(A/N: Ngl I got pretty bored writing this entire chapter except for Seris pov. Hope you guys enjoy it though)

Seris POV:

I believe sending Caera over to Dicathen would be good for her. She can learn for herself that the "Facts" the Vitra spread are none other than cold hearted lies. When she arrives, the Dwarven King would most likely send her to become an adventurer along with that boy.

'I hope her presence is enough to help mages over there become stronger for this upcoming war in a couple decades, but I can only speculate.' However, I do know matter a factly she needs to run into the power Agrona sensed a few years ago and become a trusted ally.

Those two beings Agrona brought to this world, and the idea of a third is sickening. Playing around with other people's lives not even from this world, is sickening. The fact the only one of them managed to land in a host on Alacrya went as planned, but not so much for the second. His soul zipped across the oceans and landed inside Dicathen.

Much to the annoyance of Agrona, he wanted to retrieve the baby immediately but ultimately just decided against it. It'll be easier to find him later when the war begins.

However, I see this as the perfect moment to seize and over throw Agrona and his followers. He told me and Cadell of how he believes that spike in power was one of Kezess's "lap dogs", but I know all to well, that it has to be Grey.

It's too much of a coincidence, an Asura of that caliber wouldn't have been slow enough to allow his Aura to be sensed.

As I turned a corner in these endless halls in Agrona's Castle. I spotted Cadell walking down towards the underground caves, where Agrona experiments on newly awakened Vitra blooded Alacryans. Following behind him was a sleep deprived Nico, my eyes furrowed and blood boiled at the fact they'd even do it to a mere child who was 8 years old. Calming myself down, I continued walking down the hall

After Caera decided to hide the fact she manifested her Vitra blood while training with me, I handed her a relic that could change her appearance, hiding her horns in the process. This allowed it so she can continue living her life as normal and not be turned into a soIdier for war. I couldn't allow her to be experimented on as all the countless lives Agrona sacrificed, for his own petty revenge.

However, Agrona does have plans to adjust Caera's memories, so she can't blow her mission or spread any information about Alacrya to who he considers lessers. I won't allow that to happen of course, I plan to undo his magic the night before they're to be sent off through the teleportation gate within the Castle. She must remain with her memories of her homeland and what she'll be learning while living in Dicathen.

I was soon stopped by none other than Cadell, he had just sent Nico, the boy soon to become known as Elijah Knight in a few years. Down where Agrona is waiting, so he can be experimented on. Once done apparently at the appropriate age his power would be on par with us Scythes, i don't know how close but still, another Scythe would be troublesome in the future. My attention was brought back to Cadell.

He asked me why I decided on sending my "lesser brat" along with his, in a much less upbeat attitude. I simply remarked that sending two is always better than one. Even if one were to die, we'll still have the other child to use for getting more information on the continent.

Cadell asked, "And if they were both to fail?"

I simply said, "Then Agrona shall take my head"

He stared at me for a few moments, almost as if trying to see through my mind but ultimately left. After a few seconds ticked by, my retainer appeared beside me, asking if he'll be going along with the children.
