Ah, Jahaur. Zyphire frowned as he walked beneath the familiar trees of the rain forest and despite being gone from the area for the past five years the boy still remembered the way that the warm damp air felt against his skin and how the glowing crystals from beneath the houses in the trees lit the dark paths. He hated this place. The shifter shook his head in frustration before letting out a soft sigh. It would be fine, he was still far away from his home village and needed to have nothing to do with it.
At least his job was done for the most part. Zyphire raised a brow as the shifter woman and her family disappeared up the trees and into their home. In his hand was a purse of coins that he had been paid to escort the family back from Oba to Jahaur. That was the one reward of the Dretch - the fact that there had been a lot more money for free lancers like him to escort families and individuals home. Fear of the Dretch was so vivid that no one wanted to travel alone and even one pair of blades help to ease the mind for those who wished to believe that there was at least some chance of a fight. Zyphire closed his eyes against the thoughts before pocketing his coin. As for him he gave no damns about what the Dretch did since he doubted one would be able to lay a hand on him easily. As for his family back in Zena Zyphire knew that they were in good hands as long as they stayed together in the estate, but then again that wasn't all of his family....his other cousin and her children had just come back to Jahaur and he was tempted to visit with them. The young Adenah had just left to much of an impression on him and for once Zyphire found himself actually considering to worry about his family in Jahaur, another reason for deciding to finally escort someone to Jahaur rather than around Oba, Tale, or Sauti.
