Shuffling through the financial records of her brothel, Jamie saw that business was good. And not just in the sense of material wealth, but in the immaterial?the gradual corruption of human souls. By providing Rhy'Din City with an avenue to explore its vices and lusts, she was ensuring herself a sizable collection in the future.
Replacing the books in a disorganized stack on the desk, Jamie stood from the chair and strode over to an open window. The night was a beautiful, clear one and the silver moon bore a similar shade to her pale silver gown. And one could have lost themselves by counting each of the stars that twinkled above.
Ah, if only Jade were around to share this moment with me, she thought with a small frown.
All peaceful it deceptively seemed, despite the web of corruption she had entangled throughout it. And among it was another evil?a familiar evil?boiling under the surface and awaiting to burst and unleash its thirst for bloodshed. She knew this other evil well, having run a few errands for it in the past from time to time under terms of a mutual pact. For a while, it had seemed to have utterly vanished from the city following a terrible storm, but now she sensed that it had returned.
How nice it would be to do business once again....
