00:30...and gave her 300 years of happiness.
00:32Over the years, every rare herb we could find in the Three Realms went straight into her body.
00:36She's enjoyed all of this. It's only fair she repays it to Lyra now.
00:39Standing outside the heavy doors, I felt as if the heavenly lightning had struck me all over again.
00:45I stumbled back to my room, my entire body trembling uncontrollably.
00:48My blood ran cold.
00:50The suffocating terror mirrored exactly how I felt on the day I married Seravius.
00:55During that wedding, Seravius had suddenly turned on me.
00:58He stole my septal, critically wounded me, and butchered my people.
01:05As I lay dying, the Lord of the Underhill defied the heavens to save me.
01:09He risked his life to protect me and made me his wife.
01:13After we married, his devotion had utterly flawless.
01:16I had been pregnant for 99 years.
01:19In just one more year, the child would be born.
01:21He had promised me that once the baby arrived, he would accompany me back to the heavenly realm to take
01:25back everything Seravius had stolen.
01:27I believed him.
01:28I loved him with every fiber of my being.
01:30Never in my wildest nightmares did I imagine he merely saw me as a vessel.
01:34An incubator meant to resurrect the woman he truly loved.
01:37Seeing my violent trembles, my handmade iris rushed over with a blanket, thinking my chronic illness was acting up.
01:42My lady gets cold so easily.
01:44The Lord commanded that you must drink your herbal tonic after lunch.
01:48He even had the starlight blooms brought down from the heavenly realm to replenish your divine power.
01:53Iris was a healer handmaid Aetherian had specifically brought from the heavenly realm to serve me.
01:58She knew how impossibly rare starlight blooms were.
02:00They grew only on the highest cliffs of the heavenly domains, blooming once every few centuries, and withered the moment
02:06sunlight touched them.
02:07For our 300 years of marriage, Aetherian had treated me like glass.
02:12Knowing I missed my home, he frequently sent his men to procure heavenly artifacts just to make me smile.
02:17The underworld was perpetually freezing, so he built me a climate-controlled palace modeled exactly after my home in the
02:22heavens.
02:23Afraid I would be lonely, he moved his study here, working by my side every day.
02:27Saving me had left him with lingering injuries.
02:29Whenever he overworked himself, he suffered agonizing pain, but he would always smile through it, telling me that as long
02:34as I was safe, every sacrifice was worth it.
02:37His sincerity had won me over.
02:38Once I learned I was pregnant, I swore I would protect this child with my life, but it was all
02:42a lie.
02:43Everything he did was for Lyra.
02:44He even planned to strip me of my divine power and hand it over to her once she was born.
02:49As I forced down the bitter tonic, the movements in my womb grew violently erratic.
02:53Blinding pain ripped through my abdomen, leaving me drenched in cold sweat.
02:56That was when the horrifying realization hit me.
02:59The tonic wasn't for me at all.
03:00He was feeding Lyra.
03:02He was accelerating her growth.
03:04No wonder normal divine pregnancies lasted 200 years, yet I was already showing signs of labor at 100.
03:09I took several deep, shethering breaths until my racing heart settled.
03:13The truth was crystal clear.
03:15It was all a meticulously crafted trap.
03:18But perhaps it wasn't too late to run.
03:20In our three centuries of marriage, he had never once taken me back to the heavenly realm, claiming my fragile
03:25body couldn't withstand the lightning bat lesion at Tenlin gates.
03:28But I'd rather take my chances with the heavenly tribulation than be discarded like trash after giving birth to Lyla.
03:34If I survived the lightning, I could return to the Dawn Temple and retrieve the primordial artifact my mother left
03:40me.
03:40Tears blurred my vision as I swallowed the remaining starlight bloom whole, roots and all.
03:45I made a vow.
03:46I would never let Lyra be born.
03:48And if I made it out alive, I would make Aetherian pay in blood.
03:51I channeled every ounce of my fading strength to suppress the violent movements in my womb.
03:57I coughed up a mouthful of blood, the crimson splatter staining a decorative chest nearby.
04:03It was the chest containing every gift he had given me during our courtship.
04:07Fighting through the agonizing cramps, I pulled out a magnificent gown woven entirely from gold threads.
04:14Aetherian had sort out the giant race, mining the purest ore from their ancient reserves.
04:19He spent three years drawing the gold into thread, weaving this gown stitch by stitch with his own hands.
04:25On our wedding day, dignitaries from across the three realms attended.
04:30There wasn't a soul who didn't envy me.
