"Alisha Lennox. Our... prodigy."
"What? I'm not a prodigy and you know that. I'm a... test subject." Alisha was shocked by what Magnate Leto had just said."
"No. You, Alisha, are the Flareadon." As Magnate Leto said this, Alisha looked at her body frantically, expecting herself to be suddenly covered in fur. To her relief, nothing of the sort happened.
"Um, what does that mean, I'm the flareadon?" Alisha peered at Magnate Leto curiously, as if he was speaking gibberish. For all she knew, he was. "And where's the fork guy?"
"Ah, Alisha, you have much to learn if you wish to earn a place among the high scorers," was all Magnate Leto replied, before the ground rumbled beneath her feet and out from the ground popped...
a gnome.
"Hello, Miss Lennox." The gnome flashed Alisha a smile, baring her green teeth.
"Hello, miss... gnome?" Alisha felt no requirement for such niceties, but she played along anyway.
"I'm Flori. Miss Lennox, say the oath if you wish to join the Black Swan."
Oooookay. An oath, signing into the Black Swan.
"Stop. Alisha, signing into the Black Swan means pledging your utmost loyalty. Are you sure you want to proceed?" Magnate Leto gently reminded her.
"... I do. I will do everything in my power to help my world."
The box clicked open, revealing a simple monocle swan pendant.
"Miss Lennox?" Magnate Leto responded.
"Yeah?"
"Welcome to the Black Swan."
