Rae's Reputation

Even the Maids got a laugh out of that. The spies and stealth agents of the Palace were supposed to be among the finest in the world, and regular attempts were made to poach them for elite foreign forces.

But the Guard Captain hadn't mentioned any chance of Rae being injured, only a concern that she might consider them a food product.

"It seems that you have a fearsome reputation, Lady Bloodbath." One of the maids noted, then slowly processed the actual name that she had spoken.

"Oh, you haven't seen me yet, have you? Just this human form." Rae noted.

The maids looked confused as Rae jumped back into an open area of the room and transformed back into her natural form, which brushed the ceiling with its back, even with her legs crouched at her usual standing height.

"Dragon Gods above, what sort of power is that?" One of the maids asked as Rae shifted back into her usual ebony skinned humanoid indoor form.
