The vision faded away as Ror'od stood before Amra in the meadow. The girl was completely stunned, at a loss even. Her stomach curled with discomfort and the chills were only just now fading away on her arms.
"They... they couldn't have."
"Child, my kind can not tell lies."
Amra nodded sullenly. She knew it to be true.
"Why? Why would they do it?"
"For power."
Amra shook her head.
"For entertainment."
She was almost heartbroken for the Aqashi tribe.
"What of Xyris? Did she lose power?"
Ror'od shrugged.
"Xyris did nothing wrong."
Amra jerked her head towards the Daedra in protest.
"How could she possibly have not been in the wrong?"
"The Goddess of Chaos wreaking chaos is exactly as it should be."
Amra still couldn't shake the sickened feeling. She knew that the spirits lived a life she could not comprehend and that their rules were much different.
The Dillucke family had done an unspeakable evil. The sort of evil that even the gods cannot justify and it was really no wonder they'd ended up the way they did.
"You are to meet a hero soon."
Amra's brows furrowed with complete confusion.
"A hero? Of Dillac?"
Ror'od shook their ever twirling head and laid out in the periwinkle blue grasses of the meadow. The being stretched like a cat and moved almost disinterestedly.
"A hero from elsewhere, who will soon rule Dillac."
Amra feared the worst now. It did not seem that Fallburne would be able to prevent war at all. Rather it looked like the war was to get more complicated.
"What of the sap?"
"The Dillucke family can never have the sap. The spirit realm would not have it."
The girl's head sunk deep down and she buried her hands in her lap. Fallburne was to go to war. Dillac was to go to war. Hell, war was unavoidable to either side and it wouldn't surprise her if Taudor somehow found themselves caught in the mix.
"Amra Yelran?"
Amra looked up at Ror'od and screamed, stumbling back a little. The Daedra was now wearing Acoris' face and form, staring at her. Though she could spot the clone a mile away, Acoris never stood with his back straight, regardless of the circumstances. Regathering her senses, she calmed a little.
"Yes, Ror'od?"
"You have to protect Acoris."
Amra's heart grew heavy and cold with fear in an instant. She bid a rushed thank you to the spirit and returned to the land of the living.
