Mikhail heard in silence as Faeril began to talk. The further he was dragged into Faeril and Fatima's problems, more complicated things got. Things which normally, in his 'previous' life, would never be an issue nor Mikhail himself would even care about, were important points. Forced to deal with things he abhorred, such as castes, courts and the very same phenomenon he tried to avoid and flee from... The pull. Ironically enough, said phenomenon could prove to be a boon to his and Faeril's cause... As long as Saetan SaDiablo felt said pull towards Fatima, of course... Which... Strangely enough, was a subject Faeril herself pointed out while talking... Apparently, there was more to it than what both Mikhail and Gennar previously thought, at it was obvious by both Mikhail's expression and Gennar's interjection.

The moment Faeril mentioned the Hourglass, Mikhail's expression almost immediately became darker. The Hourglass was shrouded in mystery. Knowing little about it's inner workings, he only knew how dangerous a Black Widow could be. Hence why he usually avoided those unless strictly necessary. As Faeril began explaining more about it to Mikhail, his expression clearly indicated that he was paying close attention to her words. As she mentioned how Black Widows, which normally were a natural occurrence could also be artificially created, Mikhail raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by what Faeril was telling him. Not only that but the fact that the Hourglass was a coven of it's own, which extended itself through [i]all[/i] the realms was another important information.

The things Faeril told him next made Mikhail seriously worried after realizing that the situation he was now part of was much bigger and more complicated than he had previously thought, to the point that a lone assassin such as he would never, willingly, put his nose inside such a big problem. After being told by Faeril that not only Saetan SaDiablo was also a Black Widow only made him an even more threatening existence and to make it worse, one they had no choice but to take with them.

[color=6ecff6]"This... This is bigger than what I had imagined..."[/color] Mikhail said with a grim tone and a heavy sigh.

[color=6ecff6]"Faeril, does the Hourglass still have complete control over the process used to artificially create Black Widows?"[/color] he asked, in a serious tone. It didn't need much more for Faeril to understand why he was asking such question. If the answer was no, then it wouldn't be unlikely to exist rogue groups of Black Widows, which could possibly bring a lot of chaos if they aligned themselves with the wrong people.

[color=6ecff6]"Regarding Saetan... We can only hope Fatima will be able to control him. He is much more dangerous than we previously thought. Unfortunately, as you said, we have no other choice but to take him with us..."[/color] he said, sighing.

[color=6ecff6]"Fatima already met the black jeweled warlord prince before. Any idea of how we might find him again?"[/color] Mikhail asked, looking both to Faeril and Gennar.
