The Scathachian Sanctuary had endured a tense week, but with Isuelt and Trixie once again finding common ground with thanks to the ever-gentle wisdom of Jenai, the holy place was once more ready to serve its purpose: to protect.
And it would seem that this peace filled the Sanctuary not a day early, as turmoil would strike the battered Ravenlock clan once more. Isuelt had stopped briefly by the Inn that evening before heading home. However, as fate would have it, she would not make it home that night. Upon happening by the alley, she came across a bloody fight, which revealed the bloody and broken body of the Scathachian chef, Brian Ravenlock. Dodging the fray, she stooped down to heave him over her shoulder and carry him back inside.
As she laid him on the couch, his sister Jewell attended to his wounds as Isuelt looked on. There were many patrons buzzing about, not the least of which was the striking Natalia Gioccone. Natalia seemed to have an adverse effect on Jewell, sending her into a near hysterical state. So, Isuelt took hold of her friend and led her upstairs. Once in transit, Skyler, Jewell's new flirtation had made his way in and over to them. After getting into the security of the warm bedroom upstairs, Skyler helped confirm Isuelt's distaste for most men. It came out that he had been rough with Jewell and bruised her. Isuelt then decided that she would stay the night with her friend, to watch over her.
And in the middle of all of this, downstairs Brian was slowly coming unglued with all that had been happening to the Ravenlock clan. Vowing vengeance, spilling blood, making deals, the newly healed Ravenlock dragged a sore body and a broken spirit upstairs to his sister's room. And it was here that he asked for sanctuary. Brian asked for the protection of the Scathachians and for sanctuary. As he explained that he couldn't return home, Isuelt reassured him that he, and his sister if she could be convinced, would be under the roof and protection of the Scathachians for as long as they needed.
They would set out for the Sanctuary after a night of much needed rest. Brian and Jewell slept, while Isuelt stood sentinel. Tomorrow, the Sanctuary would have new house guests.
