"Now enough about what you need to do to reach the awakened rank. Before that there are plenty of other things you need to worry about." Melisandre said, seeing the contemplative look on Evelyn's face.

She figured that getting up to the next rank would be the most important for her since it would give her a huge boost in power and status.
"Melisandre what else could be more important than getting me to the next rank? Is that not the goal that all beasts have?"
