Power gaurdians thread-And anything related (I'll start)

Part One:Feryl watched as the green, glittering liquid sloshed around in the bottle. It was Deadlier than Liquid Wildfire, one of alchemy's most dangerous substances, and purer than the elixir of life. Yet someone decided to abandon it in the desert. One week of experimenting, and she still couldn't categorize it. Frustrated, she let out her breath in one great gust, and shoved the stray strands of her wavy brown hair out of her clear-green eyes. "Hey,you!" Feryl looked up to see a tired looking woman framed in the doorway, a baby balanced on her hip, another child clasped firmly in her hand. "When's that show of yours starting? I've been waiting for ages." Feryl blinked. The Cabinet of curiosities. She'd completely forgotten. Forcing a smile, and molding her voice into a cheerful pitch, she stood and walked the family out, bracing herself for another day filled with people and false smiles.

By the end of three shows, scores of excited people, all clambering to touch her very delicate inventions, and several loud tantrums, Feryl was completely sick of it. "Out.Out!Show is over. Bye! Go do something else with your life-" After she managed to shoo the last remnants of the persistent crowd, she stalked back to her trailer and slammed the door. No later than an hour had passed when a firm knock came from outside. Feryl groaned. "I'm Not Here!" She yelled towards the door. "Come back in another fifty years and I'll be happy to see you, seeing that I'll probably have kicked the bucket by then!" A faint rustling greeted her words, then,"In the name of the Authority, and the Brazen Enquiry Guild, we command that Feryl DuEll opens her door!" She rolled her eyes before slowly dragging the door open. A stately woman with a pinched face swept in, flanked by two guards. Like a queen surveying the work of a servant, she slowly looked around the small room. Feryl instantly decided that though all people were bothersome, this woman would be particularly annoying. The woman finally turned back towards her, her face pinched eeven further than before. "I am Cornelia Hornshaw, president of the Inquiry Guild. I have been informed that you recently found a vial of great importance in the desert. If you would be so kind as to hand it over..." Feryl leaned back and crossed her arms. "Why would I do that?" Cornelia let out a huff of impatience. "Lately there have been attacks made by a griffin, as you should know. Many lives were bought, and property destroyed. This would never have occurred if we had had the serum. Now there has been word that a certain animal, a badger, who will wreak havoc just as the griffin did. And this time, if you refuse to hand the serum over, all the casualties will be on your hands." So she's blackmailing me, is she? Well two can play this game. Feryl kept her face Ina mask of indifference. "And?" She said. Cornelia fisted her hands before taking a deep breath and uncurling her fingers. "I know that you have met some animals, some beasts, soon after you found that serum. Not only will they keep on bothering you, until you hand it over. And as we all know, animals do not have the capacity to negotiate like I do. They will soon resort to violence." And I suppose you won't. But it was true, Feryl thought. She had been interrogated more than once. Cornelia leaned in, her fur collar brushing against Feryl's arm. "And, as a sign of our alliance, I will share with you what the serum is really capable of." Feryl stiffened. Cornelia's face iced over, a sharp edge appearing in her smooth voice."But first, you hand over the vial."
