[quote]"Yer dressed like a parade dancer with a death wish," he told her, bewildered at what to do with her. "You're Kith, aren't you?"[/quote]

Anise blushed at the mention of her appearance and attire. She certainly wasn't dressed for the Ball anymore. The dress she was wearing was not much more than rags covering her body and unmentionables. Her legs were now showing: something only a whore would do. She certainly no longer had an appearance expected of a woman. "I do apologize for my appearance. I am no Kith though, but I am not a 'pirate' as they call you either."

Before the man had a chance to respond, Reus surprise attacked the gryphon. He cursed and made his way towards Reus ready to slice into the wolf with his sword. She didn't want to witness anymore death and knew that she had to do something. She stood up as the man approached Reus and concentrated on all of them. She wanted all of them to stop.

"I am Anise, I am the Lady of Light." She put her will into these words. "There is no need for such unnecessary bloodshed." She channeled the power of the lantern through her. "I want the fighting to stop." There was a force of will behind her words she hadn't expected. "I am here to return balance to this Forest and protect those that need it. I will not stand here lightly and watch the death of another living being happen before me."

[b]"I wish for all of you to stand down and be at peace."[/b] At first she did not want to let the man know who or what she was, but she could not let this happen and would do everything in her power to stop it.
