At the Rift... Darklight Tower... The top floor...

A female figure who was carrying a wrist-bow in the left hand and a one-handed crossbow at the right hand was training her marksmanship with live targets, who were bandits unfortunate enough to get caught by the figure.

The bandits begged for the figure to stand down and spare them, but was shot straight to the forehead for breaking the figure's rules on remaining silent. The figure quickly fired shot-after-shot with her crossbow aimed with great precision at the live target practices, killing them instantly with a shot in the head.

As soon as the training was over, an Breton in his 50s arrived to meet up with the figure.

"How fares your new humble abode, milady?" The old man asked the woman.

"Seems amiable enough. The place is a mess, but I like it just the way it is. I never took a liking for castles anyway." The latter replied as she holstered her crossbows.

"Good to hear, milady. Even more so because I have good news to deliver."

"And what might that be?"

"It seems that a man named Floyd has decided to finally join us in our crusade to turn a being into a god-like entity. He shows promise and potential for a warrior and a mage, but... I do not trust him.

I sensed that he has a hidden agenda, but even my eyes cannot see past the seals that was embedded into his mind."

"Then what do you exactly want me to do? Pry his brains out to figure out the truth?"

"No. I want you to keep an eye on our new agent. I don't trust him, and he's far too dangerous. He has seals in his mind that protects him from all forms of magic. He's too dangerous even for my tastes, much like-"

"Mallus Artoria?"

"Yes. You, Malak, and Floyd are the only people in this world who are near impervious, or just too stupid to be affected by magic. But the latter's powers are growing stronger and stronger with each passing day... Very dangerously so.

Therefor, capturing Mallus Artoria when the chance reveals itself is out highest priority. As for Floyd, I still sense that he's hidng something. I've sent an eye and ear to monitor him. Let's just hope that he doesn't notice it."

"Yes, Master Tyranus."

"Good. Now then, I have a task for you."

"What is your bidding, my master?"

"I want you to find a woman called Nadira Sans and join her. Give her support and whatever it takes to complete her mission. I am planting you as a sleeper agent to retrieve Mallus from the Regulators while Floyd retrieves the second 'insurance'.

Once you retrieve Mallus, bring him to me. And once that's done, eliminate Floyd any way you see fit. Now go. Do not fail me."

"Yes, Master."

The woman then left in a cloak of shadows and vanished from sight.

As soon as the coast was clear, an heavily scarred man wearing Black Hand Robes approached the other old man.

"I am most pleased with this turn of events, Tyranus. Most pleased." The former told the latter.

"Thank you, Master. It seems that you found me as an able servant."

"What of the experiments that I assigned you?"

"Subject 23, formerly known as Elizabeth Silvestri, shows great promise. Her mind is far too sealed on it's own to be affected by any form of magic. I had her sent to find Nadira Sans. As a sleeper agent, Elizabeth will know what to do when the time comes.

As for Subject 57, Mallus Artoria, he's growing increasingly dangerous and practically invincible to all forms of magic. But as his powers grow, the more he loses his ability to cast almost all forms of magic as a side-effect of the drugs we administered to him.

So far, the only magic he can cast now is the schools of Illusion and Restoration. He has completely lost the ability to cast all types of Destruction and Conjuration spells. He cannot even use a simple flames spell anymore or use an simple Arcane Enchanter.

But not all is lost. He has grown to be near invincible to magic, to the point that almost any offensive spell doesn't work on him anymore... As days pass by, his new powers leave him scarred and deformed."

"Very good, Tyranus. I am more than pleased with your progress. You simply proved yourself to be more than a mere Dark Lord. Well done.

Now, simply continue your ruse as a Bandit Lord. We only have to wait a year for the true plan to come to fruition. For now, let us play this twisted game of chess."

"Of course. I will not let you down, Lord Agrius."
