Some time ago, I heard that there were troubles, someone malicious making their way through and causing suffering wherever they set foot.<br/><br/>I think I met her. A brief conflict, and I was defeated. Normally, I have been a force to be reckoned with, my familiar and I..."<br/><br/>A cat-sized skeletal dragon flies over to sit upon her shoulder.
