Ramera stood up, bringing her hands down to brush off what dust she could that stained her maid’s uniform before bringing her hands above her head and arcing her back backwards, stretching the muscles in her lower back and stomach. She let out a sigh as her joints moved and shifted in her back. Intruding her thoughts there came a distant sharp scraping sound resounding through the air, pulling away her temporary relaxation she stared out into the distance scanning and aiming to pin-point the source of the sound. It didn’t take long to see the yellow cloud distantly in the sky. [i]Help[/i] [i]Whoever had shot that flare knew the way Paradise worked, not only that but they had carried a flare. Did someone from Paradise go out?[/i] No, they were on lock down. The only people let out were warriors, blessed ones and harpies. No, it wasn’t someone from within Paradise. Nonetheless it was near the river. Why would somebody be at the river? Unless… That sound earlier may have been from some kind of boat. It was also possible it had been a car or some land based vehicle, but you’d have to assume they would be using the river as a guide. This was strange. Was it a trap? It was quite possible, considering the recent attack. They wouldn’t have any search parties ready after the lockdown. Her sister was to head out and scout when Clo returned, but who knew when that was going to happen. Ramera turned her head, seeing two men already racing off to go alert The Mother of the distress signal. Ramera’d had already filled in for Anora once while she went after Clo. Now it was Anora’s turn to repay her. Ramera turned to the direction of her distant sister. “Anora, fill in for me. I’ll be heading out with whatever make-shift search party The Mother comes up with,” she yelled out in an even tone. Turning to the direction she’d seen the two men run off she extended her metallic wings as they released a sound mimicking that of needles clicking across metal. She soared into the sky and begun scanning the area below, searching for the two men who’d spotted the flare surprised at the distance they had already made.
