SHADOWS START TO SING

The woman was not far behind Rune, having wanted to speak with him of her children, of her fate, and the fate of her brother within Secretua. She wanted to also thank him, to let him know that his kindness was truly appreciated, and all he had done for her would be repayed in nothing short of the purest loyalty. Akemi was alone at the moment and it seemed that was best for the moment. For as the woman neared The Guardian she heard another voice, and single eye would fall on the face a scarred woman.

A fire sparked within. She was not afraid of this female, nor of fighting. Her own body bore signs of loss -- lack of ears, a right eye, a tail, and facial scaring of her own. The tiny creature didn't care how big the foe, didn't care how the odds were. Her lip would lift in a snarl and Akemi would move to stand near Rune, lifting her head.

"Then I will personally make you leave, wretch. These lands belong to Rune, so clean the gunk out of your damn ears and heed his words. Leave this place and never return." Lightning flashed in her single remaining red orb. If it was a fight this woman wanted... Akemi would gladly spill it and her own to defend this place.
