"If you mean iris save your breath so you get to tell her the truth" Yami said "I didn't know I had a child...if I knew then maybe she wouldn't have suffered like she said she did" he said in tears "Julius" Yami said empathetic "don't tell her who her parents are, she already hates us if she finds out her parents are people with power and could easily come for her I fear what she would do" Julius said closing his eyes.
"Ah" iris said looking around alarmed "what's wrong?" Aura asked "nothing" she said Rhya released a lot of magic to self destruct "ahh!" Asta yelled hitting Rhya stopping his spell "seriously what's the matter with you guys?! You're mad at humans for taking something away from you right? Im still fuzzy on the details but we're all people! I want you to tell me your side of the story and then I'm gonna tell you mine and nobody's dying until that happens OK!" Asta yelled "good grief that pipsqeak really runs hot doesn't he" Zora said "one of his best qualities" Iris said giggling running to Asta and Mereoleona "were the same aren't we? We should be able to talk things over, both sides are mad because we lost someone we love. I've been thinking a lot about this, everyone is fighting because we can't forgive the other side so how do we get rid of all that anger and hatred? I know I'm not very smart so I can't come up with the right answer but we can do it, I mean we have to don't we whether you're nobility, a citizen, a commoner or even if you're not human I just want a kingdom where all of us get along and laugh together, and when I'm wizard king you'll see" Asta said causing Mereoleona and Iris to smile "look at him saying something so serious with such a silly looking face" Iris said giggling "hey Iris" Asta whined as she wrapped her arms around him "I love you" she said "then marry me!" He said blushing "let's not enter that point of life" She said giggling before Rhya glowed.
"Hey somethings not right" Zora said the light getting brighter "this is it, today we're gonna resume our true form and claim our old strength" Rhya said changing his form "run" iris said grabbing Asta and Mereoleona hand "what?" The woman asked following along "the mana it's too-" iris said falling face flat "what's wrong?" Zora asked "I guess the intense mana is affecting her sensitive have dragon body" Rhya said laughing 'my body, it's like absorbing all the mana around its killing em' she thought her horns slowly showing.
"Like I said deception is kinda my thing and since I'm a liar I can tell when other people are lying too. Look me anti-magic what you said a little while ago I know you meant every word, too bad really for a split second I was moved" Rhya said his hair changing attacking the group as mereoleona deflected his attacks "iris snap out of it! If you're not feeling good get up and get out of here" she said attacking Rhya who transported through portals.

"Alright! Flight armor!" Iris said armor appearing on her body as she swiftly striked Rhya "how?!" He said falling to the ground "iris!" Asta said relieved "don't look at me!" She yelled hiding her head and shutting her eyes "Irene" Mereoleona said as the ceiling collapsed "rill is that you?" Asta asked as the fight began.
"Hey Iris can you move? We're leaving" Zora asked after Mereoleona tossed the three somewhere safe "hey we can't just abandon her like that at this rate she won't make it out alive" Asta said "and if we go waltzing back in there without a solid plan then all of us won't make it back alive, you don't even have magic so you've got no idea how powerful these body snatchers are, do you seriously think I wanted to let a royal save my neck? Running away is our best shop of someone surviving this she was strong to make that choice so don't let it be for nothing runt" Zora said getting in Asta face "...Iris you okay?" Asta asked reaching his hand for her "please don't look at me, I look like a monster" she said her body trembling "urg what's with you?" Zora asked "I-if you want to save her you have to do it alone, I'm sorry I can't do it" she said hiding herself "ok" Asta said determined turning to Zora to come up with a plan.
"Iris what's wrong?" Aura asked getting in Iris face worried "I can't do it, I really want to fight but I can't not while the mana is making me look like this" she said showing her golden eyes, tan skin and her black horns "your dragon form...Asta, Zora I'll take Iris and get far away from here" Aura said flying to the two "to where?" Asta asked "she can't fight because of the mana I'm a light spirit so I can take somewhere with less people so she can calm down" aura said "ok stay safe" Asta said watching aura drag Iris away.
"Monster! Look at those horns, demon" people in Iris memories said glaring at her with contempts "Ngn ahh" Iris groaned in her sleep "the mana in the air is speeding up her dragon awakening, cmon Iris if you can overcome this you'll be the most powerful person here" Aura said sitting beside her worried 'where am I?' Iris asked in a dark space in her mind 'all the rampaging mana from earlier are gone, what a tranquil world I am in right now' she thought closing her eyes peacefully 'Iris, don't give up the people you love, everyone is in danger wake up" a woman said her voice reaching Iris "sister" she mumbled tears streaming down her face "Iris, ah the place is gonna collapse let's get outside this place at least" Aura said using her magic to cause Iris to float.
