“How so?”

“You give false illusions……..why?” Daiya smiling at Ausha in admiration slowly walks towards her. Ausha watching her approach prepares for the unknown. Daiya is far from a fool although the words Ausha spoke where prideful and full of conviction she saw vulnerability in her eyes. Since she had been forthcoming with her she felt the need to render the favor.

“There will be no punishment as the truth spills from tongue.”

“I defied orders failing to perform duties required of me a consequence punishable by death why show leniency?”

“Your feelings towards me are just however in regards to your feelings I do not feel the same.”

“Your meaning.”

“Now you have commanded my respect,” Grabbing the hood from her cloak she pulls it up over her head existing the main entrance into the night not giving answer to Aushas question.

Fleeing the scene at top speeds the wind ripped across their faces as they created distance between themselves and the woman who stilled the life of Nemesis. Images of her carving away at the arms and legs of their fellow soldier while she was alive were thoughts they struggled to remove from memory.

“Someone speak.”

The other soldiers look at her and then at each other. It was clear they all shared the same sediments and thoughts. Fearing they would come across as weak failing the mission given to them they needed an explanation to provide to the queen.

“No one has nothing to say!?” After 30 seconds of silence the soldier with the blonde hair speaks.

“Say, what is there to say you simple fuck!”

“Choose choice words carefully before I remove eyes from fucking head!”

“Both of you still yourselves we must not fight as there are more pressing matters to attend to like providing Jennicus reason of Nemesis death!”
