It was close to closing time, the weather was atrocious the sound of the wind blowing though the trees could be heard though the thin walls of the creaky old wooden tavern. The freezing rain battering the windows seemingly trying to get through. Rhea has worked here for over three years, her family has owned this tavern for many decades hence why it's falling apart. Rhea sighs as she pats the bar area "you could use a bit of fixing up, couldn't you gal." she grins as she picks up empty wooden tankards, taking them into the back to be washed by the cleaning fairies. As she walks back to the main area to finish her clean up, a dazzlingly beautiful dark skinned girl with gloriously silky, obsidian black hair down to her shoulders stumbles in. she's soaked right though to the bone. the girl walks over to Rhea only managing to say one inaudible word before collapsing into a wet heap on to the tavern woodwork flooring. Rhea gasps quickly rushing to the girls aid.
The dark hair girl wakes up with a start. she looks around at the room to see pictures of a happy family, one girl in particular stands out as she notices its the young women from the night before, all of the people on said photo have piercingly gold eyes that reflect the sun light beautifully. her face twists into an implacable emotion, This was the girl she was looking for... she finally found her, this is her chance to complete her dream, it may take a while though but she's not going to give up especially after waiting this long...
The door creaks open, a short girl with bouncy golden blonde hair that goes right down to her lower back appears with a wooden tray, on it a plate of fried quail eggs, roasted slices of wild pixie hog and steamed mushrooms, a glass of orange juice and a little flower in a tankard. Rhea sets the tray on the bed side table turning to face the girl laying in the cotton white sheets, delicately placed on the hemlock bed frame. she speaks softly "how are you feeling? you've got a pretty high temperature, you must've been out there for ages. if you don't mind me asking what where you doing just wondering around that late, this town isn't the safest at night" she tilts her head and smiles.
the dark skinned girl smiles "don't you worry about that, just got a little lost. might I ask the name of this dashing young goddess I have standing before me?" Rhea blushes replying with "oh.. my names Rhea. how about yours?"
The girls smile turns into a wicked grin as she forcefully spits out:-
"nice too meet you Rhea, my names Jela"
