Early brightening, 16th of Kalendryas in the Season of Winter
Era I of the Celestine Mandate
Era XV Post Fractum

Iris yawned as she trudged up from the Sea Dragon harbor. It had been one small gift that had seemed to be granted woman to not have been spotted in her return to the city. She had nothing to fear mind one, after the fiasco an era or two ago, the woman had no trouble with the law. The time after the three Wolfsbane children had sailed off with their fathers’ ship, it had seemed that their father, a passionate man, had been in anger and worry and posters of the three had traveled rather far. Iris had not been certain which of the two had been worse, the missing, or the wanted posters.

Thankfully as quickly as it seemed they had spread, away they went, each of the children certain due to the voices and actions of the mother and brother they had left behind. So really she had no worry, but it was still dreadfully early in the brightening,

She wasn’t sure exactly where she walked now, but Iris walked with seeming purpose getting acquainted with the still sleeping town and its streets as she left the waterfront. The woman had picked this place because it was clean; it was ripe for a lady to make her own humble beginnings. Iris may hold hopes for a romantic life, as a mercenary or pirate, but still a girl did have a need for a safe haven to lay her head and find her feet.

Her pack at her back made no noise though it was weighed with her food, and clothes, and even the satchel of money she had kept, locked away and hoarded in her cabin. She had some time until even the early shops opened their doors, and hours still until the pubs were open and ready to do business. Until then, she walked, what else was a girl to do?
