<p> Saelina has had no say in her life, thus far. She's spent the last decade barely eking out a living, on the outskirts of Mahlein, courtesy of her former fiancée and his father, who've pushed her further and further towards starvation. </p> <p> She has done things most people would find beneath them and still she stands. </p> <p> Things change when she finds a wounded sorceress in the woods and decides to help the woman in the hopes of a hefty reward. </p> <p> Ezeas is a Nyxan scout, sent out to retrieve an important weapon, believed to be in the possession of a crafty sorceress. </p> <p> His country is on the brink of war and needs the help of the dragons, only given to those who posses a bit of the mystical beasts' essence </p> <p> .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </p> <p> "If you did not have to limit yourself to...anything. What would you wish for? What is your truest desire, Saelina?" </p> <p> "Power." </p> <p> The answer came without deliberation or pause. </p> <p> "The power to never starve, to stand on my own, without someone holding me up. To reject whomever I want, whenever I want." </p> <p> Tahlisa's gaze became more intent and she moved close to her rescuer. </p> <p> "Say you had that power, right here, right now. What would you do?" </p> <p> Saelina smiled cruelly. It was a wholly new expression, yet it somehow made her features terrifyingly beautiful, Tahlisa realized. </p> <p> "I'd burn down the Tower and force the Harrows to watch as their home, their legacy turns to ash." </p>
