Her heart sank as she continued reading the directive from HLF's foreign affairs department.

"No....no.....this can't be...." she murmured as her fingers absently went to her lips. "All this time...."

Perhaps....perhaps she could coax Laskey to resign his commission from the HLF. But that was unlikely and she knew it.

She re-read the document. There was no misunderstanding or ambiguity. There was no easily exploitable loophole. Staring right back on her was physical, tangible proof that she could never be together with him.

What hurt Ilassa even worse was that despite her efforts at diplomacy and reconciliation with the human realms after the war, her kind was still viewed as little better than a disease by them. She had to correct herself- Laskey didn't see herself and the others like that, but the men who have his orders clearly did.

And there were no doubt other mamono- her subjects- who had fallen for some of the humans in the employ of the HLF. And according to this memorandum, they could pay a steep price for being together now.

Ilassa absently crumpled up the sheet with the orders from HLF Foreign affairs and angrily tossed it across the room....

"Damn it...." she said, her vision now increasingly clouded by tears.
