West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

It would be rather difficult to learn a new power that one wasn't familiar with or knew how to work. The majority of her powers she didn't know either, but she took the time to learn how to control them. Her mate and herself were one of the most powerful Weres or supernatural creature among the city. It took years for the curly-haired woman to master her crafts. Each one was more useful than the next, the she-wolf grateful to have powers that could actually be used to not only help her, but help others as well. That the woman had no idea where to begin with controlling her own powers was troublesome. For a moment Raven did feel some sympathy for the woman, in addition to her plight as to not having any friends within the area. When she first came here to the city she had no friends either, the woman never having friends in the first place. However, all that changed one night here within the West District along the docks. That was where she met her first friend, now mate, and she was grateful for that night they met. Perhaps, this witch would be grateful for tonight, that is, if she had any intentions of making friends. As they walked she listened attentively to the witch beside her. Nodding thoughtfully, somber eyes flicking towards the woman and then back to the destination ahead. Weakly she muttered gently.


"My family...I mean, I understand, truly I do."


Raven understood what it was like to be beaten. Of course the reason behind it wasn't necessarily because of a power. Rather it was a fear of her curse. She couldn't blame them. After all it was natural for those that didn't understand what they were afraid of. What they did to her was wrong, that she would agree to. Raven couldn't not explain to the witch her own issue, not in full detail at least. She didn't know the woman that well and she didn't feel comfortable explaining everything to a complete stranger. So, she did the best that she could do and at least admit that she understood, perhaps far better than anyone else she would meet within the supernatural city. After explaining the different parts of the city to the woman, her dial titled to the side as she heard the name of a witch she was looking for. Raven hardly knew anything about the local covens or families here. Though if the name was important she would at least recognize it. It wasn't a family than ran their own business or dabbled in other businesses, so that route wouldn't work. With a shrug she shook her head sadly.


"The name does not sound familiar to me, I'm sorry."


Raven would have liked to help the witch in her search for this particular witch family. It would have surely made the witch happy, but there was only so much Raven could. At least she was taking the woman to a safer place to rest her weary head and begin her search. Emmy was not pack. Emmy was not bound to her. However, Raven was one of those souls that wore her heart on her sleeve, and she would do whatever it took to help others. It was a terrible flaw, and yet, it was a flaw that helped shape the she-wolf. It was the question about knowing if anyone had her power that caused her eyebrows to furrow. She could not recall of anyone she knew that could control the weather, least of all storms. It would be a special gift. For a moment she thought quietly to herself trying to find some kind of solution that would benefit the woman. There were two ideas she had in mind, and either one could lead to the solution Emmy needed, or not. Chances were both were 50/50. With a shrug of her shoulders she responded, though her voice held a hopeful tone.


"No, I don't, but I'll keep an ear out. The witch I am bound to can do things with water. It isn't like yours, but that doesn't mean you can't learn from her. My mate however, he can mimic powers, so he may know how to use yours. Would you want to meet one of them?"



As they came closer to their final destination, turning at another corner, the she-wolf took her hand out of her pocket to extend it, in a friendly handshake.


"My name is Raven by the way."
