Re: Prelude – Skyway City
Ishmael turns to face Shirok squarely, and for the first time the druid senses true sentience within the automation. Perhaps there is more to the sorceress’s guardian than meets the eye?
“The Wayfarer’s Map,” he replies frankly, referring to the gilded case. “Whenever you are in an area previously traveled by the original Wanderer, or one of his disciples, seal the map within the case for one day. When you remove the parchment, you will find the map has been augmented to fit your navigational needs.”
He shakes his head at Ilsa’s gift. “I recall that necklace was once owned by an apprentice of Kaele’s; but she has since passed. Whatever magical enchantment graces such a fine piece of jewelry was never made known to me—nor was it my place to ask.”
Kaele considers Stan’s subtle gesture requesting privacy, but decides to tred on the side of caution. She shakes her head, an uncharacteristically grim expression painting her face. She likewise shifts her weight, and stands holding a wand before her; but Stan can see that her demeanor is that of defense. It is clear Kaele does not trust Clementine.
The succubus’s brow furrows at Stan’s words, but then her eyes quickly glaze over with apathy. The change might have been easily overlooked by any other inquisitor, but not by the demon’s husband. He could tell she wasn’t acting like she wanted to—that she was playing into some kind of role. Perhaps Kaele’s presence was the cause of her strange behavior?
“I don’t believe you went through all the trouble of summoning me here just to check up on me,” she finally retorts in a pouty voice. “You want something. Do not fret master, as you know I’m not above playing games either,” she says, winking at the young mage. “So, what will it be? Do you want her to dominate me, or perhaps something else master?” she asks with a laugh.
