The serpent slithered through the back alleys, unseen by all. One wouldn't think a thirty foot long giant snake would be so hard to spot, until one realized it could slink through places you would never think to look. Gliding along the shadows in the deepest alleys, coiling behind piles of garbage, and hiding among any scattered bushes and tall grass that grew between the buildings.
Then, of course, if she was really in danger of being spotted, Morana could just turn human again, waiting to change back until no one was paying attention.
She had a destination in mind. She'd only been back in the city for a few days, and there was someone in particular she was looking for. There was a restaurant down among the rows of the Silk Houses. A restaurant their father had once favored. And she had learned that her long lost sister still frequented the place, when she was off duty.
The familiar smells drew her to the right place. She coiled in the shadows of the back alley behind the restaurant. Waited.
Her prey would arrive soon.
