Vinsue walked through her cave in her human form, dressed in her brown robe with its hood down reviling her short white hair. The cave itself was well lit with fire that lined the walls from oil and saliva. Her treasure gleaming in the red light. Aqua, her black and white hatchling, was playing with a rat. Both aqua and the rat sliding on gold coins and other treasures in the room.

Vinsue stood watching the two. Both the hatchling and the rat where about a foot long. the two jumping and biting, the rat fighting to live the dragon looking for food. A smile showed as the metallic smell of blood filled the air. soon her hatchling carried off the rat. The rat now her hatchlings first kill. Vinsue left the room. the fire went out as she did and soon she had her pack on with the stuff she will need for the next day or two. her sword sheathed and strapped to the double belt. She than left the cave and started walking towards the city of pirates as she had done for weeks now. the mist of early morning was cold but she was use to it.

A large, white wolf was lurking about the woods by himself; icy eyes sought around his surroundings leisurely. It might have been an odd scene to watch since wolves were pack creatures. But there was a particular reason why this one was a loner. He trekked about nearly silent like a specter with no determined destination in sight and had done so for quite a while.

The lupine was out here to view the world with his own eyes, and to see what could bring about entertainment for him today. Of course, if he couldn’t end any, then he’d have no problem creating it himself. Though that option would be less fun for the others around, not that any were spotted. Weaving through the brushes and passing by the thicket of trees, the beast picked up on a scent that was remotely familiar to him. Having dealt with a good deal of people he came across, he couldn’t quite recall who’s scent it was, but it belonged to someone recently. Oh, it would do his heart well to find out who it was as he sniffed the air and started to follow the trail. He knew he could leave an impression of his guests, in one sense or another, and seeing had become of this visitor would do his heart well. By the time he reached the source of the scent, he stood and looked at the woman in front of him for a moment or two before a smile carved up his wolfish maw. “Well, hello there, treasure seeker. Find any more lovely necklaces lately… “, he called out subtly. 

She turned at the sound of a voice to see a wolf. The creature spoke as if they had met before but she at first did not recognize him tell she caught his strong god like aura and his words. "You got to be kidding me." she almost growled as she connected the wolf to the demon. "You think I would touch another of them bloody things after our encounter? Do you know what I had to go through? Being captured and almost killed due to it. Yea I have not touched a neckless since thank you." she looked around to see if he was alone and found that he was not that it mattered but at least this time if things went south she was on her grounds and not his giving her an elusive value in the least. 

"So I see you found me my question is what do you want?" she said keeping her anger down as much as she could remember that it gave him power and the last thing she wanted to do was give him more power. 

Xunatar couldn’t help but to smile at her reaction. It appeared that Vinsue wasn’t a fan of his handiwork, not that he would blame her for it. A deal with the devil was sure to burn everyone but himself. “Aye good, that means I left a good impression on you. And I suppose that you would even think about going near jewelry after what you been through. You are quite welcome.” The wolf stretched and laid onto the ground with his head resting on his outstretched front legs. It greatly entertained him to hear about her woes, though he had heard far worse fates than what she described.

He didn’t see the necklace on her, so he assumed that she somehow got it off and was free from the curse. Pity, he really liked that piece of jewelry but it wasn’t like he couldn’t find something similar in the world. Nothing was truly exclusive in this great big world of theirs.

“What do I want? Well, if that anyway to speak to an old friend?”, he spoke, giving her a mocking pout. “I was just in the neighborhood and figured out you were here. From there, I figured why not come and see one of my…visitors and see what you were up to. You’ve been a busy girl?” 

"I still collect trinkets just nothing hexed or enchanted," She stated. "Then again thanks to you I learned some new tricks and ways to survive like the fact I can wield a sword and a dance as old as my kind," she said switching to a more upbeat tone. She actually smiled as she watched the wolf demon lay down and relax. The fact he said "friend " was almost funny since he caused a big danger and twist to her life.  

"Well at the moment I'm searching for something that was recently stolen from me." She said before letting herself turn back to her dragon form and laid down. She wanted to be comfy and say that even a hexed necklace did not last long on her. She was glad to know some deities that were friendly and willing to help even if the one couldn't he did give a valiant effort. 

"You have no clue how great it felt to have my wings back or how relieving it was to have my abilities back. I had a grand time showing them pirates who they had messed with afterward."  she had gained as she remembered the ships she destroyed along with the fire on the dark and the anger it had lead to. "You would have loved to see the aftermath of the port once I was done letting the scum know I was not a force to be reckoned with." 