04:32But right now, the golden threads burned my eyes like needles.
04:36With a flick of my wrist, I summoned a flame.
04:39Fully intending to incinerate the dress, suddenly the door swung open.
04:44Aetherian walked in.
04:46Did you drink your medicine today, darling?
04:49What made you dig up the wedding dress?
04:51I heard the giants guarding the gold mines were imprisoned by the heavenly realm for 300 years for unelaparated mining.
04:59Now that our wedding is long past, why don't we melt this dress down and return the gold to them?
05:04Aetherian's face instantly dropped.
05:06No, I'm saving this dress for...
05:08He cut himself off, quickly recovering.
05:11Let's keep it as a momenti.
05:12After all, it's a testament to our love.
05:14Be good, Serafina.
05:16Put it back.
05:17Hearing the word love from his lips brought the memory of his conversation with Morpheus crashing back.
05:23A hot wave of fury surged through my veins.
05:26I ignited a fireball and hurled it straight at the gown.
05:29Aetherian lunged forward, plunging his bare hands into the magical flames to snatch the dress back.
05:34The fire instantly seared his flesh, leaving his hands blistered and bleeding.
05:39Yet he didn't even flinch.
05:40He just pulled the dress to his chest, whispering.
05:43As the hem of the gown tumbled from his arms, my eyes caught something stitched into the inner lining.
05:48Lyra, I froze.
05:50He had woven this dress by hand, alone.
05:53It wasn't for me.
05:54He had made it for Lyra.
05:55No wonder he panicked when I suggested melting it down.
05:58He was willing to burn his own hands to protect it.
06:00I reached out, ready to torch the entire chest of jewelry.
06:04Serafina, are you out of your mind?
06:07Keep throwing this tantrum and I'll throw you into the Abyss of Shadows.
06:11I flinched, all the color draining from my face.
06:14The Abyss of Shadows.
06:16That was the underworld's maximum security prison.
06:19Seeing my stricken expression, his tone softened.
06:23He reached out to pull me into an embrace.
06:26Serafina, I was joking.
06:28Promise me you won't touch these things again.
06:30And I'll make you your favorite honey-glazed figs.
06:34How does that sound?
06:35I bit the inside of my cheek so hard I tasted copper, refusing to speak.
06:40He tried to coax me a few more times, his voice a gentle hum,
06:44but I simply closed my eyes and turned my face away.
06:47Fine.
06:48Since you want to be stubborn, go cool your head in the deep dungeons.
06:52The Abyss of Shadows was a living nightmare.
06:54Mangled corpses and bleached bones.
06:56I held my swollen belly, carefully navigating the treacherous path.
07:00But by the time we reached the cell, my lower back felt like it was splitting in two.
07:04My lady, I really don't get it.
07:07The Lord treats you so well.
07:09Couples fight all the time.
07:11Why couldn't you just apologize?
07:13Did it really have to come to this?
07:15The other guard nodded in agreement.
07:17Knowing I was the Lord's wife, they didn't dare treat me roughly.
07:20Suddenly, a shrill, piercing female voice echoed from inside my womb.
07:25Punish her, you useless trash.
07:28Do you think she's here on vacation?
07:31I stared at my stomach in sheer horror.
07:33It was Lyra's voice.
07:35She had already developed awareness of the outside world.
07:38She was communicating with her former subordinates through my flesh.
07:43Lady Lyra, is it you?
07:46You're alive.
07:47Shut up!
07:49If you know it's me, then punish this bitch!
07:53If you disobey me, I'll make you wish you were dead when I get out!
07:58Lyra had been the underworld's war goddess.
08:01There wasn't a soldier in the realm who hadn't suffered under her command.
08:05The two guards exchanged a dark look, all prior hesitation vanishing.
08:09They dragged me toward the river of fire.
08:11Suspended over the roaring, molten current was an iron cage.
08:15They forced the cage open and shoved me inside.
08:17The moment my shoulder grazed the iron roars, I heard the sickening hiss of searing flesh.
08:22The stench of my own roasting skin flooded my nostrils.
08:24Lyra's soul temporarily detached from my womb, hovering nearby to revel in my agony.
08:29The cage was suffocatingly small.
08:32I couldn't even shift my weight.
08:34My clothes melted upon contact with the bars, dripping away in charred clumps.
08:38My bare skin pressed directly against the superheated metal.
08:41It blistered, split, and bled.
08:43But the blood evaporated into steam before it could even hit the ground.
08:46I convulsed in agony.
08:48I wanted to scream, but my throat was so storaged that no sound came out.
