There are things known between heaven and hell and apparently places not to be tread beyond.
~Lyllianne at the First High Counsel
"She is of your blood. Tend to it, and come not to me again until it has been taken care of."
Thus she had been sent from his presence this time, not with a list of souls to collect in payment of debt. This time she had a family matter to attend, and that could be even more dangerous. Most souls allowed themselves to be taken by their own greed and avarice. The one she was to go after this time did not tend to give himself easily to either.
She was not physically the strongest of her kind. She had survived and thrived as long as she had using what she had been granted upon her creation. They had often served her well. She had taken what had been gifted her and used them to full advantage. As a result, she often drew her prey to her, much like a spider did with the web it wove.
Looking over her shoulder from where she stood gazing out the window, she noted the latest of such workings as she did upon the world. One, whose name had been given to her, but whom she had not yet been able to corner. His sins had been great indeed, and it was beyond the time to collect on that debt. However, he had managed to maintain an elusiveness with the help of a well-paid mage. Charms and wardings really could be her bane sometimes.
Her true reason for being in Rhy?Din, this time, however was completely different. Few came to the attention of great powers unless they touched something of greater importance to them. This one had, and he was still an unknown. Neither those in heaven, nor those in hell like unknowns. It tends to make them nervous.
She had already sent word to the counsel that she would soon return with this debt collected. However, she had one more to pay visit to before she would be able to make that return. Fortunately, she had been able to sense her granddaughter's tug upon familial ties and that would grant her the opening she needed to accomplish her task.
So it was, that she stepped into shadows and gained transport to where she knew she might find her prey.
