Knock Knock!

Luxe knocked on the door to Khrona's office. She had a request and was hopeing he'd answer. She stood there waiting, a little nervous. Khrona was a strange dude and very powerful.

Khrona's door swung open, only to have Khrona reclining in his chair at his desk, yawning slightly.

"Yeeeeees?"

Luxe looked at the door. Damn self opening doors! She peeked into the door to see the yawning Khrona sitting behind his desk.
"Hey there. Still pissed?"

Khrona poked out his lips, his eyes darting to one side.

"I dunno. Maaayyybe. It depends on what you want to ASK me..."

"great..." Luxe muttered under her breath.

"I was wondering if you, honorable kage, would give Lin and I a mission. It would be fun!" Lu said as she stood really close to the door.

"That's it? Oh well that's really simple and easy to do. Yeah, I'd like that. I have a mission for you already...."

Khrona pointed over past the outskirts of the dusk village to a rather gray and dank place... Seemed to be pretty... Uh... Messed up.

"There. In that general area is the Black Swamp. I want you to go there and bring me a certain potion from the shaman who lives there..."

Khrona didn't say much else, but gave her a piece of paper.

"Just give this to her. And this bag."

Khrona slipped her the bag.

"But whatever you do... Don't. Look. At either."

Luxe nodded hesitantly. She was worried Khrona was going to get Lin and her killed but she wanted a mission even if it was from the kage that oddviously didn't really like her.

"Ok, I'll get Lin and go. Thanks a lot."

She said bowing slightly and walking through the door.

Khrona watched her as he exited, smirking for a moment, then quickly regaining a serious face. He knew what lurked in the Black Swamp and wanted to see how those two would deal with it...

"... Come back alive."

He smiled slightly and started to chuckled lowly about something he was thinking.

"... And don't leave without my potion..."