08:52Can't take it anymore, you pathetic bitch.
08:54The river of fire won't kill a god, but it will make every inch of your body remember what pain
09:00is.
09:01How long do you think it'll take before you pass out?
09:03A day?
09:04Three days?
09:05I didn't answer.
09:06I didn't have the strength left to try.
09:08Time lost all meaning.
09:10My consciousness began to fray.
09:11I couldn't feel my arms or legs anymore.
09:13The only thought echoing my shattered mind was, I am going to die.
09:17In the palace, Aetherian finished preparing the honey-glazed figs.
09:20He wiped his hands and mentally linked with the guards.
09:23Has she learned her lesson?
09:24If she's done reflecting, bring her up.
09:27I made her favorite pastries.
09:29We can go for a walk after she eats.
09:31My lord, the lady hasn't said a word.
09:34She's just been pretending to sleep.
09:36Through the mental link, they sent him a manipulated visual of me curled up on the ground, my clothes intact,
09:41breathing steadily, making it look as though I was merely napping in an ordinary cell.
09:45Keep her locked up!
09:47I refuse to believe I can't break her stubbornness!
09:51Smashing the plate of honey-glazed figs to the floor.
09:53Seeing me on the brink of death, Lyra panicked that she might lose her host.
09:56She quickly darted back into my womb, using her own divine power to shield my heart.
10:01But she wasn't showing mercy.
10:02She deliberately kept me conscious, crashing violently inside my stomach so I would feel every agonizing second of the flames.
10:08The pain was unbearable.
10:10I knew she was doing it on purpose, but I was completely powerless to suppress her.
10:14You whore!
10:15You took advantage of my death to steal Aetherian, hoarding everything that belonged to me!
10:20Today, I'm going to make you pay it back tenfold!
10:24Lyra screamed as she punched and kicked my insides.
10:26Cold sweat poured down my face as my bloody hands gripped the red-hot iron bars so hard the metal
10:31warped
10:31Stop struggling!
10:32Just enjoy the ride!
10:35Her phantom hand reaching up to squeeze my heart.
10:37Right as my vision went black from lack of oxygen, she'd let go, only to do it again and again,
10:42treating my torture like a morbid game.
10:44Just as the pain reached a breaking, a brilliant golden light erupted from my chest.
10:48Strange, ethereal threads extended from my body, surging with an unfamiliar, chaotic divine power that nearly blew the iron cage
10:54apart.
10:54In the royal bedroom, Aetherian had just hugged my pillow, preparing to sleep, when his heartily started racing.
11:01Serafina!
11:03The guards just reported that the lady is still resting, my lord.
11:06It's almost midnight, why not check on her tomorrow?
11:09A night of sleep might be exactly what she needs to see reason.
11:14Aetherian nodded slowly and lay back back to him.
11:17Down by the river of fire, my handmaid Iris dropped to her knees in front of my cage, sobbing uncontrollably.
11:22My lady!
11:25Who did this to you?
11:27When my divine power leaked, she sensed it and used the cloaking spell I had taught her to sneak into
11:32the dungeons.
11:32I was too weak to even open my eyes.
11:35I only recognized her by her voice.
11:37Unable to speak, I gathered enough strength to trace letters in the ash on the floor.
11:42She pulled out the ones I hadn't finished.
11:43Twelve stalks in total.
11:45Ignoring my scorched, bleeding throat, I swallowed them all at once.
11:48Twelve starlight blooms will only buy you two hours of power!
11:51What will you do after that?
11:52I offered her a weak, blood-stained smile.
11:55Two hours.
11:56That was more than enough time to fly to the heavenly realm and force a miscarriage.
11:59The temporary surge of divine power gave me the strength to suppress Lyra and heal the superficial burns covering my
12:04body.
12:05I blasted my way out of the Abyss of Shadows and shot upward, hurtling straight towards the heavenly realm.
12:10Half an hour later, the magical ring on my finger vibrated.
12:13Aetherian's voice echoed in my mind.
12:15Seraphina, where are you?
12:17Come back.
12:17I made the honey-glazed figs.
12:19It was an artifact we forged together when we married, allowing us to communicate across realms.
12:23I ignored him, pushing myself to fly faster.
12:26Seraphina!
12:27Stop hiding from me!
12:28My patience is wearing thin!
12:30Then, I heard the blood-glading screams of the two guards through the connection.
12:34Deep in the Abyss of Shadows, Aetherian stood before the molten cage.
12:38His face twisted into a mask of pure terror and rage.
