After the numerous amount of quests she's been on, Taotie saw fit to relax for a couple of days instead of following those fools on whatever dangerous excursions they were eager to throw themselves into. Besides she had much better things to do anyways with one of them being finally attaining a proper form for herself that wasn't the stupid staff that she was turned into once she entered the world.

Gone was the ancient looking wooden staff that many adventurers swore was cursed and in it's place stood a two foot tall purple haired woman with a magical set of wings on her back. She looked down to get a good look at her new appearance alongside the black dress she was now wearing that was a little more intricate than she was expecting, not that she minded of course. Unfortunately good things couldn't last forever it seemed as a telepathic call ran through her head.

[color=FFD700]"Great, first there was all those earthquakes shaking up the whole place and now I'm the one with a mysterious voice ringing in her head. I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke or something but worse comes to worse I could always shoot whoever had the bright idea of prank calling me..."[/color] Taotie muttered to herself as she flew herself on over to the river warehouse while keeping out of sight among the dilapidated buildings that surrounded the place. 

Upon arriving there, Taotie would be quick to see the sizeable gathering that was taking place there alongside parts of the conversation that were taking place at the moment. Her eyebrow raised upon seeing a familiar face in Astra but she wouldn't comment on anything just yet due to this entire ordeal looking rather shifty. The blonde fae in particular was giving her the creeps, which was ironic given her current appearance, but Taotie knew that she couldn't hide around forever either as she appeared at last before the group with apprehension. At the very least the danger of the broken seal was rather obvious and in plain sight although that didn't mean Taotie was looking to risk her neck in this mess for free. [color=FFD700]"A demonic invasion huh? I don't know whether to be annoyed more about the fact that someone thought it was a good idea to build a city over some ancient seal or that you decided to enter my mind unsolicited but I guess I could overlook such things if you got a reward in mind for putting me through all this trouble."[/color] She spoke accusatively towards Valeria.
