Mite Xu looked around nervously as she approached the gatehouse. Of all the graduates of [[The Xuan Wu Academy]], Mite Xu was the best military engineer, and she knew that she had performed her survey admirably.

She was to sit at his war council and offer her advice. But how was a mortal, even an Amalgam like herself, to advise a prince of the earth?
