| By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes!If you look into the darkness, where shadows cross over night and are cast on moonlit altars, the eyes of witches and wizards surround you in the fog. But are they truly interested in you, mortal? No, they are not. The are looking at the cat perched on the foot of your bed, eyeing them with yellow irises. The twitch of his tail means a storm is coming. It's time to prepare. The last Supreme Wix of the high council was found suspended by a rope by her ankles over the great fire in the casting hall of the council building in Berlin. Her arms outstretched, she looked quite like a cross turned on it's end as the blood flowed down her face and sparked strange colors as it hit the fire. After making sure she was quite thoroughly dead, the left and right lowered her body into the flames and let them carry her spirit into it's next life. Poor Madame LeRouge. She was a good leader, too. Now, quite obviously this was not how she was meant to die, and the murder of the Supreme Wix means something afoul is in the council, and it isn't Ola's raven. A new Supreme Wix will emerge from somewhere in the council, or perhaps even outside it. But who killed the Supreme? And why? - Code:

Preferred Method of Divination: Tarot Diety: Cailleach History: Raised among the travelic druidic romani in Ireland, Rhiannon grew up learning her craft and healing those who brought her something interesting enough that she would deem it payment.

Riley Lane Homeland: North America Practicing: Neo-Shamanism Sigil:
Familiar: Silver Fox Apprentice: N/A Wand: Appearance: Is often dressed in loose, open, natural clothes- leathers, silks, and cottons, often adorned with various abstract trinkets that act as a fetish for spirits that he may channel or house. Aura: Spectrum (Due to Fettered Spirits), Varied, Alien, Cold Preferred Method of Divination: Trance Diety: Animistic History: Riley had always pictured himself a spiritual man, and in his youth he had left civilization to camp under the pretense of having a "Vision Quest." Under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms he found himself lost and dirtied in the wilderness, shivering and cowering by a stump as his enhanced perception was overwhelmed. A large bear appeared before him, wreathed in colorful leaves, and vines. It spoke to him, though he has yet never admitted what exactly the beast told him. His vision went black and when he awoke he was in the hut of a powerful shamanic hermit- a gargantuan bear skulking about outside. Since his introduction to magic, he has trained with the shaman that found him, and has traveled abroad to better round his mystical education. Personality: Wise, Stoic, Inquisitive, Passive

| Neyris Rhiannon stood leaning on her staff in the main hall, watching the corpse of the Supreme burn to ash. Something was oddly fitting about it all, even if it was somewhat horrific. Her bare feet scruched against the stone, longing for the feet of Earth between her toes. The bells and charms hanging from her antlers clicked against each other as she looked up at the crude ropework. The crowd forming murmured around her as she looked over the scene. None of it seemed right. Even for a coven of witches. | |

| Adrianna tilted her hat down in reverence, arms crossed behind her back. She looked to her familiar, watching as the raven tilted its head, communicating with her and yet silent. She let out a sigh, moving from the gathering and heading to absolute edge of the crowd, taking a moment to scan everyone. She pressed her glasses higher up the bridge of her nose, the entire thing feeling entirely wrong. | |

| Neyris looked up at the crowd, scanning it absently. She bowed her head, shuffling away from the masses. There was nothing for her to learn here, and the collective misery was damn near overwhelming. She headed for the garden, leaning her staff on a tree and sitting on a stump. She took a pair of stones from her pocket and fiddled with them as she worked to focus and ground herself. | |

| Adrianna spied one of those gathered slipping out into the garden. She furrowed her brow, her shoes clicking against the stone floor as she hurried over to the archway to the garden. She slowed her pace to a crawl, slipping into the garden and observing Neyris sitting in the garden, a pair of stones in hand. Her familiar spread his wings, flying to the highest branch of a nearby tree, chirping softly as he looked down on Neyris. | |

| Neyris looked up, curious, "I didn't like the smell." she stated simply, "Makes my stomach turn." Empaths were looked down upon. Rather be viewed as one with a weak stomach than have the council register her as an empath. | |

| Adrianna leaned against one of the stone walls, shoes digging into the grass. "I understand what you mean. Burning flesh has never appealed to me." She turned her head up to the sky, arms crossing over her chest. "This is insane... The Supreme dead?" | |

| She nodded, "Not that there aren't plenty who would do it. Her death means the rising of the next supreme. Many are conceited enough to believe it them. I'm Neyris Rhiannon. Of Ireland." | |

| "Adrianna Dust, of the United Kingdom." She answered, studying Neyris once more. "Are you one of those who believe they could become the next Supreme?" She asked, trying to approach the topic as gently as possible. | |

| "I could care less who the supreme is." She huffed, "I'd rather be done with this whole thing and back home where I belong. Buildings make me uncomfortable." she rolled her shoulder, extending her hand as her wolf seemed to step forward from nothingness to nuzzle her palm. | |

| Adrianna nodded, pulling her glasses off and storing them in a case, sliding that into an interior pocket of her suitcoat. "But surely you'd have...thoughts on who you would support to be the next supreme." She said, trying to get a small glimpse into Neyris' thoughts about it. | |

| "It is not my decision but the goddess's." she answered simply, "She chooses the next supreme. Not I. It is not my place to decide such, or support whoever has not proven themselves to be such." | |

| "A fair enough answer." She said, tilting her head back into the casting hall to watch for anyone else coming this way. Her familiar let out a series of chirps, flitting down to a lower branch. | |

| "And you?" She returned, "Did you ask to garner support for your own campaign?" | |

| "No. I've no intention of seeking the position of Supreme. My interest is more focused towards finding the culprit." She admitted, shifting the position of her legs just a hair. | |

| Rhiannon observed the gesture casually, then nodded without so much as a hint to her thoughts, "I see. More along the lines of the investigator." she stood, sliding the stones back into her pocket, "Am I a suspect to you?" | |

| "You left the hall in something of a hurry, but I can understand the dissatisfaction at the smell of burning flesh. And besides, I would more than likely suspect whoever did this to have aspirations of becoming the next Supreme." She said, very clearly more relaxed and forthcoming than when she had entered. | |

| "Could I not have lied?" She observed the woman's face intently, analytical, thoughtful as she did so. They flicked to the Raven, then back to the urbanite. "Those from the city know well enough not to trust others." | |

| "And I don't trust you. Trust is something I learned long ago to throw away. However, I have measured your words and determined that you are, at this moment, innocent." She said coolly, her tone such that you thought a small breath of frost might leap from her mouth. | |

| Rhiannon nodded, "Good. So we are on the same page. I'm sure the right and left will want to call a meeting to discuss this, though. Accusations will be made, and I'm sure it'll be all but a bloodbath." | |

| "If that is what it will be, then so be it. My alchemy is strong enough to keep the Kingdom in line. I have enough faith in myself and in Holy Artemis." She said with a small smirk. | |

| Rhiannon nodded, handing her one of the stones from her pocket, "Take this. It calls to you more than I." The hemitite gleamed silvery in her hand, cool and heavy to the touch. | |

| Adrianna took the stone, looking down on it with curiosity. "As you say..." She said, pocketing the stone and patting it a few times for certainty. | |

| It seemed to be rooted to the earth, a small weight in her pocket that grounded her to soil. And yet it felt like it belonged on her, at peace and rest in her care. Rhiannon took her staff and bowed her head, walking slowly with her wolf back to the rooms. | |
