GRAVES' HOME
Alistair returned home from the academy and headed straight for his room, where he collapsed onto his bed, exhaustion settling in. His breath steadied and then he began to remember how Lucius defeated Raven Steel.
"That girl was good, and Lucy actually managed to beat her?" he mused, unable to hide his amusement, though he would never openly admit it.
That girl, Raven Steel, would have been a sight to behold due to her godly beauty—she would have captivated anyone's attention, but her icy attitude kept people at a distance. No one had the courage to approach her.
And once everyone saw what she was capable of, it only gave them more reason to avoid her.
Despite her striking looks, Raven had earned a reputation for being intimidating and strange, with her preference for practical clothes—trousers, shirts, and leather jackets—further distancing her from the typical idea of femininity.
