Ash

The next day

The half-demon sat by her lonesome at a small lobby in Jade's Palace. 

She had been called here in the morning by way of a courier the Royal Council sent to the Savior House. Ash had answered the door with bags under her eyes, her and the other girls' sleeping schedule ruined by the fact that they'd went to sleep in the morning after the battle. 

"Greetings!" An overly excited courier said to her with a smile, his expression fading when he saw the horns on her head. 

"..." Ash stared at him with narrowed eyes, lacking the energy to even speak.

"U-Uh," the boy scratched his chin. "Here!" 

She was handed an envelope and the boy took three steps back.
