[center][b]Akari Near Bruma's gate[/center][/b]

Akari ran her fingers over a bottle of health restoring potion, her claws making a soft 'tink tink' against the glass. She'd payed off a servant to inform her of what was going on in the castle, not wanting to take the time to break in herself. It wouldn't do to see the wrong side of a set of bars at a time like this. Things were moving swiftly she could tell. Her ears twitched as her tail swished lightly behind her. After a few moments her informant approached, whispering what had been said in the castle walls. "Thank you." She said softly before leaning her head against the stone wall of the building she pressed against. The servant sprinted back to the castle his pockets a little heavier than when he left it. Akari sighed softly and looked up at the sky, the sounds of the birds and fauna overwhelmed by the mewling masses outside the gates begging for food or shelter. Bruma would send them away....and they would move on. Some may try the other cities...some may move on to Skyrim... [i]What will [b]I[/b] do?[/i] She thought to herself as she watched the soldiers and villagers mill about town. Everyone was scared, on edge, not only the Thalmor to worry about, but now this horrific crisis. 

The cat moved from the wall and began walking toward the gate. She would not return to Skyrim. Not yet. After all she had nothing to show her brothers and sisters of the guild. It was clear nothing of value was to be gotten here. With a quick flick of her wrist she picked a few gold from a passing noble woman, and on her way out of the gates she tossed it to Kajiit child "Blessings of the moons upon you." She whispered to the cub. Knowing the cat would get little love even among the other refugees. Looking out at the big city...She knew she couldn't hold her own alone in the shape she was in. Her theives guild armor, and bow at her side...She needed something, some Divine backing would be best, but that was most likely not to come. [i]Maybe I'll find some fortune discarded by those who ran.[/i] she mused as she wandered out of town...Should she go south to Charrol or East to Cheydinhal? She decided on Cheydinhal, taking a Northerly route, to hopefully avoid some of the beasts streaming from the seam cut through the sky.
