Exton

The trip back to the tavern was uneventful. Inari and K'thyri visited and got caught up with each other and their families. Weebit on her dragon would join them at times, she had questions for Inari about the healers at court. Inari tried to reassure her as best she could, but her own dealings with the healers only amounted to stitches and a broken bone. Nothing as serious or complex as healing what was left of Weebit's wings.

Leaving their horses in shadow behind the tavern, Weebit hesitates on her dragon. Twill reassures her that no one will mind the small creature in the tavern but he promises to check with the owner to make certain.

K'thyri is the last to enter and her eyes take a moment to adjust to the dim light of the tavern. It seems busy, many of the tables are full and the waitresses are running back and forth. She never felt overly comfortable in the human realm, but Inari has assured her that there are more supernaturals and people from other realms here than humans. She feels someone watching her, paying more than casual interest at a newcomer. Ky's eyes scan the crowd and she sees a woman looking at her. A beautiful woman, and a warrior. Her emerald green eyes dont flinch even when Ky looks right at her, challenging her to look away. Neither she nor Inari glamored their ears, not that Ky would have, she generally doesnt care what people think of her or her ears.

Then Inari is pulling her along, saying she wants her to meet someone.

Ky is still looking around the room, mistrustful of a situation with so many people she doesnt know. When Inari says "This is Star", she turns to look. Star is looking at her, with a slight smile and a puzzled expression on her face. Ky almost gasps out loud at the sight of Stars eyes changing colors.

“Inari, you didnt tell me... why didnt you say... The Prophecy...” K'thyri shakes her head, and pulls out her sword, laying it at Star's feet as she kneels.

Erik is off the barstool and reaching for his knife when he sees the sword come out, but Raina has a hard grip on his arm. “Inari would not put her in danger. Let Star stand on her own, she needs to learn, especially if any of this is true or comes to pass.”

Erik hesitates but stays standing. He notices several others ready to spring to Stars aid if need be.

“My lady..” Ky stumbles a bit over her words. “I apologize, I did not see your eyes at first and I wasnt told... I give you my sword in your defense...”

Star looks around in confusion as her eyes turn orange. She sees Inari standing close by, but she doesnt know this fae. She is further confused by her ears. What is wrong with her ears? Are they suppose to be like that? Star reaches her hand out, “You ddd..dont have to kneel... please....”

Gazing up into Stars changing eyes K'ythri says, “But I do. You will give birth to the greatest warrior either realm has ever seen. He will save us all from the Darkness...”

Star smiles and pulls Ky up by arm, “I am not even pregnant...”

“But you will be....” Ky says with an impish smile.

Raina has moved to stand behind Star and whispers to her, “Pick up the sword and hand it back to her. I will explain later.”

Ky's eyes widen as she looks into Rainas green eyes. She takes the offered sword from Star, “I am yours my lady, in life and death.”
