"They had warned us that knockout gas would be used if she acted out again," says Candice. Umana slowly steps forward to Blances and asks softly, "Blances...do you...remember when you first showed up here? You were practically freezing to death, so I gave you warmth."

Rix leans back in her chair and says, "Good."

Eziko sees two figures approach the statue and mumbles to herself, "The first two victims arrive, but let's see if we can draw in some more."

The monitor switches to the Will-o-the-Wisp, whose body is now glowing orange and floating just outside of Veritatem, sipping from a cup of tea. "Embrie, see if you can't increase the attractiveness of our gift, I want as many people around that thing as possible for when we give them the grand finale," Eziko whispers, just softly enough for Rix to not here.

Embrie smiles and says, "Right away."

She produces a tiny cube and opens it. Inside is a small green button that she presses.

In the courtyard, the eyes of the statue begin to glow a bright purple and cheerful music starts to play, echoing across the entire palace.

"Let's see what's in it," I say as I open the letter and begin to read it.

It reads: General Mythria Gahillo

''For years, I have trusted you. I always had faith in your guidance and leadership. I fought by your side when we ended the Order's attempt at a coup to overthrow our monster-friendly government. I fought by your side when we aided the city in fending off multiple Order sieges. I never agreed with the Order, but I also never agreed with the ideas of Druella, a radical mamono. But...what you have done now...I can never forgive you for. I never thought that you would sink to her level of disgusting treachery, but your betrayal was the ultimate proof of that. I warned you of what they had planned for the city, but you never listened to me, you knew about it, and you were directly involved in it. Now, what was once a proud city that prized itself on peace between humans and monsters, has now become the one thing that I feared most...a Demon Realm. Please understand that I do not despise monsters, but I can not rest until you are gone from this world. You are now nothing more than a cancer that needs to be eliminated. If you think that I am just speaking folly, then maybe I will kidnap your son to demonstrate how serious I really am.

I didn't want it to come to this, but it now seems like this is the path that I must travel.

Your Former Friend and Officer

Ronata S. ''

I slowly lower the note onto the table, shock slowly forming on my face. I look to Star and ask, "So, Wavedraw really did become a Demon Realm, and now she's pissed and wants to take down my mother!?"

Star points to the letter and says, "Judging by what's written in the note, yup!"

Feeling light-headed, I plop down into the chair. "Mom, why?" I wonder out loud.

(BTW, did you read Purple Skies, it's in my blogs, but I also posted a link to it somewhere above.)
