Serra walked through the trees, the moon was rising in the sky and her skirt trailing along the forest floor. She watched with her gift as a Night Wisp floated towards her.
Serra smiled and turned to face the Wisp she had first meet seven years ago.
"Luna, how are you this fine evening?"
"Lovely, the clear sky allows the stars to shine, I've always liked stars."
"Yes, the stars are beautiful tonight. What brings you here?"
"Four women entered our land, you said some of your sister confessors might need you so we left them be, would you go see them? We can't be sure who they are and need your confirmation."
"I'll go. Lead the way Luna."
She said as she grasped the hilt of Serenity.

Brushing past the bushes, Serra ran after Luna, it was difficult to see ahead but Luna's light made it easier. She doubted it was her sisters, they wouldn't have reached Agaden Reach by now,that was when they were to come for her and unless there was a major crisis they wouldn't be here.
Luna slowed, dropped down close to the ground.
Luna whispered to Serra
"They are ahead."
Serra strained, trying to see them with her gift or eyesight in the darkness.
"I'm not sure who they are. Come on, only one way to tell if they're friend or foe." She said, rising to her feet, and calmly walking towards the strange figures.

They sat in a circle in the middle of the clearing. The strange creatures they had encountered told them to stay there and wait. For what they were unsure of, but Fennel knew better than to ignore the warning of a creature of magic. They had been sent out two weeks before from Altur'Rang to find these rouge confessors, but they had found no sign of them. About three days back she had looked in the journey book she kept at her belt and found a message.
"Travel to the south and west to the land of the Night Whisps."
There was no explanation, just an order. Fennel had been tempted to ask why, but when the Empress sent a member of the Fold on a mission, you did not question. Sister Percy put her hand on Fennels hand and gestured off towards the woods.
Some one was aproaching.

The four women where not any of her sisters. Serra was tempted to kill them on the spot, but she was curious what they were doing here. Better to let them talk, and watch them kill each other later, Serra smiled at the thought. Serra stepped into the clearing and mentally gripped her Confessor power.
"You are trespassing on the Land of the Night Wisps. You are lucky I was expecting someone. Explain what you are doing here. Now."

Fennel carefully stood up in unison with the other sisters, then went to their knees before the woman. None spoke. As she touched her forehead to the soft grass Fennel seen the look of suprise on the rouge Mother Confessers face.

Serra sighed. Even without her old confessor dress people still acted like this.
"Damn the bloody spirits" She muttered.
"Rise, and answer the question. "

Fennel rose to her feet and looked the rouge Mother Confessor in the eye.
"We have traveled a great distance to speak with you Mother Confessor."
She could see that the woman kept her hand on the blade at her hip, it would be best to give answers before she decided to use it.
"To be exact we traveled her from Altur'Rang to bring you back with us."
The Mother Confessors grip on her sword tightened immediatly.
"Take me by force?"
She said in outrage. Realizing how that had sounded Fennel immediatly responded.
"No not at all, infact if you refuse to come with us we will simply leave."
Her face still had a look of murder on it.
"We were sent here on the orders of Empress Liliana because she believes you can be of mutual benefit to each other."
Her face softened a bit, then she asked a strange question.
"Does this Empress Liliana have a quillion?"
Fennel glanced back at her sisters for a second.
"The Empress has many items of magic, we are unsure of exactly what. If she does not have one though her husband is skilled in crafting items of magic."
The rouge Mother Confessor still held the hilt of her sword, but not as tightly as when they had first encountered her. Now all they needed to do was wait for her answer.

Serra considered this.
"Fine, I'll go see this Liliana. But first, I must see my sisters who should be arriving at Agaden Reach any day now."
The woman nodded
"That's fine"
Serra turned and started walking back to her camp site, looking back over her shoulder.
"Oh and two more things, if you value your lives, don't come back to the Land of the Night Wisps, and who are you? You neglected to identify yourselves."

Fennel bowwed her head a little.
"I am Sister Fennel-"
She gestured at the other sisters.
"-These are sisters Percy, Armina, and Nina. We belong to a group known as the fold."
Her curiosity sated, the rouge Mother Confessor turned and left.

Serra doused the campfire, and picked up her pack.
"Thank you Luna, its been a pleasure seeing you. May the good spirits watch over you. "
"And you too Serra."
Serra waved as she walked out the edge of the forest. She whistled to the sorceresses, and jerked her head toward Agaden Reach. Fennel nodded and hurried to catch up to Serra.
