Outcasts, I Choose You!

[Kender Bard]

The next morning saw the gathered Outcasts rousing themselves. Most abstained from any breakfast but a few decided to indulge. The majority of the morning was spent preparing for the battle to come.

Terza ignored it--this was something Karau would be interested in, not her. Instead she pulled Die aside and the woman from the night before. "Do you even have a name?" she asked her.

"Wun," she answered.

"Charming," Terza replied. "Well Wun, I have a use for you and it's for a plan that you will find deliciously inspired, Die. I am going to give Wun these--" and from seemingly nowhere she produced two black iron wrist braces. "And they will protect her from most harm. She's going to be my engraved invitation. One that says, 'For the power to rule Morilanta, please follow the pretty wild woman back to the Lady Blue.' Think you can memorize that, girlie?"

Wun nodded, her eyes wide and round with focus.

Die held about as much interest as Terza in the battle preparations at hand. It had been fortuitous indeed that Karau had made him arrange for the ice demon's summoning. He'd probably be in some sort of war camp and bored to tears otherwise. Well. Maybe. He might have decided to wander off on his own instead if things had gotten too monotonous. That wasn't the case with Lady Blue, though.

"Oh, yes," Die said, grinning widely. "That'll pique curiosity for certain." Hm. Curiosity. What had become of the priest of Soahc that he'd taken with him in the beginning? Dead by some demon? Changed? Or had he added him to the sacrifices? He really couldn't remember. Ah well.

"The question that remains is what you and I will do with ourselves," Terza told Die. "I'm content to linger behind, find a good place to watch, and just enjoy the show. But if you wished to go into the city, I want to go with you. So I suppose I leave this one up to you."
