Sari's Return

[Jonel]

Slipping through the shadows of the ruined buildings around the crater left by the now floating city she finds a suitable area hidden from sight by all but the rats. Slipping from the shadows she pulls a small disk-like talisman, with the symbol of a black gauntlet fist emblazoned on both sides. Gripping the talisman in her small hands she closes her eyes and clears her mind letting the magic of the small talisman take effect. An icy grip encases her hands and begins to slowly spread down her arms and to the rest of her body, causing her to shiver, yet smile behind her mask. As the chill finally reaches every inch of her body she fades off the physical plain, her mind going blank.

Slowly fading back onto the physical plain, she appears in a dark room with sparse candle light and some light from various portal-door ways. Shaking the last remnants of the chill from her body she walks to the only door leading out of the portal room. As she opens the door two pairs of light pin her with penetrating stares, the skeletal owners showing no other movement. Calmly she lifts her talisman for them, ensuring that she held it by the thong of leather she kept it on. After a few moments the pair snap forward again seeming to ignore her presence.

Before entering the large darkened hall she removes the mask covering her face revealing a rose and vines covering her left cheek and a small smile on her lips. Moving forward she talks to herself in low tones.

"Maybe they need someone killed."
