Elijah Proudwood

General Elijah Proudwood is an important man, who fights valiantly for King and Country. Always. He would never let anything jeopardise his position, only ever letting himself take a break when there are minimal reprecussions. So when the chief introduces his newest strategist, Lieutenant Davis, Elijah cannot afford to get distracted. But Persephone Davis is everything that he aspires to, she never takes breaks, never concerns herself with rumours, and doesn't spare anyone an unnecessary moment of her time. As she begins to work closely with the generals, however, he realises just how emotionless she is. He starts to resent her for being so uncaring when someone falls ill, or for refusing to assist someone in need. She must truly be heartless. And he believes he could do a much better job strategising than her, anyway. Until one night, Elijah's perception of everything changes. Can he truly hate her? And could he really do a better job?
