Hello, dear readers. I wanted to see if I could write a story of exactly 100 words, and this is the result: An interesting moment between Lady Arabella and Lorian, courtesy of Lord Penbarin. Kindly let me know if you enjoy my work. There are more stories to come soon, and it is nice to know other fans are out there.

"If not for the seriousness of Ethan's impending trial, I would be elated with Isabel's initiation. The Named are coming together at last," Lorian says to the Tribunal.

Arabella laughs, undaunted. "Sight in all and any light is certainly one of the more useful gifts I've bestowed."

Penbarin smiles lewdly. "I can think of a few uses for that power. Women do always seem to want the lights out, don't they?"

Unconsciously, Lorian's eyes meet Arabella's. She lifts a delicate eyebrow, and he quickly shifts his gaze to Penbarin with a disapproving scowl. "Crass as ever, Lord Penbarin. Meeting adjourned."