12:41His suffocating divine Arama crushed the soldiers to the floor.
12:43The cage had been scrubbed clean, completely devoid of my presence.
12:47But it was too clean.
12:48That was what made him suspicious.
12:50He had sentenced a heavenly aura here last night.
12:52Why was it completely gone now?
12:54The lady just vanished out of nowhere.
12:55My lord, we swear we had nothing to do with it.
12:58Find her!
13:00The entire Abyss was turned upside down.
13:02The river of fire raged, torturing the damned souls within.
13:06And the underheld echoed with screams of agony.
13:08Where is she?
13:10How can there be no trace of her?
13:12Aetherian was losing his mind.
13:13His eyes bloodshot from days without sleep.
13:15The ring pulsed wildly with his calls.
13:17Hardening my heart, I ripped the ring from my finger and hurled it into the void below.
13:21Finally severing his hold on me.
13:23Just before my divine power ran dry, I breached the heavenly gates.
13:27Before my feet could even touch the ground, a massive bolt of heavenly lightning struck down from the sky.
13:32I channeled the very last remnants of the starlight womb's power to brace myself.
13:36But the impact sent me crashing to the floor, coughing up blood.
13:39When I tried to push myself up, I realized my body was completely empty.
13:44I had no divine power left.
13:46Freed from my suppression, Lila began screaming from inside my womb.
13:49You crazy bitch!
13:51What are you doing?
13:52If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!
13:54Go back!
13:55The second bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
13:57My war god armor manifest, shielding me from the catastrophic blow.
14:01Lila instantly stopped screaming.
14:03The armor shattered, the back lacked searing my flesh and heavily wounding her soul inside me.
14:08But it wasn't enough.
14:09I wanted her dead.
14:10Down in the underworld, Aetherian heard the thunderclaps and finally realized what was happening.
14:14I was being judged by the heavenly tribulation.
14:16Pain ripped through his chest as he shot toward the heavens.
14:20As the third and deadliest bolt of lightning descended, he arrived just in time to intercept half of the blast.
14:25Even though he absorbed most of it, I had nothing left to defend myself.
14:29I collapsed, my abdomen erupting in blinding agony.
14:33Serafina, are you insane?
14:34But a split second before he reached me, Lyra tore her way out of my body.
14:40Aetherian, save me!
14:42This bitch tried to kill me with the lightning!
14:45But she looked nothing like the majestic portraits Aetherim kept hidden in his study.
14:49Half of her face was mangled by horrific burn scars, devoid of any war goddess glory.
14:55The lightning damage and the premature birth had rumened her.
14:58She glared at me with pure venom, stumbling forward with her hands outstretched, trying to strangle me.
15:05I threw my hand up to push her away.
15:08With her weakened state, she flew backward like a paper doll, crashing directly into Aetherian's arms.
15:15Aetherian, I just wanted to help her up, and she tried to push me off the edge of the realm!
15:20Aetherian raised his hand and struck me hard across the face.
15:24The slap echoed like a gunshot.
15:25Serafina, you heartless monster!
15:28You tried to use the heavenly lightning to execute Lyra, leaving her disfigured and premature.
15:33For 300 years, I treated you like a queen.
15:36I merely borrow your womb.
15:38I never intended to harm you.
15:40How could you be this vicious?
15:41I couldn't speak.
15:43I just stared at him.
15:44My face is ruined.
15:47I'd rather be dead than live like this.
15:50Just kill me.
15:54No, no, I have a way to fix you.
15:55Just trust me.
15:57What way?
15:58Flaying the skin off my face and grafting it onto hers.
16:01I spat out another mouthful of blood.
16:03I didn't have the energy to argue anymore.
16:05I didn't even want to.
16:07Lyra was the one trying to kill me.
16:09But the moment she pleaded the victim, he believed her without a second thought.
16:14I was lying there in a pool of my own blood.
16:16My armor shattered to pieces, yet all he saw was her.
16:20I looked down at my broken body.
16:22The humiliation of being exiled from the heavenly realm years ago washing over me anew.
16:27A sphere of fire ignited in Aetherian's palm, ready to strike me down.
16:32But before he could cast it, a blinding beam of white light shot from the distance.
16:36I didn't see who cast it before the world went black.
16:39I don't know how long I was out, but I woke up in a massive, sunlit bed.
16:43I shifted my limbs.
16:45The agonizing heaviness was gone.
16:47The burns from the heavenly lightning had vanished without a trace.
16:51But what truly shocked me was the power stirring deep within my soul.
