Karxilia City / Morning / Falyria Journey's Ends

Falyria's condition is getting far worse as she had several feathers fell off from her body as time passes. She is walking with Gladyr as she is holding her mother since she is getting weaker every day coming by. They are walking in the hallways, and she is bringing her mother to her private quarters.

Princess Gladyr: Saria and Alaria have informed me that their tactical operation from last night was a success and manage to destroy the last remnants of the Conclaves and saved several kidnapped young Haroxians....

Empress Falyria: (Low tone) Good....

Princess Gladyr: Mother... I know you can survive this.
