Juniper's Root
[Juniper's Knot][Quest]
You dream of fire, and the scent of cracking flesh and bone. It's a restless night's sleep, with that- But at the same time, with the fire so near you can't help but feel it's warmth.
Then you wake, and gaze into eyes like polished gold.
Yesterday, when you had woken up, the lady had been cold and angry- You're still not sure why. But it seems like her good temper from the previous evening had held true through the night- She doesn't quite dance as you move along, but she constantly seems like she is about to.
As she leans over and sniffs a flower, you admit it privately to yourself- You really don't get fiends.
That thought stops you cold. You'd almost forgotten about it, having been with her overnight- But the lady is a fiend. She's got horns and pointed ears, even- Although the quick double check you can't stop yourself from making does reveal a complete lack of cloven hooves. Still, how are you going to explain this to your mother? Days late from a trip to the market, and you coming home with a demon instead of that idiot horse and the spices you'd been sent for.
Urgh... You're such a fool.
[] Wait, the lady had said something about filing her horns off before- But then, what of the ears? She can't exactly cover them with hair so short.
[] There's an abandoned barn near the edge of town. Maybe you can hide her there? Eurgh, you have no idea how she'd respond to that though...
[] Think think think, there must be a way to solve this... [Write in option!]

[] What is this I don't even
[] Huh, yeah, sure. Go ahead.
