[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 7547255, member: 4936"] On seeing the busy market square, Arcata relaxed a little. Finding Gravesford so quiet had given her nightmarish visions of the aftermath of a calamity, an attack maybe, with piles of bodies tucked away out of sight leaving the town virtually empty. But no, there were no plumes of smoke rising from burning husks of buildings. No blood or scuffing on the ground, nor bodies strewn about like a giant child had tired of its dolls and left them where they'd fallen. No weeping, or screaming, or whimpering. No smell of copper in the air. It was just Gravesford, as it had been when she'd left. Bigger, maybe, a little. Bigger but fundamentally the same. She was in time. It was a relief, but it also meant the pressure was on. The omens had been clear. A cloud hung over Gravesford. A stormcloud bristling with thunderbolts. The devastation would start slow, but the end would come swiftly once it started. Well. Clear was a relative thing for divinations and omens. She still had little idea from where the danger would come, or what form it would take. Until she had a better idea, Arcata felt it best to keep a low profile. She tugged the red velvet hood of her cloak down a bit and shifted her shoulders under it, glad she'd avoided the robe so traditionally associated with a wizard and instead wore a more mundane...if still high quality...dress of fine-spun cotton and silk, the hem low enough to only let the toes of her walking boots show from under the skirt. No staff either, just the dagger at her belt. She'd go back home presently, but perhaps just look around a bit first...get a sense of goings-on. The sight of children playing brought a smile to her lips...a smile that turned somewhat confused on seeing the mage joining in. Arcata was sure she didn't recognize the woman, and it was doubtful she'd have forgotten a fellow wizard. It's not like there were a lot near Gravesford. A relative newcomer then. She found herself idly wondering what this wizard-merchant sold, and how big a market she found for it. Perhaps there'd be time to ask soon. Carefully avoiding the bulk of the marketplace, Arcata moved into Gravesford, hoping to find some hint as to the coming storm...hoping to avoid being recognized as she did so. [/QUOTE]