16:55It felt as though an ancient entity inside me was slowly opening its eyes.
16:59The last thing I remembered was Assyrian preparing to execute me.
17:03Why was I perfectly fine, lying in this lavish palace?
17:06I bolted upright in shock.
17:08A man in flowing white robes, wearing a crown of golden laurel leaves, walked into the room.
17:14Seeing me awake, his face lit up, and he pulled me into a tight embrace.
17:18Serafina, you're finally awake.
17:20Does anything hurt?
17:22I stared at him in bewilderment.
17:24Realizing my confusion, he offered a fond, indulgent smile and gently flicked my forehead.
17:29A flood of memories that didn't belong to me, crashed into my mind.
17:33When I was expelled from the heavenly realm three centuries ago, a single tear I left behind
17:38drifted to the steps of this very palace.
17:40The domain of the primordial god Orion.
17:43The tear transformed into a tiny, ethereal serpent made of light.
17:47Orion kept the little light snake as a pet.
17:49Over the last 300 years, bathed in the spiritual energy of a primordial god, the serpent slowly
17:55took on my physical form.
17:57Orion had offered to reconstruct a proper physical body for her, but she refused.
18:03Because a Tyrion had cloaked my aura in the underworld, Orion couldn't locate me.
18:08Thank you for treating me with such care, but I am not her.
18:13I cannot stay here.
18:15I tried to pull away.
18:16He leaned in and kissed me fiercely.
18:18The sensation was dizzying, of the serpent's desperate longing and my own instinctive resistance.
18:24I didn't know whether to push him away or kiss him back.
18:27He kissed me until my mind went blank.
18:29He suddenly froze.
18:31He pulled back, chest heaving.
18:33I'm sorry.
18:34I forgot you just gave birth.
18:37Your body is still recovering.
18:39I rushed this.
18:41Focus on healing first.
18:42I hastily pulled my robes up, but a wave of profound gratitude washed over me.
18:47Unlike a Tyrion, Orion understood boundaries.
18:50I was desperate to regain my strength so I could exact my revenge.
18:54Seeing my urgency, Orion literally extracted his own divine power and infused it into my veins.
19:00He fed me countless celestive herbs.
19:02Within a week, 30-40% of my original power had returned.
19:06More importantly, the dormant power of fate inside me was slowly awakening.
19:11Just as I was plotting my revenge on my ex-husband, Seravius, the bastard delivered himself to my doorstep.
19:17Seraphina, my beautiful fiancé.
19:19It was my father who forced me to take your seppler that day.
19:22There hasn't been a single day in the last 300 years that I haven't thought of you.
19:26Will you return to the heavenly realm and be my queen?
19:29He put on a masterful display of remorse, but my heart felt nothing but venomous hatred.
19:34I knew exactly what had happened.
19:35He stole the Scepter of Dawn to murder his own father and seize the throne.
19:39No one forced him.
19:41It was his choice.
19:42He knew I was suffering in the underworld for three centuries, yet he never once came looking for me.
19:47He was only here because he sensed my power growing.
19:51The Scepter of Dawn was reacting to its true master, and he was losing control of it.
19:56I was going to make him pay for the humiliation of my exile and the 300 years of torture in
20:01the underworld.
20:01Today, even if it cost me my life, I would have my revenge.
20:05Gripping the Starforged sword Orion had given me, I charged.
20:09Seravius stood his ground, a sickeningly arrogant smirk playing on his lips.
20:12He knew my body was still weak, and I didn't have the seppler.
20:15His little apology speech was just a formality.
20:18He wanted to coax me back without a fight so he could torture me behind closed doors.
20:21During the clash, he tactically forced me backward, driving us down toward the mortal realm.
20:27The mortal world had no divine oversight, with his countless legions killing me quietly down there in child's play.
20:35Just as Seravius moved in for the kill, a blinding golden light struck the earth.
20:40Orion materiized out of thin air, throwing a protective arm in front of me.
20:44Seraphina, leave this filth to me.
20:48Don't dirty your hands.
20:49His divine arima erupted like a tidal ray.
20:53Even as the heavenly god-king, wielding two elemental stepsels,
20:57Seravius could barely hold his ground against the primordial god.
21:01Taking advantage of the distraction, I closed my eyes,
21:04reaching out with the threads of my returning power to summon the seppler of dawn from within Seravius' chest.
21:10Seravius gasped, cluffing his heart as he frantically tried to repress the weapon, but it was useless.
21:16The scepter ripped its way out of his chest and flew into my waiting hand, radiating a familiar, scorching warmth.
