Behind her, her cold-eyed companion skulks at the table they shared, shifting his gaze around the room as if to take in every detail of the room...and to make note of every face he sees.

Formerly, he was involved in a certain dangerous element that we believe needs to be addressed before it gets too...[i]out of hand[/i]."

Their influence has been growing as of late, and though they have kept themselves from drawing too much attention to themselves, I fear that their growing numbers may make them bolder." Echo continues, finishing off the pair's presentation. "Kabuki is manipulative, and holds great social status in the underworld. Having him at Corvus's side may make her a greater threat than she has ever been before. We ask that a more careful eye be placed on this...underworld performer." With that, Echo respectfully bows, and the pair retreats back to their table.

The wanted poster he drew before him to study. The face and name were not familiar, but the name Corvus was. Blaze set the poster face down on his table, allowing a blue light to race over it.

@Azurenight A shadow stirs behind you, and suddenly two black dragons appear to materialize out of what little darkness there is in the room. A male Skydancer gazes at you with a piercing stare, looking as though he desperately wants to speak to you, but he keeps his silence. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=24552536] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/245526/24552536_350.png[/img] [/url] The huge Imperial female steps forward, and though it is obvious from her body language that she wishes she were not in anyone's company, she greets you in a low rumble, "My name is Ankaa, and this is Wisteria. We have some information that may be of some interest to you. Well, [i]he[/i] does, at least. I have nothing to say; I am only here to act as an interpreter." [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=28334494] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/283345/28334494_350.png[/img] [/url] Her cryptic words become clear as Wisteria begins quickly signing and she translates for him. "I once worked among the criminals of the shady underworld that permeates this land. I was a spy, and I was good. Very good. I was known as Shadowwhisper to those who sought my services. I must admit, I would work for anyone who would pay me, regardless of their station, lawful or criminal. I could infiltrate anywhere, and no one would be any the wiser. But I was arrogant. I thought I could never be caught. One night, my pride caused me to forget to take all the precautions to avoid detection as I usually did. I was caught and brutally tortured. They ripped out my tongue. I survived and continued my work as a mute, but now I will only search for answers to who dragons like this answer to. It is all in vain, for they are like a nest of vipers. When you think you have found them all, seven more paths spring up, each more twisted than the last. It is a terrible web that is woven beneath our very noses, and no matter how much information I think I obtain there is always more to learn and worse things that are uncovered." Wisteria's hands go still, and Ankaa goes quiet. The Skydancer looks at her with a fierce and fond smile, clearly grateful that she has come here with him so that he can be better understood by the others here. She nods at him in acknowledgement and melts back into the shadows. It seems that she has left, but her eyes are still upon the room, seeing everything while remaining unseen herself, just the way she likes it. Wisteria looks at you in desperation, grabbing for your hands. Holding them tightly in his own, he leans his face in close to yours and opens his mouth, revealing a corpse's tongue sewn into it. "This goes deeper than anything we can imagine," he rasps at you. His words are slow and painful; it is obviously taking great effort for him to say even this short phrase. He sits down at the table hoping to hear more and ready to help in any way he can.

@slugslinger Blaze's attention switched from the speakers to the mirror that wandered into the study. There was something about his uniform that struck him as familiar, but for the life of him he couldn't figure out why.
