Dark Cloak

Name: The Cloak (II) (Adrianna Mercante)

Background:

When The Cloak died unexpectedly (if peacefully) in his sleep a little while ago, all his daughter expected to find in his office was a drawer full of empty bottles to clean and some paperwork for his estate. She hadn't even found the paperwork yet when she absentmindedly tucked a cheap-looking ring lying in an old shot glass into her pocket.

That's when the antique rotary phone started ringing. After she'd unplugged it an hour ago. The first caller wanted legal advice for an Unseelie court proceeding. The second said they were responding to an inquiry the Cloak had made about buying a haoma sapling. Even for a police officer in what had recently become one of the strangest cities on the planet, it was a lot to swallow.

Luckily an old notebook tucked in a shoebox mentioned a spirit of air that still owed her bloodline a few favors. A crash course on the occult and her father's secret history followed, and she soon took up the mantle he had left behind. It's been six months since then, and she still feels like she's drowning in the shallow end of a very strange swimming pool.

Now if only her customers paid in dollars and not ancient atlantean tablets and slivers of souls, she'd be able to afford a much larger office.
