The elven house maid had just finished pinning up the last of the freshly washed whites.
She gave a satisfied sigh as with a few pulls of a cord she hoisted them into the air to join the other tidy rows of flapping laundry,
all looking like a cluster of strangely shaped clouds hung up to dry against the brilliant blue sky above the cobblestone courtyard.
It was then that a strange sound caught the attention of her tall acute ears. A low, almost buzzing-droning sound, which was growing steadily louder by the second.
The elf turned to look as a small surging blur of orange, yellow and black hurtled over head,
a powerful downdraft by what appeared to be brilliant amber wings causing the laundry to dance an airborne jig on the lines as an enthusiastic call echoed behind it
“Come on guys or we’ll be buggin'late!”
The maid clutched hold of her mobcap with awe as a sudden flurry of figures followed in the autumnal coloured streak’s wake,
each leaping across the wide rooftop gap of her master’s residence to the next in their own-almost all-elegant way.
A grinning short haired female half elf, next a large yet sleek midnight blue tabaxi and finally a muscular armed blonde human gentleman,
the latter of whose ill-timed leap due to his mid-air stall to flash her a glance of a dazzling smile suddenly caused him to
to become entangled in a frilly nightgown, Hitting the next rooftop in his new be-gowned form and disappearing from view with apologetic muffled cursing.
“Oh bloody hell!-S-Sorry! Can’t stop!!-I-I’ll bring this back!!!”
The fairy adjusted her trajectory as she hummed over the array patch work tiled rooftops and spires of Daring heights as the slowly rising sun
awakened their colours and warmed the casing of her dark beetle legs.
As she gave an airborne twirl over Eclipse Road she saw an emerging group of adventurers from her favourite digs The Three-Headed Dragon,
likely off on an exciting quest to some far off corner of the Dawnlands to battle some epic buggin’beasts or maybe even attend a royal ball or two-you never knew with this place!
No time to stop and find out though, she and the Rooftop Beetle crew had their own urgent engagement today and they couldn’t be late!
Was it an important delivery run for Fort Daring? Not yet!
Well perhaps this was one of her many morning rooftop work out routines for the crew? Nope not today!
What was reason for all the excitement then?
Flittin’simple!
Paradise Frost had a new selection of breakfast pastries on offer from today and she wanted to be the first to try them fresh out of the oven!
After all, a paradise pastry or two a day keeps the hungry beetle at bay!
At least, till tomorrow...
