Disclaimer: Uhh, If you don't recognize it, I probably own it. For now, this counts as Lady Capricorn, but I'll add more as the chapters go on.

.-;; The first chapter is short, I know... but any flames will be used to utterly destory the inferior beings. XD

"Baka…" a voice said quietly, watching from one of the uppermost windows of the Iselia Ranch's towers. Auburn hair veiled the watcher's eyes, narrowed in irritation.

"What was that, Capricorn?" Forcystus asked, tilting his head from his console to glance at her. She shook her head.

"Nothing, Lord Forcystus." she replied quietly, returning her gaze out the window. Two young humans were talking hurriedly with one of the prisoners through the chain link fence. Snorting quietly, Capricorn excused herself from the room without a word and made her way down quite a few flights of stairs, hand on the hilt of her rapier.

"M'am." one of the soldiers said, straightening his posture and saluting. Capricorn's attention snapped to the trooper.

"Do you have ANY idea at all how pissed off Lord Forcystus is going to be when-" she was cut off by a yell of fury from the flight of stairs above, then almost knocked clean over by Forcystus himself storming down the steps. He stopped, though, and managed to catch Capricorn before she fell more than the backstep she had taken in attempt to regain her balance.

"Excuse me." he said shortly, after making sure she wasn't fall down the stairs. She shook her head to clear it, and moved out of the way, swiftly stepping after Forcystus as he continued his infuriated march to the bottom floor of the ranch.

Bursting out the front door, which opened automatically, they managed to get a glimpse of red leaping off the cliff.

"Damn it!" Forcystus muttered, shaking his head. He then regained his calm demeanor and turned to a soldier. "Check the security cameras."

The soldier hurriedly saluted and managed to say a quiet "Yes sir" before sprinting off the main security room. He came back about a minute later, a piece of paper with an image on it in his hand.

"So…" Forcystus murmured quietly, musing with himself. "A kid named Lloyd." He turned to Capricorn.

"We have an arrangement to have a little chat with the citizens of Iselia." he resolved, turning on his heel and walking back into the ranch's main corridor. Capricorn nodded her head and trotted off after him.

"Rodger that." she whispered, more to herself than the aqua-haired Cardinal. Capricorn's walk slowed as she neared the door of her "room". Quarters would be a more suitable term for the place. A desk with her laptop and other miscellaneous papers strewn across it was near her window, which was currently closed. Far to the back of the room was her bed, which was low to the ground, unlike the normal bunk beds of the whipmasters and other Desians milling about this ranch. She didn't like being too far off the ground, as she had a habit of waking from nightmares in the middle of the night lying on the floor. A little to the right of her bed was a door leading to her shower… being second in command at a Human Ranch had its advantages.

Capricorn was drawn out of her thoughts by the sound of the door sliding open halfway behind her. She didn't turn, but rather flopped down in her armchair that faced out the other of the two windows in her quarters, this one fairly larger than the other.

"Capricorn." She startled slightly, having forgotten about the man standing in her entryway already.

"Oh, I'm sorry Lord Forcystus… I didn't remember you were standing there." She answered quite quickly, turning to face him. A small smile played across his lips at her position, twisted around the side of the chair so she was able to see him.

"Don't worry about that, we're leaving in an hour to head to Iselia. We need to teach those humans to respect when Half-elves make a non-aggression treaty with them." Forcystus cut in as he leaned against the doorframe. Capricorn laughed quietly as she leaned back against her chair. 'Yeah. They just need to learn a lesson or two…'
