The morning sun hadn't even risen above the horizon, but Mildred was already up. Early to bed and early to rise...Sorta. She wasn't much for sleeping to be honest. The dreams that sometimes came were not the best so she always tried to get as little sleep as possible. For once it came in handy as she opened the door just in time before the courier could knock on it. She didn't know his name. Didn't know most people to be honest other than by sight. She knew his face, but that was all. "Yes?"<br/><br/>"Letter from the Council miss."<br/><br/>Reaching out for it, she quickly scanned it, cursing under her breath as she did so. Of all the stupid things someone could do...This was beyond even that. Marriage could possibly be forgiven. While it wasn't a high chance, at least there was a slim one. But to bear a child out of that wedlock? Unspeakable. The lines should never be mixed! All that magical energy in one soul...Who knows what damage could be done! Handing the man his tip, she quickly went back inside to prepare.<br/><br/>She didn't have much, preferring to live with only what was necessary. Which turned out to be helpful in times like this. Her only concern was for her indoor plants which she toted outside so they could at least have a mild chance of surviving. This adventure was by no means gonna be an easy one and therefore it might be some time till she came back. Packing everything else she could carry (and in some cases, wearing multiple layers of things she couldn't stuff in her bag), she was ready just as the sun peeked over the horizon.<br/><br/>Entering the council room, she knew she was mildly late already. Or early. She couldn't quite decided as their was already someone ahead of her. While there might have been two main lines of magic, there was just one Council. She suppose it was to prevent war from breaking out and to make sure all lawbreakers of the magical nature was dealt with fairly. After all, it was hard for a wizard or sorcerer to be shown mercy for a crime if not everyone belonged to the same side.<br/><br/>Either way, she would wait her turn to check in, even as one of the members of the Council noticed her and beckoned her forward to stand beside the male.
