"I will accompany you Li, but once we reach the core of the battlegrounds I will leave you on your own." Salem says softly, turning around to face the group. She smiled innocently , running a hand through her soft and almost pastel pink hair. "I want five lives spared at the maximum." She walked over to a closet and retrieved a black cloak, slipping in on as she concealed her horns. "And don't be shy. I want you painted in red." Salem glanced out the window once more, then her attention turned back to the council. "Let us waste no more time." She walked over to Ethan and slowly bent down to his eye level, swatting his feet off the table with a grin. "Alice, if you do change your mind...We'd love to have you join us." Salem said glancing over her shoulder in her direction.
