Raiya's eyes narrowed as she grit her teeth. She began idly tracing her finger over the cross crest on her flask. [color=ec008c]"What a load of crap."[/color] She growled softly but angrily. [color=ec008c]"You expect me to believe you voluntarily stayed inside the worst prison to ever exist because your conscience kicked in when you saw a little girl? Give me a break."[/color] She spat the words out, each one carrying a force of its own. [color=ec008c]"I was thirteen years old. Indoctrinated by the church. And on top of all of that, you tried to kill the person who was most important to me at the time. Of course I hated you. Are you seriously trying to tell me that over the course of your long career as a killer that there was never another time that you were confronted with a family member of the ones you killed? Or was I just the straw that broke the camels back? Was that it? Of the many in the arcanocracy that you had killed, I knew three of them personally. All three of them were married, but only two of them had children. I attended the funerals for all of them. I consoled the children who were too young to understand that their daddy was never coming back. But when you saw me that was it huh? You have your moments of sanity, but you really are truly insane aren't you."[/color] Even though it seemed as though Raiya was initially infuriated, she seemingly relaxed after her spiel. Raiya sat back, wresting her head on the headrest of the sofa, and downed the rest of what was in her flask. She rolled her head to the side to look at Nemo, [color=ec008c]"Beautiful, huh? Never once in my life have I ever even tried to look pretty. I wear clothes that hide my feminine features and I never wear makeup. I've been called all sorts of things, but the only one to ever call me beautiful and mean it was Felix. Beautiful, huh? That's rich."[/color] [hr] Felix stepped through the portal, and immediately felt the healing properties of the ley-lines and the manor-wide glyph dissipate. He could feel his mana wells slowly shrinking and the familiar feeling of weakness overcame him. "Alright, better start right away." Felix said, holding the scroll with and crystal with shakey hands. Felix placed the mana crystal in the center of the scroll, and immediately the scroll began to glow with a blue light. The shrinking of Felix's mana wells and well as his feeling of weakness, stopped. Felix looked over at Travis with a smile, "Well, Travis, my boy. It looks like we've done it!"
