Queenie
Queen of Everything
"Hold on Rovan," Lola started, but was too late, he had already knocked. She had been eying him closely while he carried the package and though she suspected something was wrong and he was hiding it, she hadn't confronted him.
She kept her voice low and spoke quickly. "Haven't any of you thought about the strange things those women said? I had considered they were fooling around; angry to be denied our business. Still, the way they spoke was odd, in unison like that. Some kind of prediction or...? I'm not sure. I have pondered, they could not have been speaking of us, as far as I know we're all stuck in poverty just about as low as can be so it's certainly not in the past."
Her eyes darted warily up to the gargoyles that silently guarded the door, her distrust of this situation obvious. "This is a supposed sorcerer we're dealing with and maybe that all was a trick of his to make sure we returned this package to him. But aren't any of you curious as to what is inside it? Perhaps it's a rare treasure worth a lot more than this magician is willing to pay us for. Or, more importantly, like the women mentioned, what might our fate be once we do this? What we are getting ourselves into? This is not simply delivering a box of rats on a stick."
