Everyone around Serena nodded in understanding at her words, they understood where she was coming from and none of them were asking for her to just stand back and not do anything. They were just asking her not to do it alone and avoid the right people. At John's question, Fia sighed and pinched her nose as she was dreading this question the most. "I'm gonna warn you now dad. You're not gonna like what I'm gonna tell you." she warned, "obviously from what you're future self has told me in stories, The First of the fallen is a given. He wants mum just to have one up on Lucifer. That you all know anyway, but the next name I'm gonna give you, you're not gonna like, someone you know of, at least in my time... Its Antone Arcane whose also on the prowl for mum, he's even being willing to work with Pralaya so he can twist time to make these changes to try and win... And he does in my time" she explained.

"wait...are you saying the very embodiment of The Void is working with the immortality obsessed 19th century douchebag to continue his life of immortality by having Kay?!" Chas exclaimed, almost choking on his words. Fia nodded in a somber manner. "and he practically wins....with Pralaya's help, he gets mum from The First of the fallen and taints her essence so drastically she becomes a black shadow phoenix, burning the country down city by city, giving him all the souls he could ever want...this is why I said it also fucks with you dad mentally..." she continued.

"but what about Serena?"Josh asked, wondering how she comes into all of this. "how do you think Antone and Pralaya successfully turn mum into a shadow?" Fia said, looking at Josh, to make him figure it out for himself.
