Welcome back everyone; this next chapter will feature several new captures and some more plot development, so that's something to look forward to.

Having spent an additional hour in the library, Natasha was dismayed upon discovering no other information about the Delta Call despite putting in an immense amount of effort searching for it. Then again, it's not like she was that motivated to look for it in the first place; she was still shaken up from that argument between Nora and Damian, creating a permanent rift in their friendship. And while she could understand Nora's fears, she felt that she went too far when it came to bringing up his stepmother. Either way, the only thing she could do now was join Damian in Sonata City and earn her next gym badge. Making her way to the front entrance, she was a little surprised to see the three Pokémon she had befriended, waiting patiently at the entrance.
"Emolga!" The Delta Emolga chirped, making its way to her with the Delta Drifblim and Delta Roserade following behind.
"H-Hey there, is something the matter?" The purple-haired girl inquired, the three Pokémon letting out a series of quick chirps as she soon figured out what they wanted. "Ah, I see. You wish to come along with me? In that case, you're more than welcome to join the party!"
The three Pokémon let out chirps of joy upon hearing the news, with Natasha shooting a smile at them as she got out three empty Pokéballs and recalled them into the devices. Pocketing her newest companions, she quickly looked around to see if she had any more business to attend to before quietly making her way outside the library and towards the newest route.
Route 8 was just like your average route one would come across in their journey; it was fairly short and was brimming with lush vegetation and the like. A few small lakes ran through the area, providing the local wildlife a safe place to drink. However, there was a very special reason for Natasha to explore this otherwise unremarkable route; that being the Delta Munchlax that was kept hidden from the Perfection cult. Making her way through the knee-high grass that populated the area, the purple-haired girl soon found a small grotto tucked away in the trees, making her way through them and into the depths. Upon stepping inside, she saw what she came here to find; sitting idly in the center was the Munchlax, it's body covered in a thick grassy fur. Additionally, it had what looked like a pair of small shrubs growing from the back of its shoulders. The Munchlax let out a quiet yawn, stretching its arms as it gazed calmly at the girl before it.
"I-I come in peace." Natasha stated, taking out a large and shiny apple from her bag and placed it on the ground before the Knoll Pokémon, quietly stepping back as it sniffed the luscious fruit before it. Picking it up with its hands, the Munchlax began to chow down on the apple at an incredible pace leaving not a single trace behind. Wiping its mouth, it gazed endearingly at the teenage girl, grateful to her for giving it something to eat. "No worries; if you want more food like that, you're more than welcome to come along with me."
"Munch!" The Munchlax chirped happily, more than willing to join her on her adventures as the duo soon made their way out the grotto and towards their next destination.
Miara Town
Upon arriving to the tranquil seaside town, Natasha took in a deep breath of the sea air and let it out slowly, a relaxing sensation coursing through her body as she relished in the soothing atmosphere of the small town. However, her sense of relief was abruptly halted by what sounded like someone talking to herself. Looking to the side, she saw what looked like a middle-aged woman with bluish-white hair, her outfit consisting of what looked like a vivid blue scuba suit with markings resembling those found on Kyogre's body.
"Ah, Miara Town. My favorite place in Torren. What a lovely, lovely town. It's peaceful, serene and built over the shining sea. And of course, the Whirl Islands now rest just a route away. It's a shame, really; when I flood the region, I'll save this town for last. At last, the sea is awakening once more. It's time to bring the King his crown." The woman mused to herself, ending with a chuckle as she made her way through the town.
"W-What the…" Natasha mused to herself, a worried expression on her face. Was this woman really crazy enough to flood the entire region for the sake of power? If so, then she was no ordinary cultist; she would have to be some sort of cult leader, but for which cult? Judging from her outfit and modus operandi, it was highly likely that she was the head of the Abyssal Cult, so did that mean that their base was nearby, on this Whirl Islands she mentioned? Either way, the purple-haired girl opted to go about her normal business before dealing with this cult leader; After all, a lack of proper preparation could lead to her early demise. She was about to make her way to the Pokémon Center when she was soon accosted by a rather burly sailor, sporting a worried expression on his face.
"Excuse me ma'am, but are you a strong trainer? I need some help with a…pressing issue." He inquired.
"As a matter of fact, I am! What's the problem, sir?" She smiled at him.
"Oh thank goodness! A-Anyway, I'm the one in charge of the Trade Outpost south of here; burglars have taken over the place and are using it as a base of operations. If you could drive them out, then I will be eternally grateful." The sailor explained his problem to her.
"Sounds easy enough! I'll deal with those dastardly thieves in a jiffy; just lead me there and I'll get the job done!" Natasha pledged, the sailor letting out a sigh of relief as he gestured the teenage girl to follow him to his boat. From there, it was a five-minute trip to a small island, the main attraction being a vast, three-story building in the center that had several men patrolling the nearby area.
