Austen rushed down the stairs. Shoot, I'm going to be late. She snatches two snack bars from her little brother and hurtles out the door. The villagers are pouring out of their houses right now as usual. In a matter of minutes, the streets are filled with people. Austen pushes past people, earning a long series of yells. The crystal lilies pop out of the ground and bathe in the sun.
Austen throws open the palace door. The guards look at her weirdly, like she's a horse standing on two legs. She uses her pass to open the dungeon entrance and races down. She skids to a halt in front of her sister and gives her a snack bar. She thanks Austen and says,"Do you have my assignment?" Austen reaches into her bag and flips through the folders. She pulls out one labeled "Cira Wind" Cira looks at the papers and frowns. "Dang, I wanted to be Electra. Hey, what's your's" she asks. Austen pulls her's out and looks.
"I have Electra. I'm guessing you have Austin."
Cira looks at her and nods. "Isn't it weird that he has the male version of your name?" They laugh and go off to their stations. How did I end up with the Spy Knight? "Hey, Cira, watch my post for me I have to hand out the rest of the folders!" Austen shouts. She can hear Cira's ok.

Austen walks backs to her post and waves Cira off. She slides down the wall and rests her head on her knees. She can hear crawling behind her. She turns around and sees a small girl about 3 feet tall. She had sparkling blond hair with bright blue eyes. She looked at Austen, fear in her eyes. Austen shifts her position and reaches her hand out. When Electra doesn't except she notices she's eyeing her sword. Austen takes the sword out and Electra scoots away. Austen sits it in the middle of the room. Electra looks at her for a moment and scoots closer. Once again Austen reaches out her hand. This time, Electra accepts. Austen rubs her on the head with the other hand.
"Can I go home now?" Electra mutters under her breath. Her voice was small and gentle. She buries her head in her knees. Austen reaches in through the bars and rubs her knees. This girl was the assignment. She was to gain her trust and make her trust her. Then she would house her with herself.
