The cold gestures and arrogant eyes of the old man upon her face made her clench her teeth together to prevent herself from barking at him. Except for the brief twitch in her jaw nothing showed from her inner brawl. With a nod she acknowledged the knight who turned out to be her companion for the next six months. The words of the lord sounded very harsh and Ilinfer had to think of the reputation of the guild. She truly didn't understand why this horrible person had to be so harsh. Whatever, the world was harsh, so why shouldn't the people be. The warrior listened carefully as he explained their objective. The pouch hit the tables surface with the typical jingle. Somehow it sounded like screams to Ilinfer. Conscious of what still had to be done she unrolled the scroll in her hands, offering the contract to the lord. It was custom to sign a contract with the guild, just to insure that the person fulfilling the mission would get their money in the end. Of course the lord would know this, had he surely called upon the guild before. The woman then retreated, turned to the knight with a nod and a fleeting smile. Then she took up position next to the door, crossing her arms across her chest and waiting until they would finally embark. She was itching for a fight. Mayhap she would start a small brawl in the next tavern after indulging in some beer or warm mead. With any luck she would be singing and dancing drunk with the crew of some ship . . . that was, if they allowed women on board. Sailors were very peculiar in that way. Hopefully the knight would just take the money and they could be on their way and gone. The fighter didn't mingle well with nobles and didn't understand their world full of intrigues and power. With a sigh that almost didn't register she stroked a curl behind her ear, tucking it in with all the other stray strands of raven black. An earring glinted as it caught the light – a small ring placed at the top of her left ear. A glance would suffice to recognize it as black steel.

Out in the hallway soft footfalls echoed from the stone walls, announcing the arrival of a third party. Weather scarred boots halted in front of the wooden door through which the muffled sound of two male voices could be heard. One of them seemed to be foreign to the capital, judging by the melody in his voice. Although the words spoken didn't carry beyond the room the voices could be identified. Surely one of them would be the lord Illyn Grey who had called upon the fire-guild for a fighter to protect his merchandise. The guild was known for accommodating blacksmiths, jewellers and warriors throughout the country. There were rumours about the latter possessing the ability to conjure fire – a gift granted to the bravest by the goddess Ardebit, patron of the guild. It wasn't uncommon for the higher folk to hire from the guild. For the special nature of this mission the community had chosen the former apprentice of the famous Shirtal. He had made a name for himself by battling alongside the king almost a decade ago. Now it was the turn of the next generation to prove their worth and loyalty. This particular warrior had ridden all the way from the village of Raki to the capital in half a day – the short notice preventing an earlier arrival. A knock sounded as the fighter rapped upon the door. The maid hurried to open it and beyond the wood a woman came into sight. She was a slender female with cool features yet warm steel coloured eyes. She was dressed in heavy boots that had seen better days, leather trousers and a leather vest that seemed to be covering a linen blouse. Her cape still hung from her shoulders it's hem dark as if it had been freed of mud just shortly. The other people in the room could get the impression that she had just sprang off her horse: Her cheeks were flushed and a curl of black hair tingled on her cheek. The woman entered the chamber and bowed deeply towards the men. In a clear voice that carried the vowel-emphasizing accent of the northern folk she spoke: “Ilinfer Blacksmith at your service, my lord. I was sent by Briavel, second of the council of Ardebit. He sends me on behalf of the fire-guild.” After she had finished speaking she straightened her back and produced a scroll from under her cape. A attentive viewer could have noticed the sword, that hang from her belt and was visible for just a second as the folds of her cape shifted with her movement. Waiting for further instructions she stood there, scroll in her hands, eyes on the older man who was fairly dressed as she would expect a lord to be.
