Alex Rhedd, the Captain and leader of Mercy's Madness, was sitting in the Captain's Chambers, reading over a note that Sheikaris had left for her. He had left for another expedition to find his center. She sighs and mutters to herself, beginning to write a letter in return.
Knocking on the door of the captain's quarters was the young elf, Rima, Student to Sheikaris.
Turning her head, and spilling ink across the bottom of her letter, Alex curses to herself before standing to open the door.
"Wot do you want- Oh! Rima! Hello." Alex blinks, surprised that the young elf was not by her teacher's side.
"Hey Alex! How are you holding up since Sheik left?" Rima smirks to herself, enjoying the long joke of Alex and Sheik being a couple, though they had yet to admit it.
Alex rolls her eyes, "I'm fine. Care for some tea?"
"Sure!" Rima beams happily, following Alex to the dinning hall of the ship.
The young moonkin, Luna, follows quickly behind Alex's heels. The child makes a flower in the middle of the room, causing a chuckle from Rima and a cheeky grin from her mother.
"So how has sea life been?" Rima asks as she takes a cup of tea, sipping it before leaning against the edge of a table.
Alex takes a sip of her tea, mulling her words over before sighing, "It's been well enough. Haven't seen Cyn around for awhile though."
Feeling drowsy, Rima asks, "What's in this tea?"
A smirk crosses Alex's expression, "It's the dream tea that Sheik gave me."
Rima's eyes widen as she drops her cup before falling to the ground, struggling to stay conscious, "Alex... Wh-"
"Night, Deary." Was all Rima could hear before slipping into her subconscious.
Waking into the world that was Rima's dreams was a sparkling silvery mansion surrounded by lush hills with rows of grape vines and apple trees. Rima was in an elegant gown as she pushed herself up from the ground, rubbing her gloved hand against her head.
"What happened?" Rima's clipped Gilnean accent echoes through the empty garden in front of the mansion.
Peering around, Rima didn't see the normal servants and guards wandering around; Growing suspicious, Rima enters the house.
"Hello? Lily? Hilga? Anyone here?" She walks towards the large staircase, jumping when the doors shut behind her.
Alex's laughter could be heard from one of the rooms in the floor above. Rima tugs her gown up and quickly walks up the stairs.
"Alex?" Rima calls, listening closely to the laughing.
She throws open one door, noting it was her old bedroom but her brows furrow. This wasn't where it was when she was younger. Stepping into the bedroom, Rima looks around, checking that everything was in the correct place. Before she knew it, Rima found herself on her back on the bed, Alex was on top of her in a tight fitting red cocktail dress.
"A-Alex!" Rima's face turns a shade of pink.
Alex leans down and plants a kiss on Rima's lips. Rima liked the feel but knew it was wrong, but before she could say anything, she woke up with a scream. She gasps in surprise, looking around and saw she was in the Vanguard's Keep, in her bed.. And she just woke up the rest of Northblade Vanguard... Fuck.
