The guards escorted the seer into the temple, through its passages and into the reception room. She sat across from me, neck stretched with coils of bronze, arms tattooed and eyelids lined with a heavy layer of dark brown kohl. Her hooked nose bore a silver hoop and her hair was braided and swept back beneath a fringed veil. Her tawny skin reflected the light, glancing off her angular chin, sharp cheekbones, temples and arched brow bones. Her fingernails were very very very long, so long that they curled out to the side, so long that they resembled stiletto blades, so long that she had to pick up objects with the second digit of her fingers.

She cast the bones upon a silken cloth edged with golden trim. Knuckle bones and vertebra. Unsatisfied with the results, she grimaced and withdrew a copper mirror from within her satchel. It was round and polished to a shine. She poured several drops of oil onto its surface and began to scry.
"They are in hell," she proclaimed.
"They are in great danger."
"And this is news? I told you to tell me something that I DIDN'T know," I growled.
She peered again at the mirror.
"They return now. They have found him," she announced.
"Alive or dead?" I asked.
She peered again.
"He may be living, he may be dead," she waved her hands about in the air.
"Is a vampire, vampiro, diablo, demonio," she said. "Difficult to tell with them."
I nodded slowly. She looked again.
"Ah! Something you did not know. Your mother's house is in danger."
"My what?" I paused.
"Her house, comunidad, in the dark world, is falling. Coming under attack."
I smiled.
"Now that is something I surely must not miss. When?"
"Three days times."
I pressed payment into her palm. I had to prepare. Oh, to make the killing blow!
