"Shhhh," Raven shushed her while taking her farther away from the training hall. "Why would you startle me like that!?"

*Sniff*

"I- I'm sorry," Liz sniffed. "I didn't mean to! I even called your names many times, you were just distracted… I thought that maybe you needed a nudge but- maybe I was wrong…"

*Sigh*

"It's ok, I'm sorry I should have kept focus on my surroundings," Raven sighed while hugging Liz who seemed as afraid as a puppy without its mother. "Why are you not training with them?"

"Oh, um… I can't…" Liz said while releasing Raven, and suddenly feeling cold. 

"I can't." She repeated. "To be honest with you, right now, I'm… *sigh* I'm still terrified of fighting… even though you have control over my powers and I'm basically powerless now, I can't bring myself to fight, or even practice fighting…

"I can't even hold a knife to cut my food because all I'd see would be dyed with blood… heck, I can't even taste food… I- wait! No, I was joking! I can taste food!" Liz realised that she had spilled out a secret that she had decided to keep for herself, amongst others.

"It's ok," Raven shook her head. "We know…"

"You do?" Liz was surprised, yet almost relieved. 

"Uhm," Raven nodded. "You know, you act so tough sometimes, but at the same time, you act like a little baby. 

"But the truth is… you're trying so hard to hide your true feelings… the fear, loneliness, isolation, and everything else… you know that you don't have to, right?" Raven asked Liz who looked serious for the first time ever.

"But… how am I supposed to share my burden with you or the rest when I was the reason you… the reason you lost-" Liz could not finish her sentence before succumbing to her weak heart and tearful eyes.

Seeing her cry for real was enough to hurt Raven, "hey, it's ok…" she said while hugging her shaking body.

"But I was-"

"Shush, it told you to stay quiet, right?" Raven asked while shushing her. "You can always cry on my shoulder, you've been through hell yourself. I know it wasn't directly you who did what has been done.

"But it's alright because I can fix it all… it's alright. Ok?" While Liz didn't understand that Raven had already found Maya, she understood she was honest with her feelings, thus, she didn't find it hard to cry on her shoulder until she was feeling better.

"Thank you, Rave," Liz said while trying to recompose herself. Hugging Raven even tighter, she felt that she couldn't let go of her. "Thank you, for everything, and for being my everything…" slowly letting go of her felt hard, yet she pressed on. 

"I'll leave you to whatever you were doing, hehe," Liz forced a chuckle. "I'll go watch their training. Who knows, maybe I'll learn something that way." She said while jogging away.

"Liz," Raven called. "Don't force yourself… and you know, you can call me whenever you need someone to cut your food, I'll help you."

Hearing that, Liz felt her heart ache for how good Raven was. "Thank you!" Was all she said, but the feelings in her heart were far stronger.

"Aye, no worries, I'll see you around!" Raven said with a smile before disappearing from her spot.

"Apologies, and thanks for waiting," Raven said to the four daemons. She had felt Maeve's presence earlier, but she had left the moment she realised that her mistress was in the midst of a personal conversation.

Seeing her stressed expression, Raven could not help but chuckle. "Alright, let's get going."

"Lady Raven," Maeve called while trying to hide her embarrassment and guilt for interrupting her mistress's conversation. "Is it possible to invite our subordinates as well?"

"Hm, for sure," Raven said, "during the scouting mission, it was clear that there were countless demonic beasts around Silver's nest, so they should be able to help."

[Notice.

[Would Pilot like to share Oasis with subordinates?]

'Eh?' Raven was surprised by the notification. 'What effect would that have on them?'

[Oasis will help Pilot's subordinates in gifting their own subordinates and evolving them. They will be treated as Pilot's subordinates as well.]

'Hm, sure do that then,' Raven said.

Watching as her daemon's received the notification from the system, she could see them smile happily.

[Successful!

[Updating followers for each subordinate…

[Would Pilot like to view the results?]

'Nope, let's just get going,' Raven said as she had just felt Abbadon engage in a serious combat. 'He is probably fighting against Silver… that idiot!'

Gritting her teeth, Raven made sure everyone was ready before teleporting them all near the castle. She had purposefully left an anchor so that was not a problem.

As soon as they arrived at the location, Raven instantly put up a barrier, as did everyone else. For some reason, the air seemed corrosive and radiating with anti life energy.

Raven could not help but widen her eyes at the sight in front of her. Everything had changed so drastically that she wasn't sure if she was in the same place she was in just a few minutes ago.

The forest was no more, the snow was no more, and most importantly, the castle was no more. 

Heck, even the sky seemed a dark red in this region, as if someone had called forth god's wrath. The dark mist that covered the area only strengthened that claim.

All Raven was able to see was Abbadon with his back towards her, facing four individuals that were wearing similar clothes and masks, resembling different types of terrifying looking clowns.

In Abbadon's hand, Raven could see what seemed to be a severed head that was still dripping blood.

Silver was being shielded by his subordinates as his left arm and shoulder were all missing.

'How long have they been fighting for?' Raven asked in her mind since she could swear they had only started just a few seconds ago. Yet the area all around them was telling a different story.

'No, you're right,' Kayla said. 'They have only started a few seconds ago, but Abbadon has gotten serious from the start… come to think of it, this is the first time we've ever seen him fighting seriously.'

Raven and the rest of her subordinates looked in awe at the scene and didn't know what to do, 'Would we not just be a hindrance?' 

… 

Abbadon who felt his mistress's presence felt his sadistic smile widen. "Oh, My Lady is here to witness your end, let's not make her wait for long, ok?" 

Crushing the severed masked head in his hand, blood splattered all around him, making Silver and his subordinates shiver in fear.
