Fair.

Aella, Timon and Claire continued their march towards Koob, night was starting to take hold but they didn’t want to stop when their goal was so close.

“And what do we have here?” A woman’s voice came from behind the three, they turned sharply to see a woman with a long fringe almost as tall as she was and a flute, she had a familiar bracelet on her right wrist.

“you’re… the town that burnt down you and Ignis!” Timon recognised her immediately.

“Oh? You saw that did you boy? You were lucky to have done that and gotten away alive.”

“Where did you come from?” Aella asked nervously.

“really dear, that is not the most important question to you right now, you should be asking yourselves ‘is this lady going to kill us?’ I’m well aware you both have bracelets, and the short one also has something that could benefit me.” Cadence smiled at Claire, who took a step back.

“really children, I can see you don’t want to dance with me yet, and I am only in the mood to dance with willing partners. I just saw you passing by and thought I’d introduce myself.”

“you aren’t going to kill us?” Aella asked.

“I might, but not today.” Cadence smiled again, eyeing Aella. Aella looked at Cadence’s bracelet,

“you have 3 beads lit up…”

“you know what that means don’t you?” Cadence held up the bracelet so the three could see clearly. “for each of those I’ve killed a warrior, its a long way to go to get all 26, but not a bad start.”

Cadence relaxed a bit.

“Well anyway, I have places to be and people to see, and you just aren’t my priority now kids, ta-taa!”

At that cadence swung her flute quickly, it made a high pitched whistle as she vanished.

“she seemed much cooler the first time I met her” Timon said.

“I think we should hurry to Koob now” Aella didn’t want any more encounters.

The three ran the rest of the way.
