No restful dream would come to the pixie that night. Inara tossed and turned over the recent news she had been told; while she was away, her parents had vanished. No one is sure who did it or why, they do not know if magic was involved, a kidnapping; no one knew anything. The thought was unsettling and the Princess couldn't help but feel if she had been home, not off adventuring among humans, that this would not have happened.

Brows furrowed, the woman was covered in sweat as nightmare's plagued her mind. She felt herself getting warmer and warmer before she sat up suddenly in her bed, gasping. Inara fought to regain her surroundings, looking around slowly as her mind was still half asleep. She could see a light though, looking down at her clentched hand, she found where the source was. Just as she was about to open her hand, the light source heated up even more, the sudden burning feeling bringing out another gasp from the woman as she tossed the item to the ground. The glowing dimmed, only slightly. It was the royal earring she had been presented only days before.

Leaning down, the pixie reached for it and as her fingers brushed its crystal surface, the room exploded in light, only it didn't. Light flooded Inara's mind, blocking her from being able to see anything. She sat frozen in her dark room, though to her, it was brighter than the suns of their land.

"Hush child, do not be frightened," a soft voice told her, becoming louder as it drew closer. As the figure neared her, it seemed to block out the light and Inara's eyes widened at the site.

A woman in golden robes was walking towards her, she had tan skin that perfectly matched those robes and golden hair. "Hush child," the woman cooed, only this wasn't just a woman, Inara had learned much about Haph as her people held her in high regards. Afterall, they were pixies of light. Inara did not move as the woman lifted a hand, placing it on her forehead. "Hush and listen to my song."

If already being within her mind wasn't enough, Inara felt herself draw into the message deeper. Her mind was swept away in warmth, music and story. A flood of information and images rushed her as the music played. Then, in an instant, the light and music were gone, leaving Inara disoriented in her own bed, the earring once again in the palm of her hand.

She stared at the gem, trying to recall everything that she had just seen. Saren, she had to locate Saren. Jumping to her feet, Inara shoved the earring back through the lobe that it should have been dangling from in the first place. "Sneak out without the guards noticing?" She asked herself quietly, a smile on her face. "Easy peasy." She stuck her tongue out to herself as her size went from that a small human woman, to only seven inches tall. With a shrug, a pair of pearlescent wings appeared from her back and without a second thought, the tiny pixie flew out her bedroom window.

Inara had faith in a few things that were happening that night. The first was that the Goddess of her people had visited her and was entrusting her with saving them, plus many more. She had hoped that doing this would also open a clue to finding out what happened to her parents. The other thing was how oblivious humans were. Then again, many probably weren't looking for something as small as a pixie, almost as though they didn't pose as much of a threat.

Zipping around buildings and through the night sky, the tiny woman flew as fast as her wings could take her. She had been on the far side of town and didn't want to waste any time. As she neared the wall, she spotted two figures. Only, neither figure fit the description that they were told to seek out. Instead, there were two jackal looking creatures. Now hesitant at what this mean, Inara did not approach them, rather, she took refuge in the shadows of one of the oil lanterns that lit the streets at night.
