Sirene Ignitis
The woman looked at Julia for several moments before smiling warmly, with none of the malice that was present just moments ago with the three men. Julia for her part just regarded the woman with some mild suspicion, but didn't raise her guard and merely kept her distance.
"You don't recognise me." She said, cocking her head slightly.
"Should I?" Julia asked. She looked at the woman carefully. She was wearing a long blue and white cloak with gold accents, and had dark brown hair that barely passed her ears. Or was it flame red? That was odd, it seemed to be two colours at once. "Why is your hair two different colours?"
The woman smiled even larger than before, and laughed heartily. "Well that's a first. Tell me, which one do you see?"
"It's like..." Julia started before trailing off and squinting. "It's dark brown, but it wants to be another colour. A bright flame red."
"Miss, you're the first person who's ever noticed my hair colour is inconsistent. Be proud. Now, what's your name? Mine's Sirene Ignitis." Sirene answered, laughing again, and sticking out her hand in offering.
Julia hesitated for a moment, before stepping forward and grasping Sirene's hand. "Julia."
"Well Julia, you look completely lost, am I right?" Sirene asked. "Middle of the Dragontail Mountains all alone and completely unarmed. Did you just drop out of the sky?"
"I mean... kind of?" Julia admitted, rubbing the back of her head. "I woke up under a bush not far from here and I don't remember anything about my past at all. I know some things, like I know I'm standing on a road, I know that's a sword on the ground over there and so on, but anything personal is like a void."
"Oh, an amnesiac! I love a good mystery!" Sirene exclaimed, smiling again. "Come on, tell me all about what you know while we walk."
"We?" Julia asked.
"Julia I'm not going to leave you alone especially after what you just told me." Sirene said, admonishing Julia and shaking her head. "I haven't had a travelling companion in a few decades, this'll be fun!"
"A few decades?" Julia asked, quickly grabbing the now discarded sword as Sirene began to walk down the road. "You look like you're 23 at most!"
"I may not look it, but I'm already well over a thousand." Sirene said, turning her head and flashing a quick grin as she walked.
"But how?"
"I'm a time wizard. Well more specifically, the time wizard. Singular. There can only be one and it's me."
"What's a time wizard?" Julia asked, curious.
"I can control the flow of time. That 'teleportation' you saw me do a couple minutes ago?" Sirene said, making air quotes with her hands. "Was just me slowing down time and walking up to them."
"So when you punched that man and he fell over dead on the spot?" Julia questioned, glancing back down the cut and seeing the man's body exactly where Sirene left it, before turning back to look at Sirene again.
"Part of the same school of magic but different." Sirene explained, cracking her knuckles. "How about you, though? How'd you turn into a bird? Or are you a bird that turned into a human?" Sirene grinned again, and winked this time.
"That, I do know the answer to. There's two spells I know for sure that I know, as strange as that sounds." Julia said, stumbling over her words. "That one's wildshape."
Sirene raised an eyebrow, and dropped her smile. "Wildshape is an incredibly rare spell to know."
