Chapter 2: Ambition

The Royal Court was in chaos and confusion which, in Lady Melisande's view, was wonderful. This was the best time to take advantage of the confused nobles and get want she wanted.

High Lady Melisande ir'Kou was the most powerful woman besides the Queen and Princess. She was an Air Master, able to control the element of Air. There were many Fire and Air Masters on Kinmoku since they worked well together, some Earth Masters since they were powerful healers but very few Water Masters.

Melisande had three daughters and was proud of them…for the most part. Her youngest, Seiya, was a girl who liked to get sweaty and was constantly moving. She was beginning to become a powerful Air Master.

The middle daughter, Taiki, was quiet and preferred her books to physical activity. Melisande was not surprised to find Taiki was an Earth Master since there were many plants around Taiki's room.

But it was Melisande's daughter that was the problem, Yaten. Yaten was adored by many lords for her delicate looks, her sharp lime green eyes framed by long lashes and had long silky silver hair. But Yaten showed no signs of any element. This worried Melisande very much and everyday she watched Yaten, waiting.

There were legends of those who could control the mind. It was always feared another could be born but time has past, thousands of years, without a sign the Masters of the mind had returned.

But currently Melisande was pondering what the Queen was up to and how she could work it to her advantage. Melisande knew that there was a problem with the Princess not being a sailor senshi but how that tied in with anything, she could not guess.

All she could do was wait and see how events unfolded.
