Bab 212: Distortion

Tana and Sorrin were silent, although whether in surprise at my proactive declaration or the oddity of the name, I knew not. The half-elf gazed at me with her piercing green eyes, seeming to search my soul, before she slowly nodded.

"Starlight, hmm. Yeah, that fits. Who's 'she,' by the way?"

I immediately looked away, pressing a hand to my breast as my heart gave a throbbing shudder. Tana waited for a second, watching as my tail drooped, before sighing and sharing a look with Sorrin, who shrugged helplessly.

"The guild master's waiting," he said abruptly. "We'd be best not to make him wait."

Brushing away the gathered moisture in my eyes, I followed after them, burdened with thoughts of Aurle. The staff hummed softly, warming until its strength coursed through my veins and my soul flickered with light. I gave it a grateful squeeze and picked up my tail, hurrying after the two.
