------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year 468 Phoenix 0008 Hellasburg, Duchy of Reinen
Asredai was overlooking the building of her docks, the weather was mild this day and the air smelled of a storm brewing. She pulled her light furs tighter around her. A hand was laid on her shoulder and she started.
"Apologies, ma'am, it's only me" Said her Grandmaster. "News from our scouts."
"What is it?" Asredai said wearily. They'd been dealing with many endermen recently and a few of her people had gone missing. Likely at the hands of the ender beasts. One of those people being her lover.
"They've found 3 of our people, a little north of here. They have the end residue on their clothes." After finding a few of the bodies they started noticing a faint, strange smell and a black chalky substance on all of them. After inspecting the bodies of endermen they found they were covered in the same residue.
"Any news of.. Him?" She said with more hope in her voice than she intended.
He stood for a second, staring at her. "No, ma'am.. None. But we will keep looking"
Asredai sighed an cupped her face in her hands for a minute then looked up and squared her shoulders. "We need to up our patrols and train more people in the art of the sword. They need to be able protect themselves."
"Our forces are already running thi-" The Grandmaster started "Just do as I say." She snapped.
He stood for a second, then professionally straightened up and turned away. Asredai pulled her furs tighter around herself again, wishing for a different kind of warmth..
