"That works I'll follow you in the shadows I can't be afford to be seen more or less but I thought to be polite rather then a creepy stalker like person when trying to talk with someone." she said as she waited for her to start walking before sinking back into her shadow so that she was not seen more then she already was.

"Uh...sure?" Esmeralda's voiced wavered a bit on the chick's offer. O-kay. This was definitely NOT a parlor trick. This girl knew some kind of magic, and it involved using shadows as some kind of possessive manuever. "You're not going to, like, puppetmaster me, right?" Esmeralda whispered through gritted teeth, "If you plan on doing that, you can kiss your shadow ride goodbye."

"Oh no I can control shadows in inanimate objects. Have yet to figure out the whole people controlling thing yet besides it be weird. I like to be the one to kill someone not make them kill themselves takes away from the fun of the hunt and such." she said as the reached the building and she left Esme's shadow "Sorry about that but the building make it hard to move here unlike at my cabin where its surrounded by trees. Not to mention if I'm seen I could be arrested for merely being what I am."

"Let me guess," Esmeralda crossed her arms, "you're some kind of being that likes to hang out in shadows." Jim had told her there would be some unusual people here. Looks like the chick was one of them. And Princey must not like them because of some vendetta. Stupid. Why couldn't people just get over some mistunderstanding. This was why Esmeralda never got involved in wars; especially given how the first thing she heard was this place was at war. All she cared about was getting home and having fun along the way. "And Princey there has some bounty on your head. Honey, that sob story's been told to death." Esmeralda looked at her bangles idly.

"Well..." she said with a grin elongated fangs shown "I am one of the higher ups in the faction he hates not to mention my race as a demon makes me hated by association." she said with a smirk "Although all I really do is train a handful of soliders I haven't been on the battle field in some time though. Something about my inability to keep from killing prisoners. Rather hate whining you see if you got time to whine you got time to fix whats making you whine in the first place in opinion"

Esmeralda glanced back wearily. Did she show her anxiety. Well...not really. The demon brought up some Esmeralda surprisingly identified with. What was the point of whining if that's all you're going to do? Just sit there? Nope. Esmeralda was "get-them-done" kind of gal. "I take it, regarding this whole war," she half-gagged on the word, "you're on the opposing side. The side that stands up for being pushed aside like rag dolls?"

"Our side is fighting for the equal treatment of people like me. my leader Thrax just wants his people to be treated with respect and while Princey boy sits up there all high and mighty he refuses to see the prejudices that plague Orachd and REFUSES to do anything about them. Well Thrax wants to change that....I'm not asking you to chose my side as that is your decision and one I will not fault you for, but I extend to you a hand of alliance my name is Megara and I am a shadow demon please to make your acquaintance" she said holding out her hand for her to shake it "I am willing to let you stay with me if you wish to get away from this place my home is secluded don't get too many visitors other then Thrax and Mok a vampire who is a doctor who tends to get herbs int he forest and stops by to have tea."

Was Megara just offering an opening to fight? Esmeralda pursed her lips. However, the way Megara was stating it, she sounded like it was Esmeralda's choice. 'I'm going to have to say no to your offer," she replied. "I'm not...from here. All that stuff I was telling Princey...I just improvised on the spot. My main priority is just to get home." She shook Megara's hand. "I'm Esmeralda, a gypsy with no special talents except street smarts and a bag of tricks." She even considered Meg's option of staying with her. Nah. "Um, I'll...stop by and visit whenever I can. You know gypsies; we can never be in one place for too long."

"Yea well the offer still stands Esmerelda if you chose to come visit that's fine it be nice to see a female face rather then males to be quite honest" she said with a smirk as she leans against a wall. Her eyes narrowed to the thing about her not being around here "If you don't mind me prying what do you mean you aren't from around here?" she asks with some curiosity.

Esmeralda sighed. Might as well get this out sooner than later. She just hoped that giving this information away wouldn't bite her in the ass later. Maybe when she met up with Kayley again, she could tell her that she found a possible way home. "I'm from a little dimmenson called Earth." Corny, but if Esmeralda could get away with it, why not? "I was part of a caravan called Gitan. Everything started out normal that day. All pf the sudden, after one of my tricks," Esmeralda showed Meg the flash powder without throwing it, "I find myself in some ornate cathedral which led to this very town," she gestured outward. "so now my top priority is to stay alive so I can get home."

"Interesting I mean don't get me wrong its hard for me to believe but as magic goes its not totally impossible just rather odd....hmmm..." she said truly pondering the dilemma set before her. "I'd say we should go visit Thrax and see if he has any info on what the cause of you showing up is but you don't want to take sides I can't take you...too many people would see you then you may not get the help you really need if he doesn't know..."

"I'm going out on a limb here and say...Thrax is like you." There was a hesitation in Esmeralda's voice. Esmeralda looked away, thinking. On one hand, this Thrax character could have some answers. On the other hand, if he was as bad as everyone said, it would be best to avoid him all together. "It's a touching offer," Esmeralda said finally, "and clearly you're wise to not want to see me give an impression, so I'll go with your word for it. I'd rather not see this character. So thanks but no thanks."

"He is a demon about a 1000 years older then me but its alright if you don't want to go we are even border-lining on the dangerous with me talking to you" she said biting her lip as she looked deep in thought. "Esmerelda while I can't be around to often and I'm sure you know the shadows are your friend I'll do my best to keep you from interesting Thrax as long as you keep Princey boy and his band of goody to shoes away from me deal?" she asked

'Like I ever want to see Princey again," Esmeralda scowled. Why bring him up again? All Esmeralda wanted was to do her on thing. Striking a deal with a demon was dangerous, but she had no other choice. "Fine." Esmeralda glared at the ground. "I didn't want to be part of his little posse anyways."
