Elijah runs out of the temple and starts running through the streets.

Elijah:*To self*I gotta stop her!

From the streets, Elijah dodges right past someone in a hood.

Elijah:I'm so sorry!

The boy keeps running. The person in the hood looks up revealing herself to be Julia.

Julia:Elijah? *To self*What are you doing?

She puts her head back down and walks after Elijah. A few minutes later Elijah barges into the throne room. Adebayo instantly gets into a defensive position.

Adebayo:What do you think you're doing?

Aeolus:It seems the Capo has had some issues with training.

Elijah:You lied!

Aeolus:About?

Elijah:You said no one would get hurt as long as we complied. So why do I find out that you're going to kill everyone in the Realms just to protect your people?

A shocked expression appears on the Goddess's face.

Aeolus:I never said that? Who filled your head with lies?!

The Capo gets closer to the throne.

Elijah:I know exactly what you're planning, you can't hide it from me anymore. I'll stop you before you hurt anyone!

Adebayo:Stay away from her majesty!

Adebayo thrusts his spear forward, but it immediately gets stuck in sand.

Aeolus:I don't know who told you those lies but if you won't trust me it seems I'll have to take precautions, so you don't cause any trouble. Maybe let you think this all over before you create more issues.

Elijah:Oh I'm the one who's gonna RESOLVE THE ISSUES!

Aeolus:You'll lose if you raise your fist towards me.

Elijah:I have the keys to achieve True Aura. I'll be just enough to beat you.

Aeolus:Adebayo....

Adebayo:I know.

Adebayo grabs his staff and flies off. Elijah jumps back. Aeolus stands up from her throne.

Elijah:What are you planning?

Aeolus:I'm simply making sure my people aren't harmed during your tantrum.

Elijah:*Grunts*Enough!

The Capo jumps towards the Queen. Bullets of sand shoot at her as she just stands there. The bullets stop and drop mere inches away from her as if there was a barrier protecting her. All of a sudden the entire room is encapsulated in a heavy Aura. Elijah instantly gets forced to the ground and starts struggling to move as if his entire body was going against him.

Elijah:What's.... going on?!

He's able to lift up his head and sees Aeolus just standing.

Aeolus:It truly is a shame...

She starts walking down the stairs.

Aeolus:I was just getting to like you too.

Elijah starts to feel pain in his head.

Elijah:AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It was almost like someone had taken over his body. The Queen takes one step. Everything starts to seem like it was glitching through Elijah's vision. He sees monsters made out of aura and then he blinks. In doing so Aeolus was closer to the boy than she was before.
