“Heh… Fine…” Naybeah sneered in response, slowly raising her arms in the air at her side. “I will show you…” 

As if following her statement, suddenly the very nature of Naybeah’s aura had changed. A new, colder wind blew by, as her previous battle lust rapidly transformed -akin to evolving- into full-blown killing intent. 

A strange, mysterious bright colorless fire glimmered in her eyes. Her lush cold flocks fluttered as her new aura swirled around her like in, circling as if it was a barrier made out of the very force of nature itself.

Suddenly the ground began to quake as if a new primordial force was about to be unleashed. 

“Oh uh… This is bad…” Sara sighed, already knowing what was about to happen. 

“W-what is happening? What is she doing?” One of the guards asked, shocked, confused, and slightly frightened of what was going on.

“Is this…” Drake muttered, asking though mostly from himself. 

“Yeah. She is doing it.” 

“She called her sister for help… The amazon queen, Klemeia is coming!” Sara finished Scarlet’s words, sighing as she already felt her head aching from knowing all the trouble she will have to deal with in the resulting aftermath.

Whilst borrowing the tremendous divine force of her sister, a bonafide Demi-God, the Amazon Queen, Klemeia will surely grant her the edge that could finish their battle, it would also put on a huge strain on her body, and the resulting backlash would most likely knock her out as well, and maybe even send her into an extended, comatose state. 

Whilst that in itself would be a huge pain to deal with, once Aiden learns about this, she had no idea what he would do…

Whilst everyone was focused on the battle and the ‘arrival’ of Klemeia, this time invited by her sister willingly, at the back of the group, the two girls were focused on something else entirely.

As soon as Galina noticed the change in the connection she shared with her Young Master, Aiden, her face blossomed into a beautiful alluring smile. Her heart beat at a much faster rate and her face turned into a brighter, healthier shade of pink. 

When Lily noticed this sudden change in her sister’s look, she immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her away, to the back. 

“What is it? Did brother contact you?” Leaning closer to her ear, Lily asked hoping, anticipating the answer. Even though she knew that he was fine, and was doing his best, she still missed him dearly. She wanted nothing more than to be reunited with him. 

To Lily, and Galina for that matter, this whole event of gathering ‘treasures’ for Sara’s mother so that she could claim the title of City Lord meant absolutely nothing. Though she liked Sara’s and to have her company, she would rather be with her brother somewhere else entirely. 

She often found herself thinking and wishing to return to the old times, to their cozy little hut deep within the forest surrounding Higrove, be with their Master, Number 3, and Granny then with anything else.

Galina’s smile only widened as she looked at Lily. Without saying a word, she merely nodded her head and closed her eyes. 

She was focusing on the connection, signaling for the Young Master to pull her in and open the channel for her also. She also missed her brothers, her elders by now. Even though it was her decision and she never once regretted it to stay, instead of going to Haven like the rest of them, she still wanted to see them once more.

A moment later, the response came, and the channel was opened for her as well. The long-missed feeling of sensing, feeling the mental presence of everyone filled her mind and soothed her aching soul. Her smile blossomed even further, as she took a few moments to listen to her Young Master’s Master… Her Grandmaster’s voice as she chided Aiden.

‘Is that you, Aiden? You finally dare to contact us, after going silent for so long?’

Following the question, Galina could sense her Young Master’s overflowing emotions. Happiness, shock, surprise… a hint of dread, and even some trace of worry could also be felt before everything fused, merging into a deep and great sense of joy that exploded from deep within his heart, filling the entire channel with in almost no time at all.

‘Master!’

He exclaimed, speaking only a single word. Yet, this curt response carried much more than anything else he could have uttered. The trembling in his tone, as he clearly, visibly battling with his emotions…

On the other side, the group of the recently evolved group was listening in with bewilderment visible on each of their faces. Madam Dara, Lady Pyre, Draga, and the rest of the captains, now joined with Tak were shocked to hear and listen to so many new voices.

What was even more shocking to them, that the language they used… Though they were each fairly certain it was not their own and neither was anything reminiscent of their world’s at all, they could still understand everything that was said without issue.

They were confused and even slightly lost. So many powerful, unknown presences, each seemingly much closer to their Lord than themselves… with one very powerful one, that even he was speaking with such adoration, respect, and reverance. 

This person, this woman who seemed to be his Master from how he called out for her… They were shocked. Although for a certain ex-skink, now seductive mature beauty another ugly emotion, a hint of jealousy was also sparkling in the depths of her heart…

‘Hmpf! You dare to call me that, my little student? After all the years of teaching and effort, you are not even filial. You vanish for so long, leaving this lady behind whilst you go on your little journey!’ Number 3’s words filled the channel echoing powerfully as she complained.

Still, no one dared to speak, they could only listen as their elder chided, berated her prodigal student.

“M-master…” Aiden sighed, deciding not to argue with her. She was right. Although it wasn’t entirely his fault that he has gone rogue for so long, it still wasn’t right. He could have reached out, made some effort to understand how the connection truly worked, rather than summing it up as ‘It was probably broken’ and not bother with it at all.

‘Don’t you ‘M-master’ me mister! Where did you vanish off to? I can feel, that you are still not at Eora, but someplace else… What world is this?’ She asked, surprising Aiden once more at how perceptive she seemed to be. 

‘H-how?’ He muttered, asking the question. ‘How do you know, where I am?’
