Rhona is surprised and embarrassed, blushing wildly from Axis' kiss. However, her embarrassment was not caused by Axis' power, rather, it was because not matter how she looked at him, he still looked like the Alec she had come to know. Another reason for her embarrassment was memories from 30 years ago surfaced in her mind. She wanted to believe that Alec was still inside him somewhere and that he would return soon. "Thank you... Axis. I wanted him to know at least that...I want to apologize to you as well. It was my fault that you almost died as well... So for that I am sorry." She said, not making eye contact him, however the tips of her ears.

Leon growled then snapped his fingers, teleporting Rhona into his arms. He lost balance for a moment from the sudden added weight but quickly recovered and gently set Rhona down. He placed his hand on her shoulder and pushed her behind him. Through that split second they shared each other's thought. [color=ed1c24][i]"Stay behind me. No matter what, you must not go to Alec as he is now. Please sister... Trust me and wait for instructions."[/i][/color] Leon's thoughts echoed between the two of them. Rhona was nervous but she trust Leon; she nodded slightly.

Leon took a few steps forward. Axis was a liar but he lied well. However, Leon could see a very faint glimmer of maleficence in his eyes, the look of someone who was twisted and demented... Someone on the quest of revenge. But against who? And why? Leon couldn't be for certain. [color=ed1c24]"Yer a much better liar than Alec I'll give ya tha'! But don't ya dare think tha' I can't see through yer facade! Show yer true colors already! "[/color] Leon roared, his eyes narrowed, glowing a bright blue, and his brow furrowed; small bolts of lightning shot out from his body as he made it quite clear that he was done playing Axis' little game. 

Dark clouds gathered overhead, a faint rumbling of thunder promised a storm as a war over the gods had been waged.
