Driving down the unpaved road at sunset was the Dagger Corp JM2 Harlem owned by the Sabertooth Fae Mage. Luna was exhausted as she had returned from a long day handling each aspect of her life.
Her directly younger brother Leon required Luna's help preparing a clay for a special art project. While it was nothing seriously taxing, it was a large effort even with Luna's earth manipulative abilities. Once she was able to squeeze in a shower and a meal, her younger sister, Zina, needed help with a school project, or more aptly needed Luna's help retrieving it. The school that Gaia helped Zina get into loaned Zina a mortar and pestle. While experimenting with spice blinds in the backyard a dog was attracted by the scent and jumped at Zina, managing to scurry off with the pestle. After an hour of tracking, and fifteen minutes of negotiating with a dog, Luna managed to retrieve the pestle intact and lectured Zina about being careful with expensive items.
Soon after Luna was visited by her future sister in law, Leon's fiance Ema who begrudgingly had her own embarrassing request. Ema was in town house sitting for her flower loving aunt, however unlike Luna, Ema had no green thumbs. Luna had to stop by the house and revive all thirty plants either from the brink of death or just beyond, before hiding in a broom closet when Ema's aunt came home early. Luna then had to sneak out as Ema's aunt would know just by seeing Luna in her house that Ema had failed in her duties, and she managed to just barely sneak away.
Then lastly and most stressful was her eldest brother Gordon had called her out to the middle of the woods. From what Luna remembered that Gordon was supposed to be at a camping bachelor party for one of his crew members. Gordon was hesitant to confess the details so Luna knew something was wrong and had rushed immediately to go towards the camp site, and right she was to be annoyed. Midst the drunken hijinks, alcohol got spilled into camp fire and grills setting the area around ablaze and there was a lot of shoving, signs of tavern brawling, and various cuts. Luna had to treat burns from minor to third degree, cuts, stab wounds, lacerations, two castrations, revive three of eleven men from death, reattach two limbs, and neutralize liters of alcohol. Luna agreed not to tell all their spouses so long as they all agree to avoid the hijinks. Luna thought she was done with chaos at this point but oh was she wrong.
Meanwhile as Luna was going about her day, a representative of the Magic Council had come to Ace of Spades with an urgent request due to a recent epidemic of demonic disturbances pretty close to a village. They requested any Sabertooth member and waited at the bar, however they only want member of higher power so they turned away any newer member. They expressed the urgency as the day dragged on and with no takers after a few hours the guild had called upon a random qualifying member to take up the duty. After painstaking process of elimination and a power of veto in play, Luna received the call on her way back to Ace of Spades. Luna was annoyed but she didn't dare refuse, so she drove to the Red Dragon Inn, forgetting to lock her doors and trunk as she hurried in to meet with the Magic Council's representative in a private room.
Luna was informed that a massive demonic energy had appeared recently and was spreading around an area, getting close to a village. The explanation was not immediately known and the magic council was concerned for the village, especially as there were strange sightings. There were strange demonic animals that were more dangerous then normal ones, the reports theorized that the demonic mana's source was somehow infecting the wildlife and thus was the secondary reason for the urgency. To make matters worse while the midafternoon was approaching evening, the area in question was at the very least a good hour's drive and Luna would have to leave immediately. Annoyed that she had little time for preparation, she ventured to the local market for apple juice and beef jerky for the road before returning to her car.
The road was long and the one thing Luna was grateful for was that there was no traffic the whole time save one or two horse driven carriages. Luna watched the road lit by the amber sky, sighing. Her gaze only parting from the road to check the GPS on her ilac inside the dashboard slot. When the shade of the trees was starting to obscure her sight she turned on the headlights. At this point Luna was focused only on getting the job done, or at the very least being in a position where she could set up camp and sleep in her car before finishing this job.
Almost seventy minutes after leaving Ace of Spades, Luna pulled over and parked off the main road and shifted her car into park before turning on an internal light. She leaned back her seat for a moment and sighed exasperated before finishing off the small bottle of apple juice she brought for the road. "Should I store the car on the space station?" She said looking at the magic watch on her wrist, considering the option before not even wanting to bother with it. "Well, time to deal with this noise. After all, only the Magic Council asking me to hunt down something that resonates of my natural predator after I had a long day..." She said to no one as she got out of the car and stretched her arms. "Alright, no more Shirain damn surprises..."
