Melissa is leading a normal life. Well, reasonably normal-- as normal as having one of the five most intelligent children on the planet can be. She is living out her life comfortably, at the very least.

But the letters start. Only one or two at first, but soon the postman is delivering them by the bundle; something extremely inconvenient for her. These letters, however, hold a frightening truth: Melissa is being hunted. For her abilities, after a millennia long feud, the abilities that she didn't even know she had.

Doing the only thing she can after escaping, she follows the letters instructions. And they lead her to a life she could never have imagined. Making new friends and new family, and losing some along the way, Melissa and her daughter fight for a cause that they aren't so sure that they believe in anyway.

FAMILY TIES.

Are you ready for some new recruits? I'll keep it short, because I know you don't enjoy reading, but you can talk to me in person soon. I just thought that I would give you a little heads up on what is coming. Two more people. 


Melissa Mercia, 29, Pugnator, which should be useful, and given her relatively young age, should be easy to train her. There is something else going on, but I don't feel comfortable explaining it to you in a letter. 


Anyway, the other is her daughter. Her name is Anna, she's barely turned thirteen, and she's a Moventis. No, I'm not pulling your leg. So, you'd better think up something to help her develop. As I said, you need a little warning. 


I'll see you soon. Hope that everything there is going absolutely swell. Haven't heard from you recently, so I can't wait to catch up with you. 


"I promise, she will actually help you two."
