In the morning, she felt a presence in her room. Brushing it off, she didn't open her eyes. "What is it, fraccion?" she questioned, not getting up. "I do not believe that I am one of your fraccion." hearing the voice, she popped up, covering herself with the sheets. "We have an Espada's meeting in ten minutes." her eyes widened, and she shot out of her bed. "You could have woke me up sooner, Ulquiorra!" she screeched, grabbing her uniform from her drawers. She ran into the washroom, changing, brushing her hair and teeth as quickly as she could. About three minutes later, they rushed to the meeting room. They were the first of the ten Espada to get there. Ulquiorra showed her were to sit, and sat down himself.
Others began to walk in, one by one. Starrk sat next to her, looking at her slightly, smiling lightly in encouragement. "Hey, where's Barragan?" One of them asked, yet no one answered. Aizen, Gin, and Tosen walked in then. They sat, only two smiling.
"Welcome to this meeting, my dear Espada. I have some very important news for you. But first- Let us have some tea." the tea was served, and Aizen began. "One day ago, the Segunda Espada was killed by the fifteenth arrancar, Delaiye Rio No Sara,"
"What?!"
"She is now our Primera Espada. Is that correct, Delaiye-san?"
"Hai, Aizen-sama!"
"Leave now, my Espada." They did, and Delaiye trudged back to her room alone, humming a song to her self. It sounded so unfamiliar, but she continued. The song finished, and she reached her room, sighing. She walked to her room and grabbed a knife. She grabbed her hair. Things were going to have to change if she was an Espada. She took it and put it right above where her fist was holding her hair, and sliced it off. Long strands of black fell to the cold alabaster floor, and she walked over it to the mirror. It was now jagged, un even, and shoulder length. She smiled. Things were going to change.

Delaiye wandered the hallways and explored. Hueco Mundo was huge. She became friend with the Octova, Tercera, and Segunda. She spoke to them often, and today she was heading for the Octova's lab. She knocked quietly on the door, and one of Szayel's creepy fraccion answered the door. Looking up at Delaiye, it's eyes widened. "Primera-sama!" It scuttled off and It brought Szayel back who had his eyes closed and was rubbing his temples. "You could have just brought her back to me, Lumina!" He opened his eyes and looked at Delaiye. "Welcome back, Delaiye-san,"
"Thanks, Szayel-san." He led her in as Lumina babbled on. About five minutes into the walk, Szayel had had enough. He slammed his fist down on Lumina's head and it yelped. Lumina rubbed it's head as Szayel and Delaiye walked off. "That was just a bit harsh, Szayel-san."
"I honestly don't care, She was annoying me." Delaiye sighed as they arrived at the lab. Szayel showed her to a station were there were four flasks filled with chemicals. "So, what are you working on, Szayel-san?"
"A combination of things currently, mostly memory restoration,"
"Memory restoration?"
"Yes! Wouldn't you love to remember your past life?"
"Not to upset you, Szayel-san, but I honestly don't want to remember what gave me this," She pulled up the sleeve of her arm to reveal a large scar along her forearm up to her collar bone. "Wow. I suppose I can understand that," They spoke a bit more and she left. She went through the hallways, searching. For what, she did not know.
Delaiye decided to go to the training grounds, and began to work on one of her powers. Only she had it, and not even Aizen new about it. It was called 'Olividarse de luz' the forgotten light. It was a small ball of her spiritual energy that floated above the palm of her hand and it could track people, be used as defence, and as and attacker.
She centered her spiritual energy into the center of her hand and watched as it floated up about six inches above her hand. Her spiritual energy was blue, so this ball shone with a blue black light. She sat down on the ground and wached the small ball of light spin. Today was going to be a long day.
