A small wooden hut sat in the middle of the swamplands, held out of the muck by only a few planks of wood. Mosquitoes swarmed around the hut, oddly enough staying away from the many open spots in the walls. A heady scent wafted from teh hut.
Inside the hut. a pale figure slipped on a dark robe, sharp fingers feathering through short, dark hair. Red eyes were half-lidded as the feminine figure grabbed a mug and sat at her table, illuminated only by the candlelight. Bringing the mug to her nose, she inhaled deeply of the heady scent and took a sip, wrapping her hands more firmly about the mug.
A small shadow formed suddenly in the middle of the shadow, and she let out a dsgruntled noise, flicking a finger. A small noise filtered out of the shadow, a high-pitched thing, and she narrowed her eyes. "That's lovely- now, who sent you?"
Another small noise. She sighed, her nondescript voice falling harshly from pale lips. "Go." The shadow shifted and in a tiny flash of smoke, it was gone, as suddenly as it had appeared.
She sighed, pressing slender fingers to her forehead. It was going to be a long day.
