Say it ain't so

Kali’s week long trip to Auster had been just what the doctor had ordered, leaving her to lounge about on warm, sandy beaches and lap up coconut water like the true princess she was. However, she knew that, sadly, she wouldn’t be able to stay there forever, lest her mother send out a search party for her...maybe. Really she’d have to be gone for much longer for the pale woman to become worried, but she liked to think she was important enough to warrant the quick concern from the Habari Seraphim. Thus, she’d arrived late in the evening, beneath the oddly colored full moon that never seemed to wane. The first thing she noticed was the strange scent lingering on her mother’s markers, the same sweet scent she’d smelled on her Great Aunt Deathbelle.

Oh hell no.

A frown immediately marred her maw and she went to search out Recluse, sure that the matriarch would be up due to her nocturnal schedule. She raced through the barren Redbud trees, the glowing blue fireflies that mysteriously floated in the air flying past before, finally, she saw her Mother’s outline. She slowed, snapping her teeth at a bat with peculiar purple eyes that flew too close, before she greeted her. “Mom, I’m back. Did I miss something?” she asked, brows rising above her bi-colored gave. Certainly she would know what she was talking about.
