[QUOTE="mfloyd3, post: 5951247, member: 23867"] Kara eyes the creature. Though she has never seen one before, there is something familiar about it. It reminded her of one of the specimens she had seen in her mother's chambers at the university. [sblock=Flashback] The walls were lined with glass jars full of bizarre creatures. There were all manner of things, from pale- skinned reptilian creatures to blue-furred cat-things. But somehow it was always their eyes that had struck Kara. They would drift lazily in their jars, seemingly lost, then there would be an instant when all eyes were pointed in the same direction, focused on some byplay. Others had told her they found the effect chilling. Kara was not sure what chilling meant. "I'm going," she repeated, putting the crossbow across her back. Her mother had always insisted she keep her weapons in the locked cabinet with her tools. She had always regarded them as such. "The goblins have the staff, and I am going to get it back." "But the university is your home," her mother looked at her over her spectacles, the picture of the concerned professor. "The university is your home." "Is it?" asked Kara. "We both know I don't have the mind for wizardry. So tell me, when you say I belong here, do you mean I belong there?" She gestured to the shelves on the wall. Mena Proudfoot seemed taken aback, for once at a loss for words. "Kara, I didn't...I don't..." Her daughter stepped forward and put her hand on her shoulder. "Mother," she said gently. "I know you wanted to study...my nature. And I know you never loved me any less for that. But you're looking for a reason behind my gifts. I need a purpose for them. And I need to prove to myself that they are gifts." Wordlessly, the pair embraced. Kara made her way out. Behind her, the denizens of the wall lost interest. [/sblock] At Balthasar's words, Kara withdrew her hand from the crossbow she had been preparing to draw. But she watched the thing uncomfortably all the same. [/QUOTE]
