Thread: The Lion, the Witch and the... Jackal? [Haru::vampire]

Nearly two weeks went by and Lillian had went to her go to Westerown city to find her supplies but found only found out her supply from the south was cut. What? The black haired woman growled with her amber eyes glowing. Annoyed at the news she jumped on her mare and took her time to get to the coast of Corentyn. The ingredients she needed won't be refined here so her potions and magic will be put to the test and perhaps to the point she was ill for days. The day she pushed herself, she couldn't see nor move for a week. Thankfully she had people to help her but the reason she stayed sick that long was she held her human form while they were coming and going. Upon arriving in the busy streets of Corentyn as she traveled non-stop in which she slept while riding. When she was out of sight she reverted to her natural form, the black jackal with the green eyes. Though soon as she heard people she woke up and turned human. It was morning and the bazaar was busy with business and people shouting prices and such. The young witch looked around as she never seen a place so busy and crowded to the point people were ramming into her horse to cause her to back up. Easy girl... Lillian jumped down and tied her mare up at a stable. Stay here old girl...I'll be back. The horse nuzzled Lillian as the two had be together since birth. Lillian couldn't get a foal out of her bay mare so it was just the two of them in their small world. Little did she know it was another witch's doing to try her skills and to break her spirit. Once more Lillian braved the crowds, she was being shoved around, she got in a fight as one man tried to pick her pocket of all of the coin she brought with her. The fight over her coin purse broke out while another tried to go after her purse as well. ENOUGH! Shouting out as one was invisibly forced back while she turned to the main person with her pulling her dagger out slicing his arm to make him back off. Panting, lip busted, trembling hand as she never thought she'd use a weapon or her powers in public. Once it was clear she was dangerous vendors were happy to give her discounts on the unrefined items plus give her more. Though the crowds had parted which made her look up to see a large Asuran walking amongst humans. The White Lion of Rahadoum was striding through the streets but word has it he never traveled outside of the sandy lands. To Lillian this spelled trouble for whoever he was hunting unaware he was searching for her she walked by him to return to the stables unaware her eyes were glowing. The stablemen shouted as one of the horses were down. Lillian rushed over seeing it was her horse. NO! DAISY! Crying out as she rushed out of the crowd to reach her horse who was barely breathing. Daisy... She held the large head in her hands as she always used her gifts to keep her friend going. Now she couldn't use her powers in public again tears rolled down her cheeks with her forehead touching the large mare's forehead. The stable hand said the mare was dying of old age. I.... Shaking her head as she hugged her friend tightly then looked into the tired eyes of the mare. Put her down and sell the meat. It meant she'd be staying a day there in the coastal city trying to find a way home. Her lips gently pressed against the horse's forehead but as the human brought his sword up, the mare took its final breath and passed on. Lillian got to her feet as she stood outside the stables trying not to cry while the butcher was summoned to buy the horse.
