Maar watched with interest as she could feel the magic in the woman expand some how.
Fascinating, the fae thought, wondering how this was possible. Her magical aura felt.. weird, almost unnatural. There were times rare and scarce where Maar was exposed to such cases as this one. She moved in to attack, but right as she did so, the assassin suddenly flew past her, the force of it causing her to stumble.
"Damn," she cursed as she watched the woman fall to the ground and run off. Maar would have chased after her, but the sound of Morindo starting to moan and gasp notified her that her hunt would have to be on hold.
I'll deal with it later, she thought as she rushed towards her employer's side.
He looked at her with an expression mixed with pain and anger.
"She... got... away," he hissed, "This wasn't supposed to happen!"
"If you had left like I told you to, it wouldn't have had," Maar coldly replied as she checked his pulse with a frown.
"Still, I'm not over with her yet."
"Your job is to protect me," he replied before falling into a fit of violent coughs, "She's not an issue anymore."
Maar disagreed but instead of arguing, she ran off of the balcony, into the study, and shouted out into the hallways for Morindo's guards to carry him to a carriage that was to be prepared, immanently.

Two hours later, Maar was sitting outside the house of the old man the assassin had spoke off. It had taken them a while to find the place, but after asking around for a little while, it was easy to locate the man. He had quickly given Morindo the antidote, and he was now attending to his bedside as the fae was instructed to at least protect the perimeter. She watched as the sun began to set, her arms folded as she leaned against the walls with a pout. On one hand, the fae was baffled. It was rare she had met her match, and in such a queer human woman... She couldn't help but to break into a wide and eerie grin.
It truly was a blessing meeting you, she thought.
The fae's hands slipped towards her knives. She was eager to face that assassin again, and soon. She had so many questions and quite some unfinished business to take care of. Of course, that woman could be anywhere, but that didn't seem to phase the fae one bit.
