Phryne Dithe
A once in a lifetime opportunity, no?
"Good," Phryne praised quietly, drawing her hand up a rough, coarse femur bone of one of her dying Animations and shooing off the last wisps of darkness that clung to it. Sticky strands of mock muscles and false flesh tying dry bones to each other.
She untied the Gorraskin pouch always attached to her belt, slipping the femur bone in with the others. A few were splattered with Siti Gital's blue blood but Phryne would clean those later. The most important fact remained: Once more, the Arcaenic Coins were in her possession.
Glass from the shattered showcase Phryne had crushed crunched beneath her heavy boots and the dark necromancer smoothly moved towards the balcony. She tapped in the passcode and the doors hissed open with a blip sound of warning. A wash of heavy, humid air slammed into Phryne and she pulled her cowl down low to shield her from the sun's blistering touch. The chilly air conditioning of the apartment contrasted heavily with the reality out here.
Whoever claimed beaches and sand were peaceful had never been to a desert, clearly.
Rolling sand… busy markets and high flying ships all rusted and worn. Phryne gazed down at all of it. All creatures and beings of all kinds destined to live and live and then die here.
No matter.
Phryne finished her job. Rolling her shoulders back, Phryne turned on heel. It was time to leave! She had a good feeling about Icar, the star system next to this one. She could sell the Executioner’s Carver next! It was an aggravation to keep it in her hold, it made so much noise!
