Outside the Sea Fox's Inn, Port of Vensponic
The scene would’ve been hilarious if it weren’t so deadly. Two old buffoons, one drunk and one crazy dueling in the rain, while two children fought to save him.
This was none of her business, she needn’t get involved. In fact, she shouldn’t get...

Shouting around the corner. Amber straightened, groaning as she did, half out of pain, half out of anticipation. French. Was it more men? Part of the same gang they’d just scattered? She sure wasn’t up to any more fighting if that was the case...

The French girl was quicker than them all. The knife – which had seemed to appear from nowhere – sprouted from one of the pirate’s chest, and he collapsed without a sound. Amber blinked. Amazing.

Boy? Another kid? Figures. It was a surprise - and...

For a moment Amber did not realize whom the old drunkard was speaking of and when she did, she gripped her drink stronger and ground her teeth. Hissing snake? She nearly strangled him right there. And then he had the nerve to speak to her. She fought the urge to...
