Astute Ebony & Enid

Lore

Everyone at the Academy thought that Ebony was a haughty, arrogant girl who flaunted her status and wealth with every chance she could get. They were half-right. With her companion and her skill in reading people's attitudes--plus the services of a young boy and his leviathan from the snowy north--Ebony amassed a treasure trove of knowledge that she would use to blackmail her enemies and advance her family's agenda. With the end of the conflicts, her family's profits were slowly slipping--thus, a new war had to be ushered in. Discreetly, of course. Soon she had contacts and allies of all shapes and sizes, many of them unaware of her actual involvement in these matters. It was a simple matter to get the engines of war rolling, but she missed the simple, unassuming time she spent with the young man that she knew. Of all the people in the world, she felt that she could be herself with him, a freedom that she sorely wanted more of. Her time in the Academy, though, came to an end--and with it, her machinations finally begun. As the conflict began to spill over into the open, she found that her progress in some areas was being slowed down by a mysterious party--or redirected elsewhere. It would be at a rift between worlds where she found out who was behind these moves, much to her surprise. Her raven's caws of delight would mark the day forever in her mind, for the war it yearned for had finally come.
