As Lila heard Mirror's words, her hatred only grew bigger. She knew exactly who he was right now, his real face. It was almost that for him, only the fact that someone was a Nayu was enough to kill them and treat them as beasts... It was the same with Lila... It always was like that... He and the other seraphim always tried to suppress her real nature. She was seen as a monster just because she was a Nayu...

His words... All the things he was saying only made the fact that he didn't even see her as a human, but as a beast clearer. Just as he said himself, he wanted to 'tame' her. That her very blood was something wrong... But from all the things he said, maybe the one that made her even more angry was his last words before he fled...

[color=#C6DEFF]"I hope you know what you're doing. The Aion will be your enemy. I will come for you."[/color] Lila heard him saying.

[color=C6DEFF]"You always treated me like a beast, a monster to be tamed... All the Nayus are like that to you, am I wrong? The Seraphim are so superior, so much better."[/color] Lila said, her voice filled with anger.

[color=C6DEFF]"The Aion was never my ally. I was a slave. Only a tool on their hands. You who stole me from my family and created me as nothing more than a weapon... To you, I wasn't anything more than a beast to be tamed..."[/color] Lila continued.

[color=C6DEFF]"Throw as many as you want at me. I will show you the bloodthirsty beast you have created..."[/color] Lila said, looking directly to Mirror's eyes as he disappeared on the portal. She wanted to be sure that her words would be marked on his mind. She wanted to be sure he knew that she wouldn't hold back if he ever tried to interfere on her life again...

Even after Mirror was gone and there was nothing more left at the banquet hall other than dead corpses and blood, Lila still couldn't stop trembling with rage and hate... It was the first time she was experiencing such intense feelings... Luckily for her, Anui was there at her side.

[color=#744E74]"It's over. He's gone now."[/color] Anui said with a soft voice. But instead of embracing her, he grabbed her arm with a firm grip as he looked at her with a serious stare, almost like he was trying to analyze her. Lila couldn't hide her disappointment and her shock when she saw him looking at her like that. He didn't trust her. It was just like the others...

[color=#744E74]"The others will grow suspicious. Lila. Come with me."[/color] Anui said, leading her down a hall away from the banquet, down a spiraling stair. After a moment walking, they were able to hear their own steps echoing. They were truly alone. But the silence didn't help one bit on Lila's mental state. After she saw Anui looking at her with that expression, grabbing her like that... A lot of things were passing through Lila's mind as they walked silently.

It was Anui the first one to break the silence, after they reached the end of a corridor, opening a wooden door that led them to a strange cave, illuminated with a strange blue coloration.


[color=#744E74]"Please tell me everything.."[/color] Anui said, as they arrived in a lake, with a blue neon tree standing in a small isle right in the middle of the lake. Sitting on the only boat that Lila could see nearby, he waited for her to take her where the tree was.

Even though the scenery was really breathtaking, Lila wasn't able to appreciate it at that moment. She had other, more pressing thoughts on her mind. Upon sitting on the boat, she turned to Anui, looking at him with a serious expression.

[color=C6DEFF]"You don't trust me, do you? You're just like the others... Why do you look at me like that? After everything that I said to you..."[/color] Lila asked, obviously angry at him.

[color=C6DEFF]"You want to know everything? Fine then!"[/color] Lila said, as tears started rolling down her face.

[color=C6DEFF]"I was raised by the Aion to be a weapon. Nothing but a tool for them to reach their goals. I killed many people for them. It didn't matter the race, age, sex... I simply obeyed orders for a long time. Oblivious to the fact that I wasn't an orphan like they told me, but I actually had a family I didn't have a purpose, nothing to live for and so, I simply followed their orders. They brought me here and told me nothing but for me to 'be ready'. I never knew that all this would happen. You know the rest."[/color] Lila said, looking down with a mix of sadness and anger on her face.

[color=C6DEFF]"When I got here, I heard about the Moriarty family. I still don't know what happened to them exactly, but I can imagine. Mirror was the one I always served. Oblivious to the fact that he stole me from my family... I never cared about that before but now I know his true self... Treating me and every other Nayu like beasts to be tamed. Nothing more."[/color] Lila completed.

[color=C6DEFF]"Why have you brought me here?"[/color] She asked, still with the same expression.

It was clear to Anui that Lila was emotionally unstable at that moment. After so many things happening, after all that she experienced including being able to see the world with her own eyes and after the feelings she suppressed for so long exploding on her mind like that... He could understand why she was overreacting like that when he grabbed her like he did before... At that moment, Anui was her only emotional support. The only thing that was keeping her from going on a murderous rampage. He was the only thing that stopped her from entering the banquet hall before and slaughtering everyone she saw... He had to thread carefully at that moment. Normally, Lila wouldn't be like that, but she was passing through some pretty radical changes on her life and on her mind.

Sophia might be the Dragon of Knowledge, and in fact she was much more different from other dragons, both in physiology, character and temper, but it didn't matter how much the Grimorium Verum had changed her nature as a dragon, small bits of it still remained there. As soon as she heard queen Allo's words filled with nostalgia, pleasure and admiration on her voice. Sophia couldn't help but give a motherly smile towards Queen Allo. Sophia knew that she was telling her the truth. It wasn't like her voice and the way she was looking at Sophia could lie. Sophia felt like a child was looking at her with admiration, with it's eyes shining with curiosity and excitement.

[color=0072bc]"Any question you might have, you need but to ask. I will be happy to answer them."[/color] Sophia said, with a soft, warm and motherly smile towards Queen Allo. Even though Sophia had to mind her words and her reactions on that place, for obvious reasons as she didn't trust most of the queens and kings there, Queen Allo would certainly have noticed Sophia's warm smile towards her.

Unfortunately not everyone was that excited with Sophia's presence. While Sophia herself knew that not everyone would be happy to see her, she couldn't help but look towards Magnixx in the eye before continuing. Some didn't display any particular reaction, some simply nodded at her, others, like Magnixx, openly expressed their dissatisfaction. But for Sophia, it didn't matter that much. She wasn't there to make friends or allies after all...

As King Vrondi started talking about his confrontation with the enemy, Sophia carefully heard him. A masked man wielding lightning... Powerful enough to keep up with King Vrondi... He certainly wasn't a normal descended... She looked as he displayed the path their fight took with light. After King Vrondi returned, many of his warriors were slain and his armor, gone. Obviously, the masked man was only fighting with him to divert his attention. Their true goal was indeed Vrondi's armor...

[color=0054a6]"Penetrating the armor is possible... But I need to have more details regarding this very armor. There are some spells and rituals that can render something virtually indestructible... But those spells and rituals themselves are not. It is merely a way on how to approach and how to attack said armor."[/color] Sophia said, thinking.

[color=0054a6]"I know that said armor is a treasure for your kingdom... But I need to know more details about it."[/color] Sophia said, looking at King Vrondi with a serious expression. She knew that he maybe wouldn't want to reveal the secrets behind his armor to kings and queens from other kingdoms, but he had no choice. If the enemy had his armor, they should know how to defeat it.
