A woman in a black dress landed in a forest gracefully, a golden like aura surrounded her. 'Phoenix has been taken care of. my next duty was to test the senshi of the eagle.' She mentally told herself.
Noise could be heard not far from where she stood, and two children poked around a tree, "Someone new?" They smiled. They soon were running in the direction they had come from. The woman took this as a sign and let the dress fade and appeared in normal clothing. Black pants and a white button up top. Her long auburn hair fell loosely over her shoulders and her milky black eyes, turned a dulled blackish grey.
The woman began walking where the children had run off, after a few moments a small village appeared in view, as well as the children returning with another person.
"There she is," One pointed out for what could now be seen was a young man. "We told you."
"Stay her," He put his hand out to prevent the child from going any further and walked up the woman.
"Who are you?" he asked critically. "Where did you come from?"
The woman smiled, a discomforting smile, "My name is Suki Cho and I was wondering if you had a place I could stay for a little while."
"We don't like foreigners here."
"That's too bad." Suki continued walking forward. "I'll find somewhere to stay with or without your help."
The man looked at her, as she walked away, "It's not me. It's the others, they never welcomed others. I could help you out if you want."
Suki glanced back at him and paused, before continuing, "I just want a place to stay."
The man ran to catch up with her, "The name's Dorian Chike by the way. There isn't really any places to stay here but I can set you something up at my house, if you don't mind."
"This village is close to the main city, where the palace is right?" She asked.
"Yeah, it is. Why do you want to know?"
Suki remained silent and continued walking. As they passed the children Dorian told them to go home.

Dorian and Suki were now inside his small shack like house. It was one floor, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and a few closets. Dorian was making up a bed on the couch, while Suki was checking out the area around her.
"I'll sleep on the couch. You can take my bed. I don't mind." Dorian smiled, pointing to a door down the hall.
"Thank you," She said solemnly as she walked down the tiny hall and walked inside, closing the door immediately after her. "Please leave me alone for the next little while." She called through the door.
A light covered her body and a long elegant black dress covered her body. Her eyes returning to there milky black. She suddenly disappeared from the room, appearing on a hillside , north of the village, on the path to the great palace.
