LET ME SET YOU ON FIRE, LOVE

The queen asked how she was settling in and then asked about the ambitions that Elli carried for her. She had to think carefully about the question before answering them both. ?I?m settling in fine. The herb stores from Ethereal were raided so when I returned to gather them, I discovered I had to collect them all once again. As for my ambitions? My ambitions are high, Roman. I will, regardless of how long it takes, be your second in command.? She reported the information to her, knowing that in order to reach such a rank, she needed to perfect her fighting skills and improve upon them. She would have to train her arse off to do it but that was something she was willing to do.


The tawny girl had to admit she had been slightly offended to learn that some healer who had been housed in Bevroren had achieved the rank of lead healer over her. If she could, however, become the second in command she wouldn?t mind so much. She intended to earn her rank through loyalty and skill alone and once Roman saw her ready, Elli would take that rank with a fierce protectiveness.
