The Mysterious Q

(Zrudread University- Black Rose Hunter Guild)

"Right this way please," a hooded figure led Sophie and Cleo down a winding path of stairs until they reached a simple wooden door.

Knock! Knock!

The figure calmly rapped their knuckles against the wooden frame until a lazy sigh was heard coming from the other side.

"You may now enter," the figure nodded politely at the two girls and then melted away into the shadows.

Sophie shot Cleo a look of concern before opening the door carefully and walking inside. 

The inside of the room was sparsely furnished with only a single chair in the center and an expensive rug whose material glowed eerily at regular intervals. 

A woman was sitting on the sole chair of the room while patiently observing her new guests. She had brown hair that flowed gently down her shoulders and hung over a sharp, angular face.
