Mel sat at her desk staring off into space. She held her head in her hands with her elbows on the table. A pen was being held between her nose and pressed lips. She heard a knock at the door and immediately put herself into a more professional stature. "Come i-... er Enter." It was a soldier who held a piece of paper in his hand.
"Lady Melissa..." The soldier stood there to greet her, but he stopped when he saw Mel's face rush to a reddish color.
"How many times I have I told you numbskulls to stop calling me Melissa. It's Mel or Fancy Mel. Even in my training I have spoken out of context of how I hated that name." Mel sighed and tapped her index finger on her desk. "Now what is it?"
The soldier sighed in relief, for he thought he was going to be hit in the face with a flashy word like the last soldier was. "We have a knight in our ranks who has made a name in our ranks. We recommend him promoted to Lieutenant. From what it looks like though, we can't have it put through unless you allow it Ma'am."
Mel stood up and smiled. "Oh really. Then I will test his strength out myself." Mel walked down the hall and the knight followed behind her.
"Why are we headed towards the vault, Ma'am."
Mel sneered to the knight. "Well... there's an item of mine in there that was unearthed. It was placed in here because of all the chaos it caused. I want to see how he reacts to it." She opened the vault and the Knight stood watch while Mel walked around to find the artifact that she had lost. "Ah ha..." She grabbed a golden ball and walked out of the vault with it.
"Ma'am that artifact has aged so much it couldn't be activated." The knight said. "Why did you--" The knight was hit on the head with the metal ball in Mel's hands. The knight fell over and passed out.
"Well then... Forget what you saw." Mel said as she walked away. She walked out into the training area of the Knights to find the soldier she was to test. "Why hello there," Mel said. "My name is Fancy Mel, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have heard good things about you." She stepped out of the shade of the halls and into the light to reveal her rather gaudy way of fashion. She tapped a clog on the ground and held up the ball in her mitten sleeved shirt. "What I hold in my hand is a special item I made when I was first experimenting with my magic," She giggled as it began to glow. "Ready to be promoted?"
