Given her petite stature, she ought to have felt a sense of caution. Short, light, and built of slender bone structure, she would objectively be easy to overpower and kill - but Genghis had taught her well, and Aurelia was not afraid.

Jaegar,she repeated.
I am Aurelia, the current Wisdom of my pack.

Many have arrived in this way,she said.
Myself included. What services do you offer? What are your skills?
