Rome:
A slim figure entered the room, a dimly lit torch in her hand. The flickering flame cast eerie shadows on the stone walls, as a booming voice resonated.
"You have arrived."
"Yes, my mistress," she rasped.
"What news do you bring from the land of the living?"
"They're getting worse. The rate of their expulsions is very swift. I've travelled far and wide following them. Kat is the real nuisance...she is a brave fool."
"Bah! You are too focused on the pesky casualties. Eyes on the prize, you know. Keep them away from the school."
She shivered. Her mistress did not know that they were already there.
"W-well, the carrier Griffins found them there. We couldn't send in reinforcements on time."
The mistress shook with anger. "Of all the incompetent..! Well, keep them from harm's way for now. Especially Persephone and Ember; Ember holds much potential, and Persophone is a...deadly beauty. Both will be oh-so-valuable, once they turn..."
"Yes mistress. I will not fail!"
"Like you have already?" The mistress glared at her, but she stared back as if she were made of stone.
"Very well. You are dismissed."
She turned away from her and exited the room. The door slammed shut with the finality of a tomb.