"Here's the plan; you go in and deal with their leader. That should scare the lackeys away from this place. I'll stay here and keep the boat from the crooks." The sailor told her, with the purple-haired girl nodding in confirmation as she hopped off the boat and quietly crept up towards the building. She hid herself in the bushes, waiting for the patrolling thieves to leave the area before quickly making her way inside the building. From there, she continued her way through the main lobby and into the hall at the back, but was suddenly ambushed by a group of thieves.
"Heheheh, looks like we got ourselves a rat…hand us all your Pokémon and we might let you leave this place!" A burglar sneered at her, only for Natasha to shoot him an unamused look at him.
I'd rather do business with your leader, thank you very much. I'm sure we'll be able to come to an agreement over this." She replied, only for the crooks to continue laughing at her.
"What a riot! The boss will have a field day with her!" A second burglar chuckled to his comrade. "Very well, we'll grant you your request. But don't come crying to us when he and his first-mate mop the floor with you!"
Grabbing her firmly by her shoulder, the first burglar escorted Natasha to the bosses' room, his comrades following him as they were eagerly awaiting a beatdown on this upstart who invaded their new headquarters. A few minutes later, the group arrived at where their boss was located, only for Natasha to raise an eyebrow in curiosity at the sight before her. The so-called boss of these thieves was nothing more than a Haxorus, though it looked a lot different than a usual Haxorus. It's body was a mixture of grey and white, with some black stripes on the grey portions of its body. It's tail resembled that of a shark, with a pair of fins on the back of its arms as well. On its head was a large dorsal fin, with a metal chain embedded in it; the tusks in its mouth resembling the barbed flukes of an anchor.
It's first-mate, a Weezing, was also a lot different than it's usual appearance; it's body an electric yellow that had a few grey clouds surrounding its body. The most notable feature was that its second face was replaced by what looked like a large fan, capable of generating electricity. It was evident that both these Pokémon were Delta Species, which should make negotiations easier than expected.
"So, you're the fabled captain of this rag-tag group of thieves? I was hoping I could negotiate with you over the terms of my release." Natasha began calmly, catching the Haxorus off-guard with how composed she was. Usually, trainers would grovel and plead before its feet for mercy, but this one wasn't fazed at all by its intimidating appearance. Intrigued by her courage, the Anchor Shark Pokémon began conversing with her via a series of chirps and growls, the purple-haired woman listening to its words as a look of understanding appeared on her face.
"Is that so…? Then shall it be me or you who tells your followers?" She stated, with Haxorus giving her the all clear to speak its words. "Your leader wants you lot to disband and give up the lifestyle of a thief."
"W-What?! Why would out boss want that?! You're lying to us; I just know it!" The first burglar shot back, only for the Haxorus to roar back at the criminal. "A-Ah…I-I see. I-In that case, w-we'll do as you're told and l-leave this place…" He replied meekly, quickly fleeing the area with the other thieves running after him.
"Thanks for dealing with them." The purple-haired girl thanked the Haxorus, bowing politely before it. "Now then, what do you two plan on doing? If you don't have any idea, you could come along with me."
The Haxorus and the Weezing looked at each other briefly, quietly chirping to each other as to whether they should accept her offer or not. Around a minute later, the two Pokémon came to a decision, opting to pledge their loyalty to Natasha. "Excellent! Now come along then, we've got some business to do." She called out to them, the trio making their way out the vast building."
0000
"So it was a Pokémon leading them all along?" The sailor inquired, the duo arriving back at Miara Town following the news of her victory over the bandits.
"Yep, it was. Don't worry about the lackeys though; they won't be bothering anyone ever again!" Natasha told him, a smile on her face.
"In that case, let me reward you. I have here a pass that enables you free entry to the museum in town. I got it as a gift, but I don't have the time to use it before it expires, so I figured I'd give it to you." The burly man handed her a small, golden pass, with the words 'free entry' on the front.
"Thank you. I might go check it out now!" She thanked him, the duo waving each other goodbye as they went their separate ways. Arriving at the museum, Natasha stepped inside and handed the pass to the receptionist, the young woman accepting it and allowed her access to the museum. From there, the purple-haired girl spent half an hour gazing at the various exhibits, which mostly consisted of Pokémon fossils, journal entries from sailors of old and various treasures that were found under the sea. However, the main exhibit was the fabled Blue Orb; a powerful artifact associated with the legendary Pokémon Kyogre. She stepped closer to take a look but was halted in place by the nearby guard.
"I'm sorry, but if you want a closer look at the Blue Orb, I'll need to accompany you. It's a most valuable treasure after all." The guard stated, with Natasha agreeing to his terms as the duo approached the exhibit case together. "This orb has quite the history; it powered Kyogre back in the days of Earths' beginning, and the Aqua-Hoenn conflict fifty years ago. Back then, it was used by Archie to revert Kyogre back to its Primal Form. This orb was most generously donated to us by an anoy—"
"Oh, no way." A familiar voice called out, the duo turning to see a middle-aged woman approaching the exhibit. Natasha's eyes widened at the sight; this was the same woman who threatened to flood the entire region under water.
"Ah, hello miss. I was just in a speech about the Blue Orb; perhaps you—" The guard began.
