Snippet #2395964

The sight of a will'o'wisp was quite a surprise to the insomniac Sylzara, as she sat above the square in a tree while the last of the insomniacs desperately hanged out till sleep won them over. Oh, she knew the queen used them to summon people to her castle but she had never seen any this late at night before. The fact that it seemed to be in quite a hurry only made her frown as she wondered what was so important that haste was needed.

Sylzara sighed and looked around at the square. It was nearly 3:00 in the morning, a fact illustrated by the large clock in the square, and a time that Sylzara loved because it was a time when the square was all but empty till the morning sun. It was then that she didn't have to hide herself from most of the clans sight, and the pitying glances they sent her way, and a time when animals the night animals would start to emerge, for their nights foraging.

Hearing the sound of loud heavy foot falls of someone running Sylzara froze and shrank against a tree till she could not be seen. Warily she peeked out to watch as a tall red-headed girl came running following behind the will'o'wisp the she had seen earlier. The sight of her caused Sylzara to blink.

"Now what could she want with Clara?"

Sylzara had never been introduced to the girl, not really, but she had seen her around the square before and had heard her name called out by her friends and other friendly people. With her height Clara was about half a head taller than Sylzara with red hair and black eyes, though they were hidden within the night. Clara was wearing a silk teal blouse,a tailored gray jacket,cropped black trousers,and belt that had a silver clasp and carried with her a purse.

Sylzara herself was wearing a silk green shirt with dark green trousers, both of which allowed her to move unseen through large crowds, or forests. Blonde hair she had tied behind her into a ponytail so that it framed her face and called to attention her flashing green eyes.

these eyes widened however when a will'o'wisp entered the square again and headed strait for her and the tree she was in, stopping to bounce in front of her when it found her.

"what the?"

Sylzara couldn't figure out why the wisp had stopped in front of her, but it had, and she knew what that meant. Climbing down in the wan light offered by the wisp was no problem to Sylzara as she had made the climb many times. Neither was running after the wisp to arrive at the front of the castle that the queen remained in. Surprise crossed her features when the guard let her in with no challenge.

Walking now, so not to arrive out of breath, she took in the decorations of the castle her eyes wide. However Sylzara quickly arrived at the room all the same to find Clara and the queen there, the queen paler then usual.
