Rin Wicker frowned at the Council. "You want me to guide someone? That's ridiculous!" Interestingnewonehere.Youguide,wepay.Sorceressnotharmyouanymore. Hissed the Council. Rin almost grinned. Payment AND protection? His gaze darkened. If the Council was going to put up that much, then the newcomer must really be interesting. "What's so interesting about them?" He said, furrowing his brow.

Already this guy was starting to get on her nerves. "My name is Eiea." She said, tilting her head to show him that she wasn't intimidated by the couple inches he had on her. "And apparently, you're my guide to these insane woods."
