| Life had pretty much return to normal. I was back to my same old routines, play the humble shop girl in town by day, rob the fatcats of their riches by night. Life was pretty damn alright for me these days. Until a former customer from years ago sought me out in a small seaside village. I had once acquired a rather hefty treasure for him, and gain a nicely sized boon for my troubles. Now someone had helped themselves to the better part of this very same treasure, of course I have absolutely no idea who would do something like that, much less who even knew he was in possession of the bounty to begin with :), and he was understandably upset at his sudden bad luck and failed security. Little did he know that his security had done their job almost perfectly, they were uncomfortably close to catching the culprit red handed, would have had her were there not a number of shadows close by. I met with him, after some minor soul searching, and eventually agreed to seek out his treasure and return it to him, for twice the original boon I might add. The only problem with taking this particular job was the fact that the man now in possession of the treasure had one of the tightest security plans I had ever seen. He even had two guards in the room with the treasure at all times. This would be no simple sneak and grab job. This one would force me to bring in backup.
Now it is never a good idea to build a large team up to do a discreet job. Plus the more people you have, the more ways the payment gets split. There was only one person in all the world I could trust and rely on enough to make this a two person job. If he wouldn't agree to help me then I would be forced to bring at least three outsiders... possibly as much as five... to watch my back and take care of business like he alone could. So that is what brings me back to Mandira so soon after my last visit. I hadn't planned on coming back quite this soon, figured at least another moon or two would go by before I graced the settlement with my presence. But desperate times call for desperate measures. My client was expecting his treasure back in his vault by the night of the next full moon. That left me only a week and change to make it happen, another reason why I needed my only friend and confidant at my back to pull this off.
Upon entering the village, I waste no time with idle greetings and head straight for the first of a few places he was most likely to be at this time of the day. | |

| Around the time of her arrival, it is later in the afternoon, so I am at the Command Center right now with my tirega, Khan, wrestling with him in my feral form. Two of my maidens are in the room with us while guardians are posted at the door. Khan pounces on me and I flip him over to force him to recover and come back for another attack. He does just that and after I push him back, I give him a hug and pet him on the head to congratulate him. I walk over to a private room attached to my personal study while the girls feed Khan a snack. Inside the room, I place my hand on the Orb to Lucia. I transmit my thoughts to her that I believe that I am close to finding a way to free her from the orb. "I have heard a few rumors that might pan out so once the campaign is over, I will see to the matter myself and find a way to help you. As I promised you, you will be free." I close my eyes and she tells me that I am losing my darkness. I nod to the orb and I tell her that my darkness does not feel real to me. I tell her about my hallucinations and visions and dreams. She tells not to fear them, but to accept them and the change that is happening, but that I have to control it or it will control me. I smile at the orb and tell her that I will try my best. With Lucia, I can give voice to my worries and have someone who understands to give advice and guidance on matters. I think this is why I am working so hard to find the way to free her. If this Shayde rumor is true, then I will be able to set her free finally.
Do is at the Prison Compound training some of the newer recruits. Dainos is in his lab with his kids testing out new recipes. Kiera is at the Hospital training new healers to use healing magic and teaching non healers about ambrosia.

| My first stop would be the prison complex but it would only take one simple question to the guards at the front to let me know the man I sought wasn't here. Next would be the lab. Since I usually found him at one of the two, I figured I would either find him here or at the very least find someone who knew where he was right now. The sprite should know, he always seemed to have a handle of where his Master was. I wasn't too keen on being back in the lab, my nerves were evident in the slight sweating of my palms as I walked down the hall to the door I would find the scientist behind. Since I didn't have time to take part in any experiments today I really didn't need to worry about it, but there was still some hesitation when it came to those interesting bites he offered. Knocking upon the door, because I would never EVER open the door to this particular lab without making sure it was completely safe to do so, I wait for an answer from beyond. Should anyone call out for me to enter or come to open the barrier to allow me in, I would greet the sprite, and any of his lab rats, with a polite smile. | |

| Dainos the Herbalist is indeed in his lab observing the reactions to one of his latest creations. It is a new antidote to several common poisons in this realm. His ambrosia testers have agreed to test this as well since the ambrosia testing has boosted their immune systems heavily. When the knock at the door comes, Dainos tells her to enter. He figured it was a messenger sent by me telling him that I would miss yet another demonstration. Upon seeing that Kali has returned from whatever assignment she went on, he smiles at her and chuckles as his opening statement, "Don't worry. I would never test this on you. I had to poison them first and while you are part spirit, I don't have full understanding of your biology and physiology yet. How are you?"
Over at the command center, there is a knock at my private chamber. "Yaksa, you told Master Dainos that you would come over and see his latest creations and demonstrations. You have canceled three times already this month, so perhaps, we should go this time." I grin and look at the shrine with the floating orb. "It would seem that I must go, Lucia. Yes, yes, I'm not going to cancel again. You're not supposed to side with them, you know. We will take more later."
I appear out in the study and nod to the two leather clad women. "Let's go. Khan, feel free to attack anyone who comes in without permission." The male tirega nods to me and I grin. I tell the guards that I don't suggest letting anyone inside while I am gone. They nod and we head over to the sprite's lab located inside of the prison compound.