21:23The moment my fingers closed around the hilt, an explosive shockwave of light leveled the battlefield.
21:28It was singing for me.
21:29So what if you're the god-king?
21:31You touch my woman.
21:33You pay the ultimate price.
21:34With a mere flick of his finger, Orion yanked the second artifact, the Scepter of Thunder, straight out of Seravius'
21:41body.
21:42It floated in the air, humming with trapped lightning.
21:45You're... woman?
21:46Seravius choked out, his eyes wide with horror as his body ill-voluntarily dropped to its knees.
21:52She is my fiancée.
21:53Before he could finish, his divine form shattered, reverting to his true, pathetic shape, a plucked, golden crow.
21:59You murdered your wife and slaughtered your father.
22:02You deserve worse than death.
22:04With a sweeping gesture, he swatted the miserable bird over, the edge of the bottomless abyss.
22:09Seraphina, let's go home.
22:11The apples in the sanctuary orchard are ripe.
22:13I'll pick the sweetest ones for you.
22:15He pulled me into his arms, gazing at me with overwhelming tendness.
22:20I was moved by how fiercely he protected me, but my body still instinctively tent.
22:25I wasn't used to this kind of intimacy.
22:27In the brief moment I had summoned the Septal, I caught Orion glancing at me from the corner of his
22:32eye.
22:32It was a dark, complicated look.
22:34One I couldn't quite decipher.
22:36But regardless, he had just eradicated Seravius.
22:40He had helped me extract my revenge.
22:42I cast one last look towards the heavenly realm.
22:45A silent goodbye to my past.
22:47That night, back in Orion's sanctuary, my sleace plagued by violent nightmares.
22:52It started peacefully.
22:53My clan dancing and singing around a bonfire.
22:56Then, the world warped into hell.
22:59Severed limbs and fountains of blood flooded my vision.
23:02Sister, save me!
23:03Auntie, it hurts!
23:04The screams of my family tore through my skull.
23:07I shot up in bed, screaming, drenched in a cold sweat.
23:10A familiar voice broke through the panic.
23:13My lady, don't be afraid.
23:14It's just a nightmare.
23:15I blinked against the darknesses.
23:18It was Iris.
23:19How did you get to the sanctuary?
23:21Aetherian actually let you leave?
23:22Her eyes were red, her voice thick with tears.
23:25I missed you so much, my lady.
23:27I begged the Lord on my knees to let me go.
23:30When he heard I was coming to find you, he didn't stop me.
23:33She gently wiped the sweat from my forehead and offered me a cup of hot tea, carefully bringing
23:37it to my lips.
23:39Just as the rim touched my mouth, a memory sparked in my mind.
23:42By the way, when my uncle was injured by the Hydra, I heard you took care of him for three
23:47years before he recovered.
23:49I saw him in my dream just now.
23:51He said he misses you.
23:53Iris froze.
23:53A flicker of panic crossed her eyes before she nodded vigorously.
23:57I miss him every day, too.
23:59If Saravis hadn't been so cruel and banished our people, I could go back and see him right
24:04now.
24:04I stared into her eyes.
24:06They were beautiful, but entirely devoid of life.
24:09I backhanded the cup, splashing the scalding tea directly into her face.
24:13My uncle was killed instantly by the Titan gods!
24:17You never took care of him for three years!
24:20You're not Iris!
24:21As the enchanted tea burned her skin, thick green smoke bulldoed from her face.
24:27When the smoke cleared, it revealed Lyra's grotesquely scarred vizelage.
24:31She threw her head back and cackled.
24:34Iris has been dead for weeks!
24:36The moment she helped you escape, I threw her into the Abyss of Shadows!
24:40A pathetic little handmaid.
24:43She couldn't even survive the lightest torture.
24:45They flag her alive.
24:47She died screaming.
24:48It's a shame you saw through my disguise.
24:50I was going to trick you into coming back to the Underworld to butcher you properly.
24:55You pathetic bitch!
24:57I really underestimated you!
24:59Rage and grief blinded me.
25:00My hands shook violently.
25:02Iris had only survived the Heavenly Realm's purge because she had sneaked down to the mental
25:07world to play.
25:08Aethrian had moved mountains to find her and bring her to me.
25:11She was the very last of my bloodline.
25:14Unleashing my full divine power, I seized Lyra by the throat and dragged her out towards
25:18the Sanctuary's Judgment Cliff.
25:21Everything you did to me in the Abyss of Shadows, plus Iris' life, today you pay it all back!
