"Charming lady," Kanu says, dripping with sarcasm. "For you, despite your happy marriage, she would be," warns Ifrit seriously. "If it were still kept on the Academy grounds, she would already have the wand, as most of its warders are male." Summer Wind bristles, although she knows that some fey have that power. "This is both Kanu's mission as well as mine; I will not simply send him home because he is a man." Again she asks a simple, but important question: "What is she?" "An Huldrefolk."

"What for? Your kind don't use them, either, do you?" inquires Summer Wind. "She's not..." and the young woman sounds extremely tired, "...trying to take over the world?" Ifrit laughs. It is an odd sound, and gives credence to the idea that her name would be unpronounceable by the human mouth. "No, she wants you all to start wars to eradicate yourselves. Then only those of us who are purely magic would survive. Therefore, she sells these items to the highest bidders among bitter enemies."

"I know about the individual I am tracking," Ifrit says with confidence. "You know about the thing that she is seeking. The mages of the Arcane Academy would never in a million years tell me detailed information about this dangerous object, and as for you, I doubt you would even recognize the felon I am chasing as trollish. She is very fair, and beautiful, and comes from north of the inland sea. And she enthralls men as easily as breathing. Right now she wishes objects of magical power."

"What sort of partnership did you have in mind?" asks Kanu quickly, before his wife can either accept or deny Ifrit's help. "I am a bounty hunter. Of course, I would split the reward, in whatever form it is most convenient for you to take payment in, as we do not have any use for money ourselves." "That is an interesting offer," Summer Wind says, knowing perfectly well how the game is played although she dislikes gambling as entertainment. "What do you have, then, that we need, and vice versa?"

"Probably, yes," Ifrit responds. "The experience leaves an indelible mark on one." She frowns. "I was so imprisoned for 500 years once," and the djinn's look turns feral. "My revenge on the genie who was supposed to be on guard was... horribly inventive." "I see," says Summer Wind, sounding a bit reminiscent of her sister Smoke Cat. "And you have chosen to share this with us because...?" "I suspect we may be looking for the same source of... imbalance and evil. We could work together..."
