On the edges of Fiore, a dark guild by the name of Black Enigma resided, out of the way of the councils reach. It was hard to find, being located in the side of a cliff and if it was found, the discoverer risked the possibility of death from a river of frigid water and rocky spikes if the fall to the river wasn't enough to kill you. Not many people dared to venture this far out of Fiore and those who did where considered mentally insane and were never seen or heard from again. Black Enigma consisted of three buildings built beneath the edge of the cliff, hanging up side down and only accessible by the many bridges connecting the buildings together. Large birds were used to transport mages in and out of the guild or to shield the guild with their massive bodies, the largest one about 6'5 in height with a wingspan of 29 feet, black feathers never ceasing to cover the guild in a shroud of darkness.

A loud caw was heard by the curvaceous woman known as Evalyn as she looked up, shielding her eyes from the sun shining through the curtain of birds. She straightened, her hair cascading down her back as she screwed shut the lid of her water container, securing it to her hip before walking forward, a bird by the name of Plague landing and lowering its head to the ground, allowing its passenger to dismount the dark saddle that rested in the fluff of the birds dark feathers.

"Lord Saytas." She said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she bash fully approached the attractive man who had landed in front of her. "It's nice to see you again." Saytas looked at her, a kind smile sending shivers down Evalyn's spine.

"Evie, it's nice to finally lay my eyes upon your beautiful stature." He said charismatically, walking forward to take the busty females hand. She blushed, looking up at her masters handsome face. "You've grown since I've seen you last."

"It has been almost four months, my lord." Evalyn murmured, bowing her head respectively. Saytas pursed his lips, removing his hands from Evalyn's.

"Has my father done what was needed to be done?"

"Master Pierre has successfully administered the disease." Evalyn confirmed, causing Saytas to scoff.

"The old geezer should hand over the hard work to me and reside in that damn throne of his. Instead, I am forced to go on jobs that require me to be away from my favorite pet for long amounts of time." Saytas said this as he slowly ran his finger from Evalyn's temple the the underside of her jaw, causing the girl to swallow. His lips met hers for an instant before pulling away, dropping his fingers from her skin. "I'm going to speak with my father. Gather our team, could you Evie?" He asked. Evalyn licked her lips, eyes darting to the side.

"Yes my lord."

"Good." He said, walking off.

Evalyn watched him go, hands wrapped securely around her waist.

This is what she loved about the masters son. He was handsome, standing at around six-foot with broad shoulders, a toned body and a quick, charismatic tongue. Saytas was cunning, manipulative and absolutely, one hundred percent evil to the core and he never let anyone forget it. Having been Evalyn's first friend after his father had found her alone and brought her to the guild, she was used to dressing in ways that pleased him. She loved him. She knew he loved her.
