introduction

I'm bowing to the elf and human in front of me and have been for half an hour along with all the other servants beside me. the one we call our master has forgotten all about us, but his son that's around my age is looking around, uncomfortable, waiting for his father to give us the order to stand up and be dismissed. I glance at the person beside me, it just so happens to be my best friend. She like everyone else that serves here including myself is an exile. She's in a form that looks like a human female with long black hair and fairly tan skin, her eyes are an ocean blue, which indicates her nature form is water based. She has a mark on her cheek which is of a Raven taking off in a circle, we all have one somewhere noticable, actually some have more than one somewhere on their body, but we all have at least one where everyone can see. Our master has finally decided to let us stand but not leave, in unison we straighten up to stand tall, our master looks around and picks three of us to follow them for the day, they start to walk off and he finally dismisses the rest of us. The masters son has hung back either not wanting to join in the conversation just yet or told he wasn't needed, but I don't care, I have work to do and prefer to not get a lashing or whatever punishment might come my way, so like everyone else I rush off to do my chores for the day.
