Shadowmist sighed, glancing at herself in the mirror before fluttering over to her perch. All of this business with a killer was ridiculous - it would blow over by morning, and then they could get back to socializing. She smiles to herself, amused by the idea that she might actually enjoy a social event, but her mirth is cut short by an odd gurgling sound. It sounded like... rasping breath? No, not quite.
Curious, she re-lights the candle with a quick burst of magic. The sound seemed to be coming from the dresser. She lightly flits over and begins to cautiously open drawers, pawing through the contents. Suddenly, the sound stops.
She looks up, confused, and catches a glimpse of something behind her in the mirror. Something glowing faintly in the dark - eyes? No!
Shadowmist fires a defensive bolt into the dark, and with a pained whimper the glow vanishes. The fae looks around, frills rippling intently. A creature skulking around her room in the middle of the night surely could not mean well. There! A movement! She shoots out another bolt, but it misses as the shape hurtles forward with a snarl. A clean cut across the smaller dragon's neck delivers a swift and merciful death.
The little fae drops out of the sky without a sound, and the killer backs up, whining softly. It nudges the body softly, then runs out into the dark hallway, injured shoulder already beginning to heal.
{DAY PHASE}
Nahimana wakes the others up. "I regret to inform you that we have bad news this morning." She puts her head down as if in regret, but then raises it back up. "Let us have a moment of silence for a fallen comrade."
There was a brief moment of silence in the air.
"The killer has attacked us this night, and Shadowmist (@
DauntlessDoctor) has perished. I will be cleaning up the body, and with Red Velvet, investigating for the killer. before I do wish to inform you that it was a
mirror, skydancer or wildclaw whom killed the fae." She looked at everyone "Unfortunately that doesn't really narrow anything down, but we know the blow was quick and mirrors, skydancers or wildclaws could've done it, but not anything bigger or smaller. They don't have a gaping hole, from being stomped or anything else and do not appear to be crushed. It seems to have been one quick blow or swipe."
She looked at Knight "Please, you did ask to be near Shii, your charge, correct? You may go with her now. The rest of you, attempt to figure out who the murderer is. Malevolent, Knight make sure things do not get to hectic. I will be off investigating. You all have one chance to drag a dragon into the cells."
((Just so you guys know, The Guards, Hesita, Shii, and ElectricSqueak all have the same ratio. Hestia, Shii and ElectricSqueak are all protected. Hestia protected by Blitz, Shii protected by Knight and ElectricSqueak protected by Inari. However no one is protected not even guards, from the cells. These things are like dungeons, actual dungeons... not nice at all. As stated you may send ONE dragon to the cells per day to find the killer.))
