Mana Ties, Part Two

{Enverna}

No matter where she went, the news was unavoidable. 

"They're saying that it was an inside job. That the president got taken down by her own guards!" 

As she pulled some ropes down on one of the odd machines she'd been learning to use for the past couple of months, she heard a couple of guildmates. 

"It's just so weird that no one caught it, you know? No cameras, no witnesses. Nothing." 

"They're obviously hiding something." 

[Indeed, they are,] Enverna thought, going about her business. 

The first thing Enverna and Lianna were told after that man came and killed Aria right in front of them was that they were never there. 

Mainly, as a request of the administrator. 

[Who even is she?] Enverna wondered, continuing her exercise. [I mean, it is understandable that the leader of a guild would have some influence but... To be able to tell the president's own guards to look the other way? That is incredible, isn't it?]
