Swapped Fate

Adania Nation in Year 975, 26th year under the reign of Emperor Fausten III. The province of Evindrear, Adania Nation.

MISS JOCELYN. Madam Felicity was quite the eccentric bird. Not in the actual sense of multicoloured feathers and odd coo-squawks, but in the character sense. For instance, why would she drag me out at five-thirty in the morning to catch a more eccentric bird, whom we would have still met had we set off at seven?

"The seer sees at certain auspicious times, you see, Josy," Madam Felicity chirped as she trotted over the dark street, her short white heels clanking with a consistent fast tempo against the cobbled stone.

I scurried after her in my most graceful manner. My steps were silent, courtesy of the lack of shoe heels, but my mistress was still faster. Maintaining my grace proved a challenge, as one could not quite keep the swan-like demeanour while chasing after an energetic hyperactive middle-aged woman.
