Hey, I'm Fleur Hales and I was trying to get a job at some UW branch. Apparently, I'm antisocial so I was trying to fix that. It's the year 2342, approximately 100 years since the first ship landed. No, not ship, space craft. Yeah, we were attacked by aliens a hundred years ago and somehow, humanity survived. Don't worry, I'm no immortal. I was born eighty years after all that stuff happened.

Anyway, the most surprising thing is, no one of the human population is aware that some hundred thousand kilometers outside our stratosphere lies an alien space craft! Yeah, governments kept it all under wraps. Only privileged people like myself can know such stuff.

I know you must be thinking, "Isn't she an orphan? She is obviously the most under privileged person out there!" It's true. I'm an orphan, but that never stopped my IQ from getting so darn high. I'm currently the world's second most intelligent person.

Anyway, how am I privileged? I'm from the non-existent Moguls class. Yes, non-existent. The moguls class is for the extra ordinary people of the world. Each country has it's own class, I think. That aside, being a mogul is something very nice. As simple as that. The benefits, the privileges and so on, but getting into that class is harder than dying.

I got in not only because of my IQ but because of my overall abilities. [ Overall because I can't remember them, yeah I'm that lazy.] So anyone can join this class just, do you have what it takes? If you're a sniper you have to be the sharpest. If you're a coder, then no one should break your firewall. You get what I mean. The moguls class has only the top of the best around the whole world.

So, yeah, I'm an orphan who grew up all alone, not alone but with some cool brothers and sisters plus a loving old man. Grand pa, as we call him, took care of us like his own children. He is a very valiant man who is upright and strict. Actually, most of my achievements I owe to him. If not because of his teachings, I wouldn't know half of what i do know. I kinda miss the old man. I had better set up time to go visit him soon before he turns on me. Heh, those guys are in trouble.

Who is that girl? So aloof yet friendly. Her smile is not like those of other socialites, fake. No, her smile is polite. Not too polite to show familiarity but not too haughty to show superiority. Her phoenix eyes are actually more captivating. Clear and clean, not tainted by this world yet sharp enough to notice the small details that can easily be over looked. Even her taste in clothing can be said to be appropriate. Not to revealing yet not to chaste. A very interesting prey, I mean person. I need to get up close and personal, for now.

"Third brother, where are you headed off to? You have a speech shortly." This person's voice disrupts my focus making me lose the girl. Girl, because her body look like that of a girl. I turn to look at the nincompoop and realise it's one of my good friends, Avery. Not a woman by the way. "Avery, do you know what you just cost me?" I say in a low tone. "Money? You can always earn it back." If only he knew connections are more worth it. And she was wearing a mask, I can't track her down. How unfortunate!!

It has been weeks since that banquet and I can't quite get her off my mind. Who was she? Why was she at the banquet when she is so young? No offence to ladies but that banquet was high profile. The banquet had high profile people who could crumble the world economy with a swipe of their fingers. So getting in without a status would have been tricky. Maybe she is some rich man's daughter. Then she must have some skill. " Sir, here is the list of the attendees of last month's banquet along with their profile." "Thank you, Mike."

"Any news on the masked lady?"

"None ,sir. Are you caught up in your thoughts?"

"Can't get her off your mind, Abe."

"Yeah, Mike. She's like a beautiful nightmare. "

"What if she's a mistress?"

I hadn't thought of that. It's a possibility though. I wonder if I'm interested or infatuated with her. Anyway, that's for later.

"Any news on White Dragon?"

"Ed, rumors are going around that he made an appearance at the banquet one month ago."

"He? How sure are you that it's a man?"

"That prowess is nothing a woman's capable of."

"Now, now, Mikey. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, alright. Leave room for doubt."

"Whatever. What are we to do if we don't find him or her in time?"

"We take the weight of the world and put it on our shoulders."

"Actually Ed, I've been thinking. There might come a time for the class to group."

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that?"
