Raine Prepares for Guests

I watch Molly Mavis as she ushers the last of the townspeople into our underground community bunker. It’s now known that the dangerous criminal, Tully Eye, is here somewhere in Haven and we need help finding him. Simon has connected with local town guards and is running the investigation. I set the wards outside the bunker doors and off to prepare the town. We’ve stocked the tavern kitchen with goods for a guest cook coming in, met them once and quite excited to try their cooking. The town hall is set up with seating. I swept an area in front of the great fireplace for Z to set up their workshop. Kalen has stationed in the barracks as a representative of the Order. I feel the presence of darkness all around in Haven… but now, I’m also feeling a renewed hope; my friends are on their way.
I only wish I was welcoming them to town under less dangerous measures.
We’ll set up the Consortium in the southern lodge and other guests in the northern.
What is this feeling?? It’s different than the gloom of Tully Eye… it feels very familiar… it feels Fey. I fear we might end up with more guests than anticipated.
My voice echoes in the empty tavern as I go through my Song Magic exercises. All the while my new scythe calls to me. Don’t worry, Sharp One, I’ll hold you again soon.
Heading outside I walk the perimeter and there, coming down the road, I see people. Friends are arriving!
Now the work begins in earnest.
