On the edge of a small, non-bender village sat a small tavern. A few dim lights lit the dirt road that led to the pub, but for the most part it was dark and silent, save for the gentle panting of a dog. Actually, the creature was a half-wolf, half-eagle, with its broad wings folded on its back. The animal followed his master into the tavern, a young woman with long chestnut-brown hair. Kanae sauntered into the quiet tavern, and few looked up at her arrival. “No animals,” the landlord told Kanae. She pouted slightly, but nodded. “Skyron,” she whispered to the animal, bending to eye-level with him, “wait outside.” He whined softly, not wanting to leave his master. “Sorry boy,” Kanae said with an apologetic glance.
Taking a seat at the bar, Kanae ordered a small meal, consisting of a watered down soup and a stale piece of bread. She grimaced, but at least it was better than what she was used to eating over the past couple days. Waiting until the landlord’s back was turned, Kanae lifted the bread with her airbending, and set it out the window to Skyron. The wolf-eagle barked his approval, though they both knew he preferred meat.
Listening to the quiet talk of the people who occupied the tavern, Kanae was able to make out a few words. “Tonight?” “No… new moon…” Inching closer, Kanae tried to catch more of the whispers, but all that was said was lost in the wind.
