Light flickered in front of rose, then passed her. The world bobbed up and down in a steady rythym. Another flikering light appeared ahead, and as it passed, rose turned her head to watch it. She felt a sharp pang in her neck, and her world dissolved once more into darkness.

In an underground cave off the shores near Barton Coast, a breeze carried the strong smell of salt water into the deep recess.
The man looked up and stared at the tunnel exit, staring intently at it as if physically seeing the change in the tides. It would be a matter of hours now until high tide peaked. And there was about an hour left until the tides would fill the entrance of the cave and make it impassible for at least six hours.
He turned back to the girl laying unconscious on the cot on the far side of the room. He was a short male, and to make up for it, he seemed to dress with a certain flair... he idly brushed a hand through his green to pink fade hair and straightened his red jacket.
He then went over to a stone table, the only one visible in the cave, and peered into a flask. The blue liquid in it had finally stopped swirling. He grinned and added the last ingredient needed. Turning back to the girl, he grabbed his cane and walked over to the sleeping girl.
"Rose, blueaecid's girl..." he mumbled. Checking the salve he had applied, he muttered an incantation.
Twirling his cane, he sauntered over to the flask on the stone table. Now a swirling purple, it was just about ready. Lighting a cigarette, he headed toward the cave exit. He grabbed a bag near the door, careful not to break the delicate wings inside. He hung up the shackes' keys on the wall, and walked down the tunnel.

A short while later, the man was standing outside the cave, staring at the sun falling below the horizon. Flicking his cigarette into the waters, he flew off into the sky, away from the sinking sun. Back in the cave, the strange potion was now a violent red color, and had stopped swirling completely. Instead, it was turning gaseous, and filling the cave at a tremendous rate.
