Chapter 1: A little back round
In a time either long ago, or so far in the future that civilization crashed and had to start over, there was a city named Azarath. From the outside, it was beautiful to behold, and the people seemed happy. Inside the walls, however only those who held power were in any position to be happy. The others were slaves who were bred to work for the political officials and religious authorities. Their lives were expendable and their happiness almost unheard of. This is what Raven was born facing.
Raven's parents had been servants of the high priest, and as a result so was she. They were chosen by the Di Li based on their appearance, their strength, and their loyalty to the government in attempts to create a "higher," and therefore more attractive human race through selective "breeding". Her parents had all three in abundance. They had both died immediately following her birth and she was given to the Academe to be molded into the model "citizens" that her parents were.
Now Raven was 19 and in active duty in the Churches Palace. Despite the best attempts on the part of the Academe, she had never been as hard working or as dedicated as either of her parents, let alone the combination of the two, like the Di Li had hoped. What they hadn't realized, was that in most cases, for a child to be similar in personality to their parents, they had to be raised by their parents. That was why most of the servants coming from the academy were… less than model. She had been one of the most troublesome student the Academe had ever felt the need to work on. Any more disrespectful or disobedient and they would have given up entirely and just "sent her away", a term the Academe used when they sent a child to be killed by the Di Li, usually by way of military.
She had been lucky to serve anyone, but that didn't mean she was likely to be happy.
A/N: Yeah, I know, rather short isn't it. Anyways, its just the backround info and I promise that the next one will be longer.
