Normally only seen in long dresses, Maelstrom may have finally given up the fashions and lifestyle of the city dwellers. She is, after all, the firstborn daughter of Alphas of the Ahmoua-Wolves, a nomadic race of merfur that resembles a mixture of wolf and killer whale.
For so many years she has managed to fit herself into the role of being a well-mannered, sweet-tempered tavern cook, on the receiving end of flattery and flirtatious remarks.
Now, her beloved has disappeared with no explanation and no promise of a return. Her tavern has been burned. These are all things that sweet, gentle-tempered Mael would normally weather through and rebuild her life.
Sometimes, enough is enough. Maybe things don't work because they're not meant to. Maybe it's time to try something new. Or, in this case. . .something ancient.
