parents-" "Yer parents are ded child," Phaedra said bluntly. She paused at the bluntness in her tone and then sighed and stopped their sprint through the swamp. She whirled on the girl and crouched in front of her, cupping her cheeks. "Listen to me gurl, an' listen good. We just...

It was like trying to heard chickens. The family were paralysed by fear and getting them to stumble backwards was as much as Phaedra was able to manage. She gave several choice, hushed curse words that made the mother break her deer-like stance for just a moment. Really? T'at is what yer most...

"Aye I ca--" All conversation stopped as the swamp beneath their feet began to move even more treacherously than it had been a moment ago. The splintering sound of the trees turned their heads in the right direction not that they needed it. The wolf filled their vision as soon as they looked...

The soldier posing as a servant slowly put his sword back into his scabbard and hid it beneath his cloak. Very clever, she thought to herself, as the rest of the family melted out of the shadows. Her eyes flickered over the other servant but she didn't spy any weapons on him and from his posture...
