       The traveler and the rest have already started their plan, your only responsible in joining the traveler with Alhaitham to the Grand Sage office. Everything is going smoothly, too smoothly for your liking, of course you do have you secret backup in Advidiya forest, waiting for your signal. 

     'Are we ready to go?' Alhaitham asked, looking up from his book. The traveler nodded as he motioned you to follow along. Which you didn't comply. 'You know, last I came here. I made a scene. Give me a second.' As you said that, you have turned into a raven and rested on the traveler's shoulder. 

     Alhaitham is very interested in your powers however there are more important things at hand. You could already see Khaos' face staring at you giving you an unamused look. No matter, this form is quite easy to hide yourself from plain sight. 

     'Are you sure we can just walk in like we didn't just tried to run away from the Akademiya?' Paimon whispered to the both you as she slowly followed along. 'Everyone is busy today, so there won't be much scholars around to be suspicious of us. As well as you are with me.' Alhaitham answered for the two of you. 

     'Remember you have a well thought out plan, everything will be alright.' You commented as you flew away to hide from prying eyes and ears. 

      


      Everything went according to plan, too according to plan. The Grand Sage 'kidnapping' Alhaitham as well as Aether and Paimon as you slowly followed them up the lift which directly connects the Grand Sage's office to the main Library.  

      A really interesting choice. 

      'Azar! You betrayed the nation's trust! Betrayed it's archon!' Alhaitham yelled out as his akasha slowly turned red affecting his eyes. In a mere second, Alhaitham quickly launched at Azar, almost knocking the arrogant sage over. 

     This wasn't part of the plan. His lines have changed. Calm, Y/N calm it's okay. You couldn't help but turned back and take your human form again, carefully not to make any noise as currently, your up in the ceiling of the Grand Sage's office hanging off a bar that was conveniently there. The guards have knocked out Alhaitham and escorted him away, guards also have slowly cornered Aether and Paimon taking them away to be locked up. 

     Everyone left leaving the Grand Sage alone in his office. It's time for your part to act. 

     'Time to use my mimic skills to act. It's going to take a while, Nilou got sick this morning.'  You took a deep breath and started talking. 


      'Azar, what is the first principle of wisdom?' 

      Alerted, Azar jumped from his chair quickly to look around. 'You have betrayed a god. A god, whom your suppose to protect! A god, I entrusted to the sages.' You continued, careful not to make any suspicious noise now that Azar is up and walking about.

     'Who are you! Show yourself!' Azar demanded but there was no response.

      'While my name is sung with high praises, my successor, whom I entrusted to the sages. Her name is mentioned in venom, bitter and disgust.' You proceeded, holding back insults at Azar. 

      'Greater Lord Rukkhadevata? Is that really you?' Azar exclaimed, slightly excited at the voice he is hearing right now, which he thought that belonged to God he so adores. 

      'You are not worthy to speak my name, Azar. I have freed the true God of Wisdom. Go see for yourself.' You finished, slowly landing in the shadows waiting for Azar to leave in panic. 

      As expected, Azar fled in panic. Which gave you a window to insert the knowledge capsule that Aether has previously tampered with. 

     'Lesser Lord Kusunali has escaped the Sanctuary of Surasthana! Capture her at all cost!' An order was issued through the Akasha to all of soliders in corps of thirty, making them rushing towards the Sanctuary of Surasthana in hopes to capture Nahida.

      'You should go soon, the Anubis kid might need some help.' You heard Khaos' voice in your head urging you to hurry. With a snap of your hand, you teleported right next to Cyno, waiting for Azar to appear. 

     

     'You ready Guardian?' You asked, nudging his elbow giving him a sly smile. Cyno gave you a nod, which is enough to tell you that he is also ready to give Azar a trauma of a life time. 

      Azar rushed in, in return you closed the doors quickly which caused him to jump slightly. 'Azar, when you said I have no authority to judge you. How about this time in front of the God herself.' Cyno called out, slowly walking out from the shadows. 

     Azar slowly backed away until he felt his back hitting against something, turning around hallucinating Nahida standing there before him, as he rubbed his eyes, she disappeared, reappeared as she was always, trapped in the same cage for 500 years. 

     'My~ you are fairing a bit tiny scared over here.' You knelt down next to Azar, using the voice you mimic in a way taunting him. 'It was you!' Azar was quick to lay a punch on your face, which you dodged easily. His punches were sloppy and slow which wasn't worth in parrying against. 

    'Release her, before I destroy your arms.' You threatened, a dark aura forming around you. 'I don't fall under any law, so don't try get out from this.' 


     After a very convincing chat with Azar, you were able to release Nahida from her imprisonment, you carefully caught her, waiting for her to wake up by herself. Cyno has left with Azar arrested to be dealt with later. 

     'Lesser Lord, are you there?' You whispered, as you felt Nahida slowly regaining her consciousness. Nahida slowly opened her eyes to adjust to the bright light in Sanctuary of Surasthana, before speaking. 

     'I recognize your voice.. Thank you.' Nahida said, as you were quicky to push the achievements onto Aether. 'Hang in there, we will help you regain your role as the God of Wisdom, Sumeru's rightful Archon.'
