No one here knows my true identity, no one but queen Levana herself. Immediately upon my arrival I am arrested and taken away. I don't bother struggling or fighting back, in fact I stay silent the whole way as two stone-faced guards drag me to the center of the castle. Standing before the throne room, I roll my eyes as the two guards check me from top to bottom for weapons. How stupid and naive do they think we are? The people here are dangerous, and anyone who's not living in a hole knows that on Luna even your hand can be easily turned into the instrument of your own destruction. Doing so would be easy, especially easy for Levana hence her status as the queen and all. The guards soon let me go with a hard shove and I step in a set of double doors leading to a room with nothing but a regal throne; it's dark rigid back facing me.

"Who is it?" asks a clear voice that sounds sweet and soothing like honey yet as crisp and clear as a terse whip.

I don't answer her question, and instead I reach out with my mind and get a hold of Levana's. Without turning around she pushes back and doesn't allow me to take complete control. She matches her powers to mind, I grit my teeth and concentrate as the silent battle continues.

Suddenly Levana stops abruptly and so do I. Her throne spins around and her perfectly glamoured face stares right at me. Levana racks her gaze up and down me making me feel a little uneasy, but not enough to break my own glare on her.

"I know you." she Levana, voice as stern as stone, and to confirm her accusation, I release my glamour of an old Erudite "Friend" of mine known as Jeanine to reveal to Levana, my true identity. Without another word I can tell that Levana already knows who I am and she isn't too happy about seeing me either. The expression on her face immediately drops and anger leaves her glamour flickering. Her grip tightens around the armrests of her throne and she shows more of her true appearance to me than she has ever shown to anyone since her coronation day.

" I am here to propose a deal with you Levana." I say bluntly with no emotion whatsoever in my tone.

" You help me take over Snow's kingdom, and I will help you." I say as silence gathers up in the room.

" I can easily help you destroy Snow's kingdom, but do you really believe that you are of any use to me?" Taunts queen Levana as if it isn't completely obvious already. Her kingdom is dying, and she is running out of resources fast. After years of erudite research and Abnegation labour, earth's natural resources  are almost completely restored

" Let's just say Levana, information travels fast..." I say this with just enough hesitation to make her suspicious. I know of her plans to destroy earth, and the only things stopping her are the Dauntless and the Factionless . Together with a group or Erudites they are too strong for Levana to take on by herself. She needs my help and she knows it.

" What makes you think that I would help you?" Levana says, with a glint in her eye signaling that she is finally up for negotiation. I pull my concentration back to the negotiation at hand.

"I know about your plans, and you know about mine, we both want power, so my question is why wouldn't you help me?" I say trying my best to make her think that I know more than I actually do. 

There is silence, as she thinks it over. Levana hasn't agreed too my deal yet and I am starting to get slightly nervous. Levana's expression suddenly changes from stern to slightly devious, and that's when I knew that the negotiation is over. Her voice rings loud and clear

"Do you have a plan Cinder... Cinder Blackburn, my dear...sweet... sister." She is so very sinister, and her false kindness disgusts me greatly. 

She has excepted... for now, but I know for a fact that she won't keep her word, she will betray me as soon as she gets what she needs, just as she has always done in the past, but that's ok, because this time I will do the same.
