Aret his behind Isla for a moment. She had a small but evident trust in Isla's ability to protect her. When she saw it was just Kendo, she smiled lightly and extended her arms towards him. "Kendo..! I'll have to leave and go with Isla to her kingdom soon... Will you be okay?"

"I'll be fine~ I may not look like it, but I'm pretty sturdy, you know?"

Kendo walked over to her and put a hand on her head, smiling cheerfully. He completely ignored Isla.

Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

You decide.

Aret's smile grew, nudging her head further into his touch, taking his other hand and brushing kisses over his knuckles. "You're strong, yeah..."

"Exaaactlyy~!"

He really was completely ignoring Isla, wasn't he?

Isla Greer

Isla tipped her head to the side. So they are lovers, she thought, eyeing them. She'd thought it was an exaggeration on Legion's part- done to drive up the importance of his pet prisoner and make himself seem all the more powerful.

Seeing them like this though... it felt a little annoying, and she wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was how quickly she'd grown to trust an outsider over a Macedonian.

Although...It's not like we've been the paragon of loyalty lately.

She sighed, deeply through her nose. "Is he coming with us, Saint?"

"Whatchu lookin' at, brat? What, jealous or somethin'? I don't blame you, honestly~"

Kendo glanced over at Isla, grinning cheerfully.

"No, he can't. Legion didn't give permission for him, and both of our magical powers are on lock right now. It's only me that'll be coming with you." She loved the affection, and eventually pulled him closer to her. It was hard to find, especially in these times, so any sign of love was taken easily by her. "I'll miss you..."

Isla Greer

Isla's mouth opened slightly, an "o" of understanding. "So you really are his prisoner..." she mused. The two of them were so close- it sent an odd pang through her heart. "I was wondering just how much of that was fabrication."

How permanent is his spell? she wondered. It surely can't be on the Saint- considering his plan. But what has he done to this man...?

No, that was the wrong way to think about it. It was the same for both of them.

For a reason- somehow, this obnoxious fool is a precious piece for Legion- one he keeps under closer watch than his weapon of mass destruction. Is such a thing possible? Someone more powerful than the Saint?

This building was dangerous. Everyone in it would play a role in a future she had yet to forsee. Blood hovered on the horizen- And just who's it would be, would be determined by the two sitting in front of her.

The very thought made her skin crawl. She hadn't felt so powerless since she was a little girl, cowering from her father's blows. You had no idea who held the power anymore- only the certainty that whoever did was your enemy.

Aret then turned to look at Isla with a soft smile, standing up shakily and taking her hand. "Let's go soon... Before he gets angry. I don't want to take any more beatings today, especially after you've dressed my wounds so nicely."

Isla Greer

Isla accepted her hand, choosing to shut down her mind for a moment. Panic wouldn't help anyone. "Of course. I'll order my soldiers to prepare transportation at once."

Her hand twitched by her sword- everything had just been politics, politics, politics. She itched for some action.

"I hope to see you again soon, when we can continue our conversation." She gave Kendo a mocking smile. "I'd look forward to it, if I were you."

"hah. How arrogant of you, for a mere human."

His own smile was cocky. how annoying.

"Indeed, let's continue our conversation in the future.

Aret simply smiled unknowingly, following close to Isla like a lost puppy. She kept her head turned down, protectively guarding her body from any peeking guards- she always wore sheer white clothes, and now, with all of the eyes on her, it was hard being comfortable in her own body.

Isla Greer

Isla matched his smirk with her own. "Didn't I already tell you I'd soon be elevated to a god? You seem to have a pretty weak memory. For her sake, I certainly hope that's all the smallness you're compensating for."

She scoffed, turning to smile at the Saint. "Well, my dear? I think we can discuss something with the soldiers outside- right now, if that's alright."

Aret's cheeks flared up at the pet name, nodding her head quietly and hiding her face by turning away and covering it with her wing. "Of course."

Isla Greer

She gave Kendo a mocking little bow. "If you'll excuse us, little man-" she shot him a smile as they left. As soon as the doors shut, she straightened her posture and addressed the men standing guard outside her door.

"Prepare transport immediately. Use the utmost discretion."

The Saint Deity stayed quiet, using her wings to protect her from the chill of the night. It was cloudy, though that was based on normal weather and not her emotions. Her red face calmed down, and she stared at the ground, lost in thought.

Isla Greer

Isla marched, cavalry by her side, careful to keep her eyes peeled against the twilight- this was a perfect time for an ambush- late at night, when the Saint's defenses had shrunken to a single Snavian squadron.

And here I am, defending the very fools who have taken my Angel, and crucified her a sacrifice, right out in the open, she thought bitterly.

But deep down, she knew it was the right call. This was obviously a test- one she was determined to pass. The rebels couldn't win. Legion had beaten Macedon at full strength. A bunch of ragged misfits could do nothing against his overwhelming power.

That was why he'd entrusted such an "important" task to her- because it wasn't. Nothing about it made sense, because he undoubtedly had a backup. Some spy trailing them, keeping them in line.

She bit her lip, fighting the urge to sweep her magic around for the tenth time since they left. It was unlikely she'd catch them this time, anyway- so she would just look around and settle down, as if she trusted her guards-

The Saint appeared to be thinking.

Oh... perhaps...

She sidled up to her. "Do you know who's following us?" she whispered.

"I'm not sure... It feels familiar... But I can't place a name to it. We're definitely being watched, I'll give you that." She frowned and kept her voice low, hands slightly shaking, whether from fear or the cold. "It's awfully dark in the garden... It would usually reject normal humans... Perhaps Legion cancelled the barrier."

Isla Greer

She tried to mask her interest, but her curiosity got the better of her. "Normal humans..? Define 'normal'."

"Ah, how do I explain this...?" She collected her thoughts. "Most people aren't able to get past the garden. It's so sacred and holy that it would burn away their flesh. But, if you were more powerful, per say, then there may be a chance that you'll be accepted into the garden."
