Inari steps through the Portal and the Nighthawks come to attention. She seems none the worse for wear… then a human follows her.
Uh-oh… this can't be good….
"Lady Inari," I say. "Is it wise to admit a mortal to the realm of Faerie, and to the Unformed Plane, no less?"
"The man is human, Captain Torin, but I wouldn't exactly use the term 'mortal' to describe him. In any case, he is here at my invitation, thus he is due all the courtesy any guest of mine is due."
"As you wish, Ambassador."
"Bloodmane has killed again, Captain. There will doubtless be others coming through at any time to pursue her. This time she will not escape."
"I and my men are at your disposal, milady."
