Alyson yawned suddenly, "Fine. I will lay low but I am not staying in this city. I'll take my chances outside the walls. Trust me, it's better that way, so I don't go and do something rash. Like giving into my anger."
"Fair enough but be careful," replied Irzen with a firm nod, "If you ran across Venger outside of the city, God only knows what else he may have lurking there as well."
"I will," she half smiled and yawned again.
Irzen held up his hands, "There is a possibility that we can set a trap for this guy, but I need you to keep a low profile until we have him. If he should see us together, then he will know for certain that we know who he is and at that point all hell could break loose. Are you open to the idea of sitting on your hands for awhile?"
"Sure. Why not." Alyson turned around and headed back down the stairs towards the door, "I need to rest anyway. I'll be outside the same gate we entered. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"If you need something to do, how about going to Madame Zenobia's Sauna and checking up on Kana and Serna," asked the Dark Elf with a smile, "Her place lies in the opposite direction of where I sent Tommy to--"
"I'm sure Kana can handle herself."
"--Oh my God!" Irzen snapped his fingers in wide-eyed disbelief, "I just remembered. I sent Tommy after the Doppleganger. At the very least, he should know what he is getting himself into. I'll see if I can catch him before he gets there. Take care and I'll see you in a few, Alyson."
The Dark Elf spirited himself down the stairs, out the door and took off down the street towards the Black Moon Inn.
The elementalist headed back to the gate the group had entered, and passed through unhindered and unnoticed. She found a spot to the left of the gate near the wall to sit down. Before she did that, Alyson sang a little tune into the wind and waited.
On the horizon, a bi-pedal lizard-like creature with flexible arms and hands, sprinted towards her. It was about the size of a horse and twice as long. It was a Swiftwind. A highly intelligent creature who could comunicate via telepathy to the one who had summoned it. Its appearance was deceiving in that it was not a predator but rather a vegetatarian. The whitish-blue scales allowed the creature to literally surf on the wind. It cocked its head, and chirped pleasantly for Alyson to give it an offering. Alyson produced an apple, which the swiftwind graciously gobbled up.
"Guard me, while I sleep. Take me away danger, when I am threatened. Do anything within reason that you feel necessary to protect me and yourself ," Replied the elementalist as she drifted off to sleep, finally.
*As you wish, my lady*
