"Milady, it is time to awaken." A heavily armored woman, with silver hair flowing down her back, stares down at a young girl, curled up in bed with decently long soft-green hair. The young girl yawns as she awakens, amber eyes staring up at the woman.

"Mh... Good morning, Sophie..."

"Milady, it's time to leave. You're late."

"Late for what...?" The girl replies as she yawns once more.

"The meeting with the ruler of Regna Ferox."

"What does that old hag want..."

"I am not old!" A shout sounds from outside.

"Milady, I recommend we get moving..."

The young girl named Meada sighs and stands, stretching and going over to the bedside to retrieve her sword. Why she wears a sword when she's a manakete? Who knows. Regardless, she straps the sword to her side and stretches once more, showing off her rather scantily-clad (and flat-chested) body.

"Lets get going, Sophie."

"Yes, milady."

The two walk out of the castle they live in, buried in the depths of Ylisstol. As it would happen, Ylisse had had a change of royal family occurring, a family of manaketes taking over. Meada was the daughter of the current Exalt, some five thousand years older than she. Meada takes great pride in being over three hundred years old in reality, despite looking like a twelve-year-old girl. It's just how her kind is. Standing outside the castle is a woman on a black horse, with a sword resting against her shoulder and a tome buried in her robes. This was Karsheva, the current ruler of Regna Ferox.

"Good morning, Karsheva."

"I don't see how your retched mother trusts you to speak to me when all she does is laze around in the castle all day and-"

"Stay your words, milady. The Exalt is constantly busy with cleaning up your messes."

"How dare you-"

"It's not our fault you never clean up your messes~"

"Grr... You're both so arrogant! Men, kill these idiots!"

And thus, the first true battle was about to begin.


AN: Sorry about a short first chapter (it's not much larger than the prologue) but I promise they'll get longer as the story goes on.
