Pov Zaya (Lady of the Grave):
I don't know how long it's been since I've been in this state, but I feel strangely comfortable.
I may not be able to move my body or use any of my senses, but that's nothing new, in our ho we spent most of our childhood in a similar state while nourished by the powers of death and always in areas where many lives had fallen.
In Tarzor, every place is full of the power of death and curse, which makes my people mature more quickly from what I heard, unfortunately we were also trapped in that place.
I always wanted to free myself, see other places, see people outside my race who didn't have bad intentions, Hela's group was the first one I t that treated decently.
But as soon as I managed to leave Tarzor I panicked, I felt alone like I had never felt before, I felt the totality around empty as if sothing that had always been there, now hadn't disappeared, it wasn't just sothing I felt, my body was falling apart turning into stone just like in my childhood.
After that I felt Hela's group taking care of , but it wasn't the sa, I felt like sothing fundantal was missing, ancient that my body and Soul needed while my mind was just stuck.
It was only when they brought to this place that I felt a similar and at the sa ti different environnt, I felt as if soone was taking in their arms surrounding my entire body.
It wasn't like Tarzor, but it was similar enough, I could feel the power of death and curse, even the power of life that was scarce in Tarzor was everywhere, I didn't know where I was, but I instinctively needed to connect to that place just as it was connected to Tarzor.
I tried many tis, but I never managed to do it, I was welcod and at the sa ti blocked, but at least I had managed to connect with sothing else, I didn't know what it was or where I was, but it allowed to see many things and many people in varied landscapes.
I managed to learn a lot, everything was new, everything was incredible, but I could only see, it was only later that I arrived in a beautiful place, I rember the stars illuminating the darkness and I rember the imposing Eclipse that was eternalized above, the place where I was standing was so kind of path where many humanoid figures passed.
But what impressed were the large figures that passed between the stars, I never saw more than shadows of these creatures with the exception being the largest of all the figures, it seed to be on the sa path as I was, it is much further in front.
I don't even know how much ti has passed, but even now I try to connect to sothing, I feel hungry, but it's not hunger, it feels more like a need, I can't say exactly what the problem is, but I feel constantly being denied sothing I need and I never knew I needed it until I left Tarzor.
I was sitting looking at the stars when I was pulled by the light of one of the stars, when I opened my eyes I was standing on top of what looked like a huge Dragon claw, two eyes that seed to contain the Sun and Moon were focused on as a voice that seed to co from everywhere spoke to .
"What do you want?"
"Freedom, a place to belong for myself that wasn't decided by soone before I was even born." (I)
"If you seek freedom, then why are you trying to hold on to sothing even now?"
"I don't know, I just feel like I should do this, I feel like I want to do this." (I)
"I want to belong where I am." (I)
"Do you know where is it?"
"No, but if Hela has fulfilled part of it, then I should be at your house or sowhere nearby." (I)
"If you don't know where you are, not even knowing about those around you, then why do you still try to connect with this place?"
"Stupid question, if I feel like I'm supposed to be here then I'll do it, that's my choice." (I)
"My race connects to sothing, soone or so place, we need this type of bond and that's why we choose to set up a ho in this very comfortable place." (I)
I don't need to think about it too much, thinking about right or wrong, about safety and danger, just like all these things is irrelevant, if you already have certainty within yourself, there's no point in looking for excuses in your mind not to do sothing you've already decided.
"This is not a place, you are trying to connect with soone, a Demigod in his Divine Ascension process."
"Even knowing this, will you still stick with your decision?"
"This is even better, it ans I'll be less restricted than I thought, I've always wanted to see new places and new people." (I)
I don't know who it could be but the voice is unrecognizable, but I still think it's safe to say that this voice, this place and this giant shadow are all the sa person or creature.
I am being tested and this was very obvious, Tarzor did this many tis, and my race were observers even judges in these tests, there would be no way to recognize sothing similar happening to .
"Do you know if this individual is good or bad?"
"It doesn't matter, these are superficial concepts that Mortals use to judge things in an understandable way." (I)
"I grew up devouring the lant of the dead, the Soul of the most cruel beings in the universe and yet still living being affected by these things known as evil." (I)
"I can feel this place not with my body or mind, but with my Soul." (I)
"This place or in this case, this person... has a presence similar to that of Tarzor with the biggest difference and one of the only ones being that this place is hot." (I)
"(Tarzor embraced us with his power and presence, but he was cold, pure and calm.)" (I)
"(But if this power that embraces now is compared, then it would be considered warm, comforting, and intense.)" (I)
"..."
"If that is your decision, then reach out, you will receive everything you desire in exchange for your true loyalty to , do you accept that?"
"Yes, we can start!" (I)
When I reached out my hand I felt an even more intense energy pass through my body as I found myself standing between the creature's two colossal hands.

Pov Zenos:
When I opened my eyes the lying statue was now floating like a soap bubble with a person curled up inside surrounded by black and purple light.
"I'm done, this person is strange." (I)
"There aren't many normal people here in the Dungeon." (Vanessa)
"How was your conversation with her?" (Vanessa)
"I don't understand anything, her way of thinking is a little unique, very similar to Ibuki and Lilith, she doesn't care about logic, she acts according to instincts and emotions." (I)
"I don't see the problem, many in the Dungeon are like that, even you also get carried away by emotions." (Vanessa)
"In her case it's different, her decision making is almost completely based on emotions and instinct, but I don't rember Hela telling about that before." (I)
I perford the Awakening Ceremony with Zaya, but I'm not sure about her personality and character, so I'll leave it to talk to her after finishing the Awakening.
"Master, I brought her, she is in another room." (Haku)
"I'm going now." (I)
"You need to know sothing, she has evolved." (Haku)
"Why do I need to know sothing like that? Every day there is soone evolving here in the Dungeon." (I)
"An Insect Empress finds it difficult to evolve, but she tried hard and studied magic directly from Rakan." (Haku)
"She tried so hard to stand out, everything she does is thinking about you to the point where she starts feeding on blood." (Haku)
"That can't be enough nutrition for her." (I)
"Your race can eat anything, but the prerequisite is to have vital energy." (Haku)
"One more thing, she asked to be nad after Alice after evolution." (Haku)
"I thought she already had a na." (I)
"She wanted a new na, I can't understand it and after seeing her eyes I didn't want to ask." (Haku)
"..." (I)
I talked to Haku as we advanced towards the room where the next candidate is waiting.
"Good to see you again Kiara, I heard you changed her na." (I)
"Yes great Zenos, my old na no longer represents what I am or what I want to be, that's why I requested a new na to mark my rebirth." (Kiara)
As soon as I entered he dropped to his knees on the floor, but what took by surprise wasn't his submission or the change in his appearance, it was his Aura that shone brightly in pure faith as if that was the focus of everything she is.
I've never seen anyone with such great and absolute faith in , I didn't even know sothing like that was possible and it was when my eyes t hers, I understood what Haku said before.
"(I can't tell if this is Faith, obsession or madness... maybe they are all together...)" (I)
Her eyes were glued to with pure adoration, she didn't even seem to have seen Haku standing right next to , she is completely fanatical to the point that any question she asks becos useless, her loyalty to must be more important than life itself, this is obvious just by seeing her Aura, just as Hades said, she ets all the requirents.
"Co with , I want to see her power." (I)
"As you wish, great Zenos." (Kiara)
"Please just call Zenos." (I)
An interview with her would be useless, her Aura and behavior scream religious fanaticism, having her around could be safer for her and for , this way I can prevent her fanaticism from diverting her path.
But before anything else, I want to understand her power, I want to know the powers she has, her way of fighting and her strengths.
