The large figure passed by the store once more and headed west down a narrow alley, looking over his shoulder quickly to see if anyone had followed him before turning his attention to a small and almost invisible keyhole carved into a nearby stone wall. He produced a small bronze key and inserted it into the lock, twisting it as the sound of the tumblers opening and dropping could be heard to those who moved close to the wall or to those with supernaturally sharp hearing as the ground below slowly slid open to allow entry. The figure removed the key and went down the staircase with the chest tucked under his arm before the ground slid back and the snow covered up almost every trace of the hidden passage.
Amelia pauses and thinks for a moment, before shrugging and following the man. She had yet to find where the Inn was herself, so she may as well take him up on his offer.

The best way to return to original form is *i trow some salt on my hands and i blow it as the salt makes you blind for a second i return to my original form* if nobody look at the body it will return to it original state and it can be used a lot of times in a row so its pretty good as a camouflage *i smile and hand some water for your eyes*

She gave the man a nod as he walked away to his own room. After taking a quick look around, she walked up to the innkeeper and placed a few silver coins on his counter. "Just a room for tonight, whatever is available."

*I go to cover my face as you blow salt in it. Luckily, my reflexes are just quick enough to avoid getting any of it in my actual eyes. I only learn of what was blown at me as I taste it on my lips.*
"Really, salt!? Crazy woman... that could have been actually blinding. Well, for a human anyway..."
*My hand moves over my face and magically collects the salt. Gripping my hand around it, I convert it into a small cube and toss it aside. Still taking the water, I drink a sip of it and clear my throat.*
"-Ahem-... thanks. Next time just ask me to turn around. That could certainly prove useful for the queen's spies. Nice work, Liza"

The man set down the chest as he murmured a few words, several torches lighting the room he was in as a result of the magic. It illuminated a large room filled with smithing tools, a forge, a workbench meant to fashion armour, and a grindstone for sharpening blades. Asides from that were a number of weapon racks and armour stands that were now bare, as he had given the contents of his personal armoury when the need arose over three hundred years ago. Something he made note of as he still needed to be payed back for the weapons and armour that were lost to the ravages of time. He started the forge and took off his armour and removed his weapons, opening the chest to reveal multiple ingots and materials worth much more than what he had payed, but his use of a favour had more than made up for the actual price. Those with keen enough senses would be aware of the magic power that started to emanate from below the city, a rhythmic pulse that radiated Old Magic that only few would recognize as the large figure set to work on repairing his gear to their former prime.

*As you go to the closet and pull a dressing screen between us, I take a seat on your bed and lean against one of the bed posts.*
"Agreed, the queen should be informed of this new asset, even if it still needs further testing. However, I'll be accompanying you until we can see her. Don't need you assuming my form again and causing any trouble."
*Glancing in your direction, I faintly see your silhouette behind the screen as you change. The way you move is seductive, almost like a dance, as you change your clothes. I could scry a vision of you as you change in the reflection of the water in my cup, but out of respect, I merely enjoy your shadow.*

*Standing from the bed, I look you over and admire your outfit. Letting out a little whistle, I smile at you and walk to where your standing. My right fingers softly caress your left ear and run down to your earring.*
"You look great. You getting all dressed up for an audience with the queen, or just for me, Ms. Sparkles? Since I will be personally escorting you, why don't I dress to match?"
*Opening my palms in a little bit of showmanship, I alter my astral clothing so it has a matching purple trim and a matching set of earrings.*

After a short conversation about the rules of the Inn, Amelia swiped the keys to her room from him, wasting little time in finding it and shutting the door, wanting a moment to herself. Taking off her coat, she hung it on a nail on the door, leaning her rifle against the wall next to the door.
The room itself was small, only one bed in about an 12 foot room squared. A dresser was placed underneath the a window to the second floor room, and from it she could see the streets below, or what little she could with the snowstorm. Taking a seat on the bed, she crossed her legs and closed her eyes, taking a moment to think and feel the city's energy itself.

"Absolutely, Liza. I last saw her majesty leaving the dining hall. She is most likely walking the halls or addressing her royal duties in the throne room."
*Walking together, hand in hand, we descend the stairs of your tower. I lightly run my thumb across your knuckles. Once we're at the bottom we walk the main halls until we come across a guard stationed by where I spotted the queen earlier. When asked where she is he says he overheard she might go into town to make an appearance for her subjects.*
*Turning to Liza,* "What do you think we should do? Should we try and meet her majesty during her outing, or wait for her to return?" *he then smiled coyly* "Either way, I'll be right here beside you until she knows about your new invention."

You could feel that the city's energy would best be described as an active hive of bees, as it constantly buzzed and grew with the magical energy of the occupants. However there was an anomaly that would probably seem small to inexperienced sorcerers who felt the energy, but you were able to see the full extent of the anomaly as it stretched across the entire city.
The energy certainly didn’t feel evil or malicious, but the power was equal if not greater then the city's energy, the fact that it was hidden rather well meant that it was being masked.
The source of the energy was unable to be found, and what it was remained a mystery to you as there were few who knew of the magic, and even less who wielded it due to any records of it being locked away or burned to ashes.
What was clear is that it had a pattern, and it felt like someone was using a hammer, and the magic pulsed with each strike from the hammer. The amount of skill and magical prowess required to wield power of such magnitude would only be achievable by few in the entire kingdom, but the person or entity responsible was clearly in the city as it extended no further than the city walls.

The primal beats of the hammer, the life force of all the lives in the city of all different kinds, there even seemed to be a gathering of a few larger magical energies in a house across town, but what really caught her attention was the intricate and elegant energies around the castle of Liedeven. Most large cities had magical rulers, this one seemed older than most though.
Taking a few moments to sit in the hot room, Amelia got up and grabbed her coat again, throwing it back on and slinging her rifle over her shoulder and heading for the door, not before she began to mask her magical energies.
