Lisa got to her room and laid her head on her pillow after taking a quick wash. She could only hopelessly look out the window as the sun shone in her room. She was tired and wanted to sleep but couldn’t. Not because she killed a couple of rapists. She was actually happy she could do it in a legal method. Not even she could stage the scene like the one they found themselves in, and the importance of otherworlders right now makes corruption influencing investigations a very tricky matter. As they are more important than the cast off of some noble.

  The reason why Lisa could not sleep was she was feeling extremely excited. Not only could she not go to a place for it because she was next to broke, but she really did not want to spend the night with a random stranger again. It took her over an hour before she dozed off to sleep. She soon found herself back in the guild sitting at the table with maps but they were not talking about them.

  Lisa considered trying to finish her dream before giving up and going for another wash before ordering her sheets ckeab before her return. This was not natural for her, especially after taking an aphrodisiac cleansing potion, which should have killed her libido for a full day. Seeing as her issue is not alchemical she decided to go to the one place she really did not want to, but it will give her a guarantee if the answer she is fearing is the correct one or not.

  With it shortly after noon, Lisa walked into the slums of the capitol. She remembered working hard and barely surviving to escape this hellhole. And now she was back and she felt disgusted for it. It did not take her long to find the building she was looking for being guarded by two ursa-type beastkin. When they tried to stop her she merely punched them both in the face before they dropped to their knees before the ground out cold.

  “ That was completely unnecessary you know.”

  You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

  Lisa entered the building to find a deer beastkin sitting on some pillows while smoking a pipe, her looks alone told you she was old.

  “ Elder Tola, I am in a mood and want to know why.”

  The elder chuckled to this and took a pamphlet from a pile of them and tossed it to her. On the cover was a shining full red moon.

  “ Screw me.”

  “ I am sorry my dear, but my years of doing that are past me. In about a month the red moon will rise and you are of age.”

  Lisa put the pamphlet in her pouch and dug out the last of her coin and tossed it to the elderly deerkin. Then she left.

  Elder Tona watched the pantherkin leave after tossing her a few coins. In truth, she expected a silver piece at most, so the information was much more valuable to her than she guessed if she parted with most if not all the money she had. This told her many things. A moment later a ratkin that works at the guild enters and hands her a report of the goings on and she read it before crumpling it up in annoyance.

  “ That old scaly bastard is starting a purge. Has any of our people been hit?”

  “ Only two so far. It appears he is starting with the worst cases first.”

  Tona spit on the document before throwing it in the nearby hearth. As she watched the paper go up in smoke an idea came to her.

  “ Tell me of any special cases that have appeared recently, the bigger the better.”

  This caused the ratkin to pause a moment and sigh.

  “ The biggest and highest profile, an otherworlder called the Cardmancer put up a job to grind to forty. I do not have all the details, but word is he is one of the big serious players that came out of their club house. All signs point to him making a real push past the wall.”

  Tona strokes her chin hearing about this before coming up with the bones of a plan.

  “ Get me all the details you can on this Cardmancer and those he is affiliated with. After the effects of the red moon start to wane we shall leave for the meeting of elders. I want to have a solid plan formed by the time we get there. And keep me up to date on Milisa as well. She might be key to finding ourself a new chieftain.”
