Wiping his brow with a sigh, Jace dropped down onto his stool and looked at the
magnificant sword on the table before him. With a grin he thought out loud, "She should like it.
Its exactly to her specifications." "Well done.", Jace jumped at her voice, "My lady! I have
finished it on time just as you asked." Stepping through the door she came to the table and
looked down at her sword. Reaching down she wrapped her hand around the hilt, stepped back
from the table and gave it a swing. With a smile she laid the blade back on the table, "I trust you
have completed the scabbard as well?" Nodding quickly Jace slid off his stool and headed to the
back of the room, when he returned he was carrying an ornate sheath, the length of it delicately
etched with wards. Taking it gently from him she slid the blade into its place and hooked it on
her belt. "I thank you. This craftsmanship is exactly what I expected from your reputation.",
dropping a bag of gold on the table she turned and walked out into the night leaving the tired
Jace to count his earnings.
Now that she was armed she focused her sight on the dark trail she had been watching.
Long strides carried her quickly towards a quiet section of town, where she halted before a
modest building bearing the sign, Hunt Shoppe. At the door she paused, noticing a clerk behind
the counter. Drawing a breath, she pushes open the door and moves inside. The clerk turned
and flashed her smile, "Welcome to the Hunt Shoppe. How can I help you?" Casting a glance at
the doorway in on of the side walls she headed towards the counter, lowering her hood as she
moved. Phoenix focused her piercing gaze on the young clerk who shrunk back slightly at the
intensity in her eyes, "You might be able to... I'm looking for someone, I don't know who he is
but I can see him in the fae and the taint starts here." The clerk backed up away from her and
the counter, "I don't know what you are talking about!" Just after he spoke, the door she looked
at before opened and in it stood a tall man with dark hair and dark grey eyes that narrowed
seeing his clerks reaction to the woman. Phoenix turned and focused her own deep emerald
eyes upon him and waited for him to speak. When he did his tone was a mixture of confusion
and amusement, "What have you done to scare my help so badly miss? A dark smile played
across her lips, this man was the one she sought. The tainted fae swirled around him, leaving no
room for question, "I simply asked him where I could find someone and it turns out the one I've
been looking for is you."
