Cassandra Morphy

As always, rumors surrounded Cary when she returned to her sorcerer school in the magical realm. The stories about her time in the fairy realm ranged from fighting off hoards of fairies to her being replaced by a shapeshifter. This time, the truth was far stranger than any of the rumors floating around. However, Cary had bigger issues running into her eighth grade year.

Instead of being assigned to Sight House, like Cary always expected, she is surprised to find herself placed in Combat House. With how close she kept to her faith, she never considered fighting an option. It was always better to escape. Suddenly, she no longer had a choice in the matter. It was fight or fail.

A lot had changed since the war started. More had changed since the empire won. With limited options for work back home, Rome found herself walking across the empire for one thing, to join the military of the empire. That alone showed a level of bravery that the military couldn't pass up. Rising quickly through the ranks, Rome finds herself surrounded by a rebellion that should have been put down ages ago. People can look like monsters when staring down the scope of a sniper rifle.

Left behind back home, Julieta is always looking toward the east, waiting for Rome's return. It was from the east that the planes flew, dropping fire onto the small town of Asuntora. Now, much like its neighbors, Asuntora no longer exists, but Julieta and a friend managed to survive. Wandering through the badlands that their world had become, they are soon discovered by the rebellion who insist that it was all the empire's fault. Even with proof staring at her in the face, Julieta is torn between joining the rebellion and hoping to find Rome safe and alive out there.
