The front of the altar wavers like the surface of a pool of water, then 
clears. An image appears, that of an alleyway. At the end of the alley stand two 
Weretigers. Eliana knows them by their auras, their astral forms, and their 
assumed names: Ripsaw and Striper. A small patch of air shimmers in the shadows 
behind them, but they do not seem to notice. They speak to each other in low 
tones. They observe the street. Ripsaw then crosses the street and slips under a 
car, an old limousine. Striper follows. They meet beside the car, then go around 
it to the sidewalk and in through the front door of a tenement.
