Interlude Two

Map: Outside Lilith's Castle

The Owl glided through the air, flying just above the grass, scanning the world as it passed it. It quickly rose above a village, then dropped back down to the ground once it passed the inconvenience, beginning entering the last leg of the circuit it flew around the stone forts' mote. It soon landed next to it's master, who sat high in a tree looking over maps.

She had braided chestnut hair that showed itself from below her white and gold mages robe. She kicked her booted legs childishly as her red eyes scanned the map drawn into a large sketchbook she held one final time before she closed it and placed it into the leather suitcase leaning on the trees trunk before stretching. "So," She began, watching as stumbling humanoids, "We've never been here before," She waved her hand, her eyes turning ocean blue as the earth parted and dragged the monsters below her down, before returning to normal, "There's a fort, and a small village." She sighed, "But the Invaders got here before us…"

The Owl stared at it's master, speaking in a way only she would here. "Agreed," She nodded, stretching. She soon lost her balance, reaching for the tree trunk, but finding her belongings instead, bringing them with her as she fell.

The bird landed next to her, "Hecate, I don't need your negativity in my life." She pushed herself to her feet, pulling her case onto her back.

The stared at the fort, and began for the bridge like rocks scattered through the shallowest part of the mote. She took a deep breath, "I'll check who they are, and then I'll make sure Invaders can't get into their home, then I'll map this area." Her foot hovered over the first rock, splashes of water dampening her well worn boots.

She sighed and took a few steps back, "I should restock in town first, they mightn't appreciate a random in their fort anyways."

The Owl flew onto her shoulder, preening it's feathers. She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, I am scared. They have an entire fort, it's at least a small army."

The Owl bit her ear, making her yelp, "Uncalled for! And I am not lying, thank you very much!" Her voice morphed into one with a strange accent. She cleared her throat, "Shut your trap," Her voice was back to normal, "I am the one in charge."
