Ish

I stood in the quiet alleyway, taking a second look at the stunning woman who had just materialized in front of me.

She had caught up to me in less than three seconds, vanishing from a crowded plaza and reappearing fifty yards down a secluded stone path without making a single sound. I felt a brief flash of surprise before quickly shaking it off, after all, this was Uruk, a city where dragons glided between skyscrapers and ancient magic hummed through the pavement. A high-speed movement spell was hardly a miracle.

Looking at her up close, I had to admit she was utterly breathtaking.
