The green veil of energy over her arm began to slowly fade. As she then rose her arm to the light, looking over the healing. Not a scratch was left upon her flawless pale skin. Her blue eyes traced back over to the woman who had healed her. A cute little thing, she had always kept as her secretary. White long hair that was well kept under her black patrol cap, purple eyes that glanced up at the General with a soft smile.

“Is that all you need my lady?” She asked.

“Yes, Lily. As always your medical care knows no equal. You are dismissed.” Esdeath answered.

Lily gave a gentle bow to her superior and began to leave the room. As she did Ira entered as she exited. Giving a sideways glance at her as he always did. He folded his arms behind his back and held his chin high as he stood at attention. He was always the soldier.

“Third Grade LT. Ira reporting for duty ma'am. I have news.” He declared.

“At ease Soldier. Tell me what you found.” She expressed swiftly scowling up at him.

“Yes ma'am! Silverwind was located on the western part of town heavily beaten and barely breathing. The soldier that found her took her to the closest medical center while the rest of their platoon followed a trail of blood. That led to a smashed in manhole cover. They reported a trail of blood that led deep into the sewer system.” He stopped himself knowing what the next set of words would bring.

“And?” Her tone turned icy almost chilling the whole room with her power alone.

“….The trail just vanishes ma’am in a small pool of blood. Someone…was also smart enough to rip out the tracker we had in the princess’s cape. We found it floating down the sewer water away from the trail.” Ira explained keeping his calm demeanor.

Esdeath smashed her fist into her desk causing freezing shards of ice to jet out where her fist landed. “You're telling me…we have nothing on the princess's whereabouts? After of course you allowed an enemy to slip past your usually tight guard.” The General stated aiming her displeasure at him.

“…He scaled the wall with ease. He slip past our guards by knocking out one of our own. He got lucky…the guard he took his uniform from was one of the few I didn’t know. He had just got transferred over here from one of our few northern outposts. If you allow me ma’am. I will take my platoons and hunt him down myself.” Ira words were calm but, as he spoke the hands behind his back tightened into fists.

Esdeath was about to speak again when her door flung open. Lily came in her face looking pale. “Ma’am…SHE sent a messenger for you.” She exclaimed as a creature floated into the room. It looked like some kind of squid only its head was bright red with bone like armor around its lower half. Crimson tendrils dripped down its body as it hovered into the room. Moving through the air as if it was water.

“That is all Ira. Both of you leave us.” The command was harsh as both of them bowed and quickly left the General’s office.

Esdeath righted herself straightening her clothing. As the creature’s head began to glow bright. As an image of…LILITH formed out of black smoke that began to pour out of the creature. The single glowing eye of her veil peering down upon one of her Generals.

“I have heard you had a setback….that YOU allowed the princess to slip away from you.” The calmness of her voice was the most threatening thing about her.

Esdeath stood up from her chair. “Madam I promise you-.”

“Did you have her or not?” Lilith cut her off sharply. Even without raising her voice.

She walked across from behind her desk. “Yes but, I will give chase and I will-”

Lilith tighten her hand slowly as she did a red eye the same symbol as her veil began to glow on Esdeath’s back. She was dropped to her knees in pure agony unable to move or speak as red veins crawled over her skin from the symbol upon her back.

“I don’t want your excuses. I demand results. You know this Esdeath.” She unclenched her hand. Releasing the effect on her General.

“You will refocus your attention towards the North. You will send a messenger to the King of that land. If he refuses to bend the knee. I want you to crush him with all of your might. If he doesn’t bow we will make an example of him and his people. Cinder and her Valkyries will hunt for the princess. I will also be sending you a few of my legions of beasts and one of the sisters to aid in your efforts. I will not leave them a single ounce of hope to cling too.”
