When a young girl is brought to Lirna by her mother, she is embarking on a journey to something more than she can know. She arrives at the royal palace of the Ascendancy, a place of great opulence and luxury. Her mother is to be an adviser to the Empress, and she wants her daughter to have experience that will serve her well in her future career. But almost before she can catch her breath after the long journey, she finds herself in a strange situation that may prove to be of monumental importance.

I promised this a little while ago, and here it is. This short series will tell the story of how Li'ren and the Empress met and began the relationship that is hinted at in the second season of "Transmission Lost". So many apologies for taking a break from the main story, and I hope you all enjoy this little aside!
