A Day in Mara

by Ashe

This morning, Daerlin went off, I assume to visit his friend that was resting yesterday, and couldn't take visitors. Kai'lai disappeared after him. I need to replenish my rations, so I head to the market. Vesper needs to go to the market today too, and has tagged along.
 
At the market, there seems to be something going on. A girl appears to have limped into town, bleeding. From the rumors, and what I can see of her, she has a dragon lineage. She has pure white hair, and some scales along her hairline. I wonder what attacked her. I certainly hope this has nothing to do with the people who kidnapped and experimented on Lyria. If so, Syleran would probably want to hear about this.
 
Vesper and I helped to make space around her for the healer to attend her wounds. The description of her wounds have the potential to be demonic in nature. If there are demons in the area, I must investigate the situation.
 
Syleran, closely followed by Adrie and soon after, Greg. Apparently Syleran was on the roof and spotted us. Vesper and I informed them of the situation. Daerlin and Kai'lai appeared during the explanation. Hopefully, the Crystal Hunters can get back to me quickly on potential threats in the area. Syleran went off to deal with some children that seem to have tried to copy him jumping off the roof. At least I do not have to deal with that.
 
The doctor has returned. Daerlin seems to know her. The child has awoken. Greg and I will go in to talk to her and try to calm her down. As we approach, she looks very skittish. I place Nyx near her to give her something else to focus on. She describes an attack on her village within the Wyrmwood forest. When I ask her to describe the attackers, she switches to a language that I do not understand.
 
Greg casted a spell, and scared her due to the monsters that attacked her using spells. I ask him to go get Vesper instead, as he scared her and Vesper's draconic lineage might calm her more. It also helps that she know the draconic language. Vesper seems to be able to get the story out of her.
 
The girl's name is Luminia. Vesper informs us of the situation, and it is definitely demons. The source of the demons is one of the towers we need to investigate. As a Crystal Hunter, I cannot let this be. We will go exterminate the infestation.