Perhaps she had learned her lesson since their time together back in the Hollow Cradle. It had been a folly to go to the cursed treasure room and not expect any sort of punishment for it. To be honest, he had let her off very easy in comparison to what the other trinkets and such were capable of doing to her. Being unable to shift would have been the kindest circumstance. But at least she had been capable to cope with the temporary status and picked up a few trades to better herself. “Yes, well, consider it a tough but fair lesson. And it seemed you passed, Vinsue.”

The necklace may have been lost, but in truth he could care less about it or any of the other treasure in his hold. As long as there existed magic used for the darkest of means, there would always be accursed items to gather. But there was a curious question that stroked at his mind; just how did she remove the necklace. It wasn’t by her own accord for he watched her attempt to do that back in the Cradle. How was it possible? His eyes narrowed darkly as he watched her. Perhaps something…or someone more powerful than the curse was to be blame.

He looked at the now dragon that stood among him, yet the wolf was undeterred by the sight of her. “Mayhaps, though I wouldn’t test my luck with such an ordeal.” The pirate bit did make him chuckle though. “Careful now, if there’s one thing they like to do more than to pillage, it is spread word around. Hopefully you hadn’t left any survivors back there.” Xunatar merely stretched his back , “Then again, many of them aren't quite bright so you may be equally safe. It’s really more a gamble, I suppose.” 

"Yea not sure that any lives were lost I was Just really careful not to get caught," she said. yes, she may have been on the revenge path but death was too simple for her to resort to. "Truthfully their words and bounties are what had made town trips so appalling. An ale, a fight, and some mischief were my idea of a good time when not after some treasure that called to me."

Now life was not as simple as she had two kids and no lowlife willing to help her. Well, that was a lie she had a few escaped slaves on her slaves on her side but that did little good. "Ha, that is not a bad idea." she got up and started walking as she again switched to her human appearance. Her hood up on the brown robe. "Come if you want. I dought Ill leave the town before a fight but I can't just stay the information I need changes to quick to let time pass."  She stopped for a second and turned. she put her fingers to her lips and blew.

Soon after the high pitched whistle, Her hatchling came at a run up to her and on to her shoulder. It's black and weight wings flapping as it managed to keep balanced. 

So she liked the thrill of adventure and danger? It was something he kept in the recesses of his mind as he watched her so passively. Knowledge was a more deadly weapon than any blade or claw; it was just a matter of learning how to wield and when to strike. For the time being, it felt way too soon to play with her again. For the time being, he would just another person among the crowd.

The wolf soon grew bored of his form and shifted into the form of a woman. Light blonde hair flowed on top of her head and sky blue eyes lingered onto Vinsue. On her character was a beautiful yet simple green dress and boots. “Do not worry, only you can see me right now, dear girl. That way I can observe without interfering with your game.” Her voice was sweet and soothing, but that was apart of the god’s game now. Tilting her head, she smiled and folded her arms behind her back. “Let’s see what you are capable of. I, for one, can’t wait to see your mettle… “

With Vinsue’s companion called for, she assumed that she was ready to travel and retrieve her precious information. Would there be any added pressure with Xunatar’s presence lingering about? Time would tell and it would simply added to Chaos’ fun.

Normally a person looking like his female form going where she planned on going was a bad idea but if only she saw him then who cared. She walked to towards the city. "Normally, if a person looking like you went anywhere near the places I'm going they would be in trouble. but guess a demon like you would not need to worry. though I do request if you decide to let others see you that you look like one that can kill a man a look." 

She went silent as she walked into the city. The place was actually very crowded for that time of day. She made her way to the port as she looked for a particular person. Seeing the man she did a quick nod then passed after it was returned. She then went into a bar and ordered her regular before taking a seat at a corner table. The hatchling climbed onto the table and laid near the wall.

The god merely gave her a whimsical look at the silly request, "Perhaps but you obviously don't know me quite too well, dear girl." Trouble was merely another form of fun and being made to appear weak and being underestimated were but weapons that she could effectively wield. "It's far better to to appear as helpless; it adds to my enjoyment when the perpetrators finally learn the truth before they pay. The looks on their faces are priceless, as I have witnessed many times before." In truth, the only reason why she was going out like that and would remain hidden from sight was just to observe Vinsue's little game. Even if she wasn't to hide, it wouldn't have changed her option of disguise.

She trailed behind, not too far from Vinsue but enough to keep some distance. Even among the crowd, she would have no trouble spotting her. Xunatar remained ever so quiet as she trekked, paying particular attention to the man that her accomplice had brief met with. Her vivid eyes narrowed darkly at them before following inside to a bar and took to an empty seat at her table. "A friend of yours?", she inquired, referring to the stranger back at the docks. "I'd imagine that he plays a role in your venture here?"
