Seren
A shadow of something quite large and winged passed by overhead. It blotted out the sun for a moment in a flash of blue, then disappeared. A trilling call in its wake made the birds in the trees go silent, foregoing their usual serenades in favor of nervously scanning the skies.
The somewhat eerie silence made every snap of bush and twig sound over loud. Most of it could be easily explained away; a breath of wind, or a squirrel too brave or too stupid to ignore the potential danger. But a rustle in the underbrush behind the young brothel owner was not as easily ignored. There was a sense of something approaching, crouched low and moving with intent. Closer, ever closer...
It was stalking her.
