Strange things were happening in Creation.  Xytrisae had been witness to most of them.  Long ago had the oldest of Raksha learned how move among the Creation Born without frightening them.  Long ago she had determined how to entreat with them and get what she needed basically.  It truly was a tale to tell, a Princess reduced to a pauper among the foreign stable lands of Creation.  Still it wasn’t all that bad.  The Creation Born, once they get past the fact you aren’t going to drain their very life, are quite easy to get along with.  She travelled the East, avoiding the Opal Court and their Raksha as they would make her life quite difficult.

Xytrisea was well known, or rather partially known, in the area, having sung and soothed those humans that needed it.  The Hundred Kingdoms had been quite messed up after the Balorian Crusade destroyed what they could before they were made unreal, and when she had arrived it was pretty much all she could do was running and hiding.  But after awhile she began to sing near their settlements.  Xytrisae was well known in the Wyld for this, an alluring beautiful song that would ensnare and rend apart those would hear.  But here in Creation she had learned to dull her edge, and so the Creation Born could listen and enjoy.

Creation though had been changing.  The Dragon Blooded had taken control of the lands, their laws were absolute, or rather where they dared to tread.  She had heard stories from other Raksha of the North were a Solar had appeared and destroyed a large portion of an entire house there.  And then the Dead arrived, the atrophy they brought made her sick.  But here in the Hundred Kingdoms she was safe, well for now, humans were almost as capricious as Raksha at times and there was no telling when a Wyld Hunt will hunt one down.  In fact it was a Wyld hunt that had brought … him, even if he weren’t a part of a Wyld Hunt he somewhat smelled of one.

Xytrisae had been peacefully entertaining some children while distrustful at best adults made sure she didn’t take off with their children, near a village she had stopped at for the week.  She held her harp, an exquisite crafted item that sang its tunes as well as her voice did, in her graceful slender hands, while fingers danced across the strings.  Xytrisae leaned against a tree, letting her shimmering black hair tumble behind nearly beside her, while her red feathered wings draped over her shoulders like a fancily made cloak.  Her serpentine tail wrapped about itself in a calm collection of coils, the tip of the tail swinging in time to the tune.  Xytrisae’s eyes were closed as the music flowed from her harp and lips, and only the sun’s warm rays fell upon her.  The peace and serenity of the day truly was a blessing of Creation.  Well that was until a Solar cast his shadow over her and a feeling of uneasy grew in her 'Heart'.

He said nothing, he just watched, and Xytrisae played, only the tip of her scaled tail belaying any hint of her worry.  He didn’t leave and yet the mothers that listened with her children seemed more relieved for his presence.  It was some time before I stopped the sun was decending, ever worried that this imposing man would bring upon her destruction.  But he didn’t and this surprised her, when all was said and done he graced with a few paltry coins and nodded his head, giving his compliments about the song and music and his name.  Surely-Refulgent Anshu was his name and Xytrisae oddly wouldn’t forget him.  It was months later or maybe a year when her contacts in the Wyld had informed her that the Solars, who had vanished long ago, were returning.  A rather exciting prospect if not dampened by the loss of the Scarlet Empress.  Without her, the Church of Balor could move and strike at Creation.  Yes Strange things were happening, it almost seemed to her as if some greater force was propelling events, and this thought she liked less.
