[color=C6DEFF][center][h1]Lila Moriarty[/h1][/center][/color] [sup][@Rai] [@13org][/sup] [color=#744E74]"It pains me to have given you such a curse. For this I apologize deeply. I will not let a soul harm you."[/color] "You gave me not a curse, but a reason to live. Something more than being just a tool." Lila said, looking to Anui once more as he sais those words. She didn't knew why that was happening... Was that their plan all along? They took Lila to the place where she was born, just to use her to slaughter her own kin? As those thoughts passed through her mind, she only became even more irritated. Even behind the curtains, she could hear Mirror's voice as he started an inflamed speech about his objective to reclaim the fortitude of the Seraphim bloodline, telling others to fight by his side or perish... But maybe the worst thing was that he said that he would turn a child into a soldier just like 'his' Lila... How much of a hypocrite could he be speaking like that? Was he really any better than the Nayu? Lila didn't knew what exactly was happening, or what was the reason for Mirror to simply start slaughtering other Nayu royals like that but he surely wasn't that much better than them... [color=#C6DEFF]"Somethings missing... LILA! WHERE ARE YOU!?"[/color] She heard Mirror's voice once more, interrupting her thoughts. That was the last drop, she couldn't stay quiet anymore. Together with her vision, it seemed like that meeting with Anui awakened other things that were asleep inside Lila. Her feelings. And right now, she needed to do something. But before she could get up, she hear Anui once again, his voice placating the anger she was feeling. [color=#744E74]"Lila. Why does this man who slaughters our people call out your name? Does he have a grudge against you my dear?"[/color] [color=#744E74]"If so. I will not let him leave here alive to threaten you another day."[/color] Anui said with an ebony blade forming on his hands. Getting up, Lila gently grabbed his hand, looking towards the curtains that separated them from the room where all the chaos was happening and without saying a word, she started walking towards it, pulling Anui. Entering the room, she looked directly towards Mirror and the bloodbath that he made. In one hand, Lila never knew how beautiful the color of blood was... Such a beautiful and alluring shade of red. It reflected the light from the hall like rubies... But in the other hand, only hate could be seen on Lila's eyes. [color=C6DEFF]"I am your tool no more, Mirror."[/color] Lila said, almost hissing as she looked towards Mirror as he rose above the ground, flying, while still holding Anui's hand. [color=C6DEFF]"You brought me here, a Nayu created by your kind, the Seraphim, as a weapon, as nothing but a tool, in order to use me to slaughter my own kind? It was the first time I ever saw other Nayus... It was the first time I didn't feel like a monster by drinking blood. How cruel can you be, Mirror?"[/color] Lila continued, looking directly towards Mirror. The way she looked on his eyes made clear that she was actually seeing him with her own eyes. [color=C6DEFF]"I also heard some things, Mirror... What happened with the Moriarty?"[/color] Lila asked, looking at him with a piercing stare. [color=C6DEFF]"I wasn't an orphan like I was told, Mirror. I had a family... What have your kind done with them before I was taken away from Nero?"[/color] She asked, baring her fangs towards him. Lila's mind was still an absolute chaos, flooded by so many different, conflicting emotions she never had to deal with as she simply suppressed them... But at that moment, rage and hate were the most apparent ones as she looked to Mirror. [color=C6DEFF]"I have no problems in killing my target, I never had. You created me with only efficiency in mind. A ruthlessly efficient weapon, without remorse. But what happens now that I don't follow your orders anymore?"[/color] Lila said, looking to him. The message she wanted to say to Mirror was clear. She wanted him to leave. To be honest, Lila herself didn't know what would she do now that she didn't have a... 'master' anymore. Nobody to order her. To someone that knew nothing other than being an assassin, killing and following orders, she was completely lost on what she would do right now, but there was one thing she was very certain: the only person whom Lila cared right now was Anui. She wouldn't let no one get between her and her loved one. [hr] [color=0054a6][center][h1]Sophia[/h1][/center][/color] [sup][@Rai] [@13org][/sup] [color=0054a6]"Hoarding? If it wasn't for me, the world would be already plunged into chaos a long time ago..."[/color] Sophia said with an annoyed expression as she heard the king saying. [color=0054a6]"Call me whatever you want. It doesn't matter how much you all want to lie to yourselves, the truth won't change. You all are not ready to obtain the knowledge stored on that library."[/color] Sophia said, with a serious stare as she transformed herself to her 'human' form. [color=0054a6]"Not a lot of people have seen me in this form, King Vrondi. I suppose you know what it means for a dragon to show it's human form."[/color] Sophia said, looking to him with eyes as impeccably white as her hair and her skin at the same time as white as the moon and as black as the night. It was unique, exotic but it was also extremely beautiful. Although Sophia went there out of her own free will, she was clearly showing that she didn't completely trust him or the other kings and queens... At least not yet. [color=0054a6]"We're going to discuss serious matters, King Vrondi. So I believe being honest is the first step to ensure mutual understanding. I came here out of my own free will, but I still wont take sides. I will do whatever I need to do in order to keep the balance of the world. Unless It's something that threatens this very balance, I won't interfere in your wars or your struggles for power."[/color] Sophia said as she followed him. As Sophia and Vulcan walked inside the castle, heading directly towards the meeting room, she couldn't help but notice the festive mood as the other guests enjoyed a myriad of different activities such as Fotian fire dancers, drums & etc. Did they even know what was happening? The threat they would soon face? Upon entering the meeting hall, she would see king Vrondi and many others kings and queens sitting down in a long stone table. Many of those she didn't know, but she could feel their eyes over her, analyzing her. Almost like as a way to ensure she was the owner of the aura they felt, she let out her aura just a very brief moment. Merely a pulse, enough for them to realize that it was the same type of the more powerful outburst of primal magic they felt. [color=0054a6]"I believe you all heard me when I said who I am."[/color] Sophia said, looking to the ones sitting at the table. [color=0054a6]"Unfortunately, we don't have much time to introduce ourselves properly. As I said before, there is a reason why I left the Great Library, coming all the way to Vrondi myself after Vulcan asked me to."[/color] Sophia said, with a serious tone. [color=0054a6]"I took an oath to never interfere on your wars or conflicts. But this time is different. Something... darker..."[/color] Sophia said, looking to them all. [color=0054a6]"It's unlike everything I've felt before. Something needs to be done before it becomes too strong."[/color] She completed, looking at every single king and queen on that table one by one.
