This is set shortly after [[Elimination of Elliot Anders]]. ## Fiction Glenda sat with her head bowed, resting against her laced fingers, the throb of another headache forming.   She had for months felt things changing across the continent, but had not yet been able to put together the pieces.  Ever since the assault on her home she had felt increasing pressure to solve this. Her hand absentmindedly traveled to the large burn across her chest, years old it still maintained an angry appearance. With a sign she returns to her most recent correspondence from the Rat, where he detailed the newest constructions in [[Vonarum]], how they seemed to be tapping into some deep well of energy.   A knock on the door broke her from reverie. “Who is it?” “It’s John, I have a message from the prison.” “Come in.” John, an acne ridden young guard entered her chambers. “Speak,” she said plainly. Ma’am, the smuggler you had us bring in, Elliot, he appears to have been poisoned.” Now the headache began in earnest. ## Characters [[Glenda Ellington]] [[Aznar Graniteheart]] [[Elliot Anders]]
