[color=daa520]"So they have found a way inside the Nexus,"[/color] Iona said as she listened to Zeruel's accounts of the battle at Arcadia, before opening the message and reading it. [color=daa520]"Arcadia is a very borderline territory, it's likely that that whole battle was a ruse to weaken the barrier. I'll need to get Juno back here at this moment,"[/color] the Dark Archangel said more to herself than to Zeruel.

Finally, once she was done reading the contents of the letter, Iona directed her attention at Zeruel once more. [color=daa520]"Prepare whoever you can, we will likely have another conflict before the skirmish at Arcadia is due,"[/color] she said, after a moment of silence. [color=daa520]"This may as well be beginning of another great crisis."[/color]

[color=daa520][i]"What kind of disorder is happening on Hell? I knew that leaving it without a proper advisor would be a problem in the long run,"[/i][/color] Iona thought. [color=daa520][i]"Why someone like the Black Goat is even here? Did she take advantage of whatever loophole they used as well?"[/i][/color]

It was obvious to Iona that Lucille knew way too well what she was getting herself into. Even if the Dark Archangel couldn't spare the time to get a detailed reading of what was transpiring on the Halls of the Hell, she could feel all those wild fluctuations of power and the clearly brewing intent to strike down Celestia.

[color=daa520]"Take the message to the Imperator. She shall give you directions on what to do after gathering your troops. I have my own mission to fulfill in a very short order,"[/color] Iona turned her back to Zeruel and began to leave. Suddenly she turned on her heels, as if remembering something, and said, [color=daa520]"You may read the contents of the message if you so do wish."[/color] After saying all she had to, the Dark Archangel made a brief pause so that Zeruel may say anything on his mind.

In case nothing else were to be said Iona would depart as soon as Zeruel turned his attention to other chores.

The contents of the mysterious missive, in case Zeruel decided to read it was the following message:

[quote]
[i]If you do not want your war to be ruined, you will have to best us. Spread this message to the other parts of your "Triumvirate" as well.

"Your Ragnarok will not be coming today."
