"What do we know about this woman?" Hayle Gliss asked as he covered his naked body with the robe Ena gave him.

"Not much. She is the daughter of some merchant, but we all know that this information is fake. We have already investigated her past. On the outside it is clean and her story adds up. However, we have never heard of her in the past."

"How is that possible?" Hayle asked.

"How should I know? Do you think I have the time to investigate a random sorceress who shows up out of nowhere?"

"Well if the Duke of Wugari is able to absorb the lightning with his body, I am certain it has something to do with that woman. It is either she used her ability or created something to enhance the Duke's abilities. Don't you think so?"

Ena shrugged. She found the bar inside Hayle's room and poured herself a glass of whiskey. "Rakha has been asking us for help and I had to send a few people. Even Federico agreed that we needed to send a few people to show everyone the might of the Blessed families."

"Times have changed, I suppose."

Ena's lips thinned. "Our plans in Wugari have failed. I expected Clinton Moller to be stupid, but not that incompetent. It had only been a few days and they already got him."

"It would not be easy to defeat the North now that Lonyth and Wugari are showing signs of merging," Hayle said. "Do you have something in mind?"

"Federico's granddaughter is starting to heal people."

"So the plague will not kill as many people."

"No."

"Then perhaps the tide will."

"Not if the Duke of Wugari gets involved."

"She is but a sorceress. There is a reason why we have not heard of her and I suspect it has something to do with the Duke of Wugari. Since we cannot directly touch that man, we can find a way to deal with his woman instead."

"But you are not thinking of killing her?"

Ena's purple lips lifted. "Of course not. That would be a waste."

"So?"

"The reason why it is so hard to deal with the Duke is that we cannot plant a spy next to him. He is aloof and personally picks his own people. We have no way of knowing how or when he chose them. What we currently need is someone that could confidently stand next to him without raising suspicions."

"You wanted to make the sorceress into your spy?" Hayle laughed. "What are you talking about, woman?"

"Sorcerers have one weakness and it has something to do with the dark. They cannot fully use the darkness. They serve the Dark Lord yet, the Dark Lord has never given them the ability to use the darkness. These people had been an enigma to us. However, we know one thing about them. They are selfish, greedy, they love money and they would never hesitate to work for the one who pays better."

"You wanted to use her greed? What can you offer her that the Duke cannot?"

"The ability to become more powerful," Ena smirked.

"You you wanted to entice a sorcerer to join us?"

"Why not?" Ena finished her wine. "What kind of sorcerer would say no to the opportunity to gain more power? The ability to use more of that darkness. Oh I cannot wait to meet this woman."

"You wanted to personally meet her? Isn't that too bold? What if she kills you?"

"She won't be able to kill me. How could someone who harnesses darkness hurt me?" Ena said. "Moreover, it has been so long since I traveled to Wugari. I wanted to see if the beasts are still the same."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Of course, you will be coming with me. Send a message to Wugari. Tell them, we are coming to help them fight against the tide. You and I will help the Wugarian Duke fight at the gates."
