The air searches seemed to get worse as time went on.

Near Bruma, the sleeker and faster airships of House Morgan, a new model, had been sent out, searching for whoever had gotten into their vaults and disturbed their… precious items.

They searched all morning, when they couldn’t be seen, before beginning again at night.

With large gas lights attached to the bow, the airships were doing a pretty good job… Of course, not that it mattered.

They still hadn’t found the thief.

As the searchlights passed right next to her hiding place, the girl held her breath, not daring to move. However, when it was gone, she heaved a sigh of relief. She had gotten out…

Those damned Justifiers had nearly caught her. But the Beaumatic Branch of the Morgan Dynasty was not going to bring her down as easily as they had her siblings.

She was born to lead the Morgans.

Technically.

Her ancestor was the first-born child of Arik Morgan, but hadn’t been named his heir, due to the laws of the Province at that time.

But, every descendant of Ari Morgan felt that same bitterness in their hearts. The same thing she had felt when she had been cast aside.

But her children had watched… And grown…

Ari Morgan had been the most powerful of his children, gifted with all the magical talent of her father and her mother, who was rumored to have been a Nemer, a mystical creature rarely seen these days.

It was said that that same magical, mysterious blood flowed through her descendant’s veins, despite the fact that none of them were ever as powerful as her.

After Hanna Morgan’s entire family had been murdered, slaughtered mercilessly by those… those… guns of the Beaumatics, she had vowed revenge. She had promised herself that she would wreak that same havoc upon her enemies…

With the Morgan Civil War continuing in the Overland, the Underland had no clear ruler. A descendant of Arinat, by the name of Arius Morgan, claimed sole dictatorship, while a descendant of Verna Hlaalo-Morgan claimed the same.

As always, they forgot the greatest branch of the Morgan family.

Corenna and Arinat had been evil, conniving snakes, but they had been powerful. Verna had been a rebel, a political leader in times of upheaval, but she hadn’t lived very long. Morval had the least known about him, but it was known that he was an adventurous spirit.

But Ari…

Ari was something else.

At her birth, people claimed that a light had issued from her, blinding all but her father. He never spoke of it to anyone, but rumors spread…

Arik kept her with him at all times, until she grew up. He showered her with magical trinkets and tools, including the item that Hanna had stolen, that night.

A belt.

The Belt.

Hanna shook her head, snapping herself from her thoughts of glory and power and sighed, looking around. She couldn’t see any searchlights, or cars, or dogs…

She darted out, sprinting in a mad dash towards Chorrol, where she knew she would be safe…
