Pov Hades:
Hours have passed since I spoke to the master at Davoth's urgent urging, he used my body to talk to him, but sealed my coincidence of hearing his conversation, which doesn't matter to , I am his Herald and you will know what he wants to know.
But what disturbs is Davoth's behavior, he seems distracted since he spoke to the master, his eyes seem lost in the past, I have seen many eyes like that in those who walk the Stellar Path.
"Why did we change course?" ()
"The Cores have beco secondary, we need to find soone first." (Davoth)
"Wouldn't it be better to mark the Universal Cores first?" ()
"Now that 2 Entities are invading this universe..." ()
"If we find that person, we won't need the Universal Cores." (Davoth)
"This person is ancient, he is also the basis of the Network Flow of Law between Universes, we can say that he is the heart that maintains it." (Davoth)
"If he is so important, then why wasn't he our target from the beginning?" ()
"Because I have no idea of his current conditions or if he is stable, not to ntion the dangers involved." (Davoth)
"But now it is different, the Entities will already mark territories, their Concept powers will sooner or later influence the Cores, taking them will be too difficult, especially when there will be others targeting them too." (Davoth)
"Not to ntion that the place where he is imprisoned will be difficult." (Davoth)
"What are we going to do then?" ()
"Get ready..." (Davoth)
"I will warn the others." ()

Pov Adella:
Sothing was wrong, Nix who was embodying Zenos suddenly stopped, her Aura has been empty for a few minutes and every ti I try to touch her body a strange presence stops .
"I'm tempted to use my power, but that would expose ..." ()
"What happened to you, Nix?" ()
With nothing to do, I had to watch her, I couldn't leave her alone without even knowing what was happening here, I can't tell if sothing happened to her or to Zenos, but I can't do anything but wait, which only increases the anger I'm feeling.
"If it wasn't for him..." ()
The increase in anger took back to those mories, the mory of him smiling at , his hand on my face, his voice beside , his words of love.
"(Calm down, Adella... calm down... don't lose yourself in hatred again...!)" ()
My emotions were in turmoil, ever since I heard about him from Wendel, it was as if a dam had broken inside , emotions that I thought I had left behind, emotions that I thought were buried in the past resurfaced like a raging titan inside .
His face stamped on my mind with every thought, his smile turning into whispers in my ears the more my murderous intent grows.
Every ti I close my eyes a different mory of him cos to mind, the anger never goes away, the hatred only grows, the fury spreads more and more threatening to make return to that bestial state again.
"Adella!" (Nix)
"Huh...?" ()
"Nix...?" ()
Suddenly a hand shakes my right shoulder and my vision is in front of , Nix was looking at with concern and looking out the window the light beca brighter, it was already dawn.
"(For how many hours was I distracted by those damn mories...?)" ()
"Are you okay? What the hell happened to you!?" ()
"Soone used to contact the master, at least that's what he said, I don't know anything else." (Nix)
"But why were you still like that?" ()
"The master sealed my consciousness to control my body more easily, when I was used as a ans to get to him, that seal beca much stronger, I couldn't do anything but wait." (Nix)
"Zenos said sothing about..." ()
"Adella! Do you have any idea what was happening to you!?" (Nix)
"What are you talking about?" ()
"Your eyes were purple, a cursed energy was being emitted throughout your body, fortunately we had the master's stigma, thanks to that this cursed energy was all consud by the marks on your arm, otherwise we would have already been discovered!" (Nix)
Sigh
"Look at the state of your body." (Nix)
"..." ()
I look at my hands that are covered in wounds, my clothes are embedded in blood and corroded, running my hand over my face I feel traces of thick blood in my eyes.
I look inside myself, the blood vessels were normal, but I could see traces of recently healed wounds, my energy was strange, traces of cursed energy were flowing along with my power, my emotions clearly feeding this corrupt energy.
Fortunately it seems that this energy is slowly being sucked by the stigma that Zenos placed on my arm.
"(What happened to !?)" ()
"I'm fine..." ()
"No, you're not fine, but I can't expect anything better." (Nix)
"The master left instructions with the Ascendants' plans, he's going to be a distraction and wants us to invade the prisons before the Ascendants." (Nix)
"Then let's go, what are you waiting for!?" ()
"Adella, whatever you want to say or do to him, you'll have to wait." (Nix)
"..." ()
"We can't let them find out about us or the traitors, we'll be in enemy territory too, don't put us all at risk." (Nix)
"I'll control myself." ()
"I hope so or soone might end up dying and none of us want to regret it..." (Nix)
"..." ()
I knew she was trying to remind of the pain of my past regrets, trying to use it to strengthen my will, even though it's sothing that hurts , it's also sothing to keep under control.

Pov Zenos:
I opened my eyes to find Barerosa kneeling near the wall looking at , her two pairs of wings closed around her like a feather blanket, not far from her my hand was crossed-legged reviewing the plan information with holographic screens around it, it must be the preparations I asked them to make.
"Commander, I'm glad to see you awake, the other Commanders left a notice of the mission starting in less than 3 hours." (Barerosa)
"My Lord, all the preparations have been made as ordered, I double-checked to be sure." (Mother)
"Where are Wendel and Boris?" ()
"Boris is with the Golem controllers, they all acted together for better coordination." (Barerosa)
"Wendel is preparing for the Ritual along with those focused on magic under the leadership of Commander Collins." (Barerosa)
"Very well, then let's finish our part too, shall we?" ()
Looking at Barerosa I begin to understand so things, mainly how she beca an Ascendant even with this bottomless thing inside her.
Ohara gave so good information, but she didn't say anything about those who, like her, are Pride Troopers, at least she told a little about Maximus and also the location of Vecna, one of the leaders of the Level 4 Ascendants.
But I couldn't find out more about the Progenitors or what she wanted to talk about regarding the Abyss, it seems to be so kind of forbidden knowledge, but when I spoke to Davoth his expression was one of horror, he knows sothing and clearly wanted to talk, even so he remained silent in the end.
There are many things I don't know and many movents in the shadows around , I'm blind to the path I'm taking in the midst of this danger and I don't like it, but I have no choice but to continue on this path.
I can only do one thing at a ti, after I finish this rescue I can finally focus on the real mission, I have many things to do and I shouldn't need to complete missions for the Ascendants anymore to keep hidden, the missions I've already completed and participated in will cover for long enough.
Even so, I have to know more about the enemy in front of , Davoth doesn't know who it could be and Ohara couldn't tell , the Ascendants don't know who it could be either, but I have a feeling it must be an Avatar and with my luck this can basically be confird.
"(System, can you hear my thoughts, who is leading the Pride troops here?)" ()
Ding!
