Another evening at the quicksand. The usual rabble about. Sultansworn that are off-duty enjoying a pint or two, the passerby common folk and adventurers telling their tales of their daily life, but Inessa sat in the corner by herself, with a steaming cup of coffee, the daily issue of the tonberry and a letter.
The newspaper was neatly folded as if it were yet to be broken into and the cup of coffee next to it. She played around with the letter for a bit, before biting the edge of the envelope and tearing the top of it off. Pulling out a letter, she read it as it was written, though she yawned over the boring part's. The sister's of the Red Lotus or whatever, it sounded like a strange name at first and she would need to look into it later when she wasnt working or she had the opportunity to do so.
Just before Inessa tossed her letter, she pulled out a small gemstone on it. It was red. Blood Red, with the carving of a shield on it. Strangely, Inessa could feel the faintest flow of Dark Aether coming from the stone.
'whatever this is, it's obviously an artifact of some sort. I wonder if it could power up my void magic.'Â Â Inessa thought to herself as she glanced at the stone, before pocketing it. Inessa was all for investigating the cause of this item's power, but only at a later date. She would need to get through her current work, which was searching for this one woman's fiance or some such. Inessa would deeply sigh, before taking a sip from her cup of coffee and breaking into her tonberry newspaper.