"Forgive me for the interruption, but I'm here for the relic." She interrupted him, a serious look etched on her face. "I'm sure you're familiar with the Abyssal Cult, no? I'll cut to the chase; I'm Audrey, leader of the Abyssal Cult. I've been known to murder those in my way; let's make this easier for the both of us, alright?"
"E-Eeep!" The guard shrieked in fear, stepping away from the exhibit as Audrey began to inspect the case for an opening. "W-What do you want to do with it?"
"Well, you tell me. What could the leader of the Abyssal Cult want with Lugia's artifact?" She replied calmly, making her way to the left side of the exhibit case.
"L-Lugia? Ma'am, the Blue Orb is Kyogre's relic, not Lugia's." He corrected her, however she wasn't fazed by it at all. Just a few moments later, she pressed down on a hidden switch on the side, a satisfied smirk on her face as she took the Tidal Bell from the secret compartment.
"A secret compartment? How clever…but not clever enough." Audrey commented, turning to face the guard. "You thought you could keep the Tidal Bell hidden by placing it underneath the case containing some cheap plastic ball?"
"B-But that's the Blue Orb!" The guard shot back.
"No, it isn't. it's just a piece of plastic that looks like the Blue Orb. How do I know this? I was the one who donated it. As for how I knew the bell was there; it's logical that the best place to hide something is in plain sight. Nobody would think to look for the bell next to a fake orb." The older woman commented. "As the leader of the Abyssal Cult, everyone assumes I'm after Kyogre. Nobody would want me obtaining the Blue Orb, in the fear that I'll succeed where Archie failed. Having a copy in the museum that's guarded 24/7…well what better way to make everyone think I don't already have it?"
"Y-You're a genius…a diabolical genius…" Natasha muttered, taken aback by how intelligent the woman before her way. She wasn't some pompous git like Jaern, an arrogant brute like Taen or some bloodthirsty rogue like Persephone; she was a cold, calculated murder who was five steps ahead of everyone else.
"Never expected to here a compliment from you, Natasha. So you're the one that Mew chose? If you want to stop me that badly, then bring it on. I shall be awaiting you in the depths of the Whirl Islands, to the south of this lovely town. Don't keep me waiting…" Audrey smirked confidently at the purple-haired girl, the older woman quietly making her way out the museum as Natasha began thinking to herself. If she wanted to stand a chance of defeating this mastermind, she would need to spend the next hour or so preparing her team.
90 minutes later
Having finished making her preparations for her battle against Audrey, the purple-haired girl hopped onto her inflatable Lapras and began the slow journey to the Whirl Islands. She knew that this would be one of her most dangerous battles yet, given the magnitude of the opponent she was facing, so she opted to give it her all for this battle. Natasha braved the everlasting storms of the route before her, clinging firmly to the inflatable Lapras so that she didn't fall off. However, she was able to endure them and make her way to the Whirl Islands, arriving on land and scouted the area.
"Hmmm…I don't see any Abyssal Cultists here, they must all be inside…" She mused to herself, slowly approaching the cave but was soon halted in her place by a mysterious chittering. Turning to the side, she saw what looked like a blue Dunsparce with black stripes running across its body, its four legs resembling that of a water strider. Its two mandibles were tapping on a pair of oysters lightly, determining whether or not it was safe to consume. However, the oysters would soon open up, giving the Dunsparce the surprise of a lifetime as it found out that the oysters were a pair of Clamperl. The Clamperl had a more draconic look to them; with fanglike growths keeping the lustrous orange gem in place.
"H-Hey, what's going on here?" Natasha inquired, catching the trio off-guard as they were unsure on how to respond. "Look, it's bucketing with rain out here. Why don't we talk about it inside?"
A little intrigued over her prospect, the three Pokémon followed the purple-haired girl inside the cave, taking refuge from the relentless storm. Once they knew they were safe, the three Delta Pokémon began to explain their side of the story to Natasha, who listened with an interested look on her face. "Ah, I see. You two were washed up onshore as a result of the storm, leading Dunsparce to assume that you were safe to eat. Am I on the right track?"
"Dun~" The Dunsparce chittered, an idea soon forming in the girl's mind.
"Why don't you three tag along with me for now? I have some business to conduct down here and I'm not so sure it's safe for you three to be out here in the open." The purple-haired girl proposed, the three Pokémon briefly glancing at each other before accepting her proposal. Smiling at them, she recalled both Clamperl to their balls before gesturing Dunsparce to hop onto her shoulder. Now that she was ready to begin exploring, Natasha proceeded to make her way through the vast system of caves, only to soon come across another one of those mysterious spires. "Huh…it's been a while since I've seen one of these things before. Ah well, let's give it a try!"
Spending the next ten minutes solving the puzzle before her, the purple-haired girl smiled as the last piece clicked into place, revealing the alcove with the mysterious scroll and took it for herself. With four of the scrolls obtained, she felt that she was at the halfway mark, though how she knew that was a complete mystery. Getting back to the matter at hand, Natasha made her way deeper into the cave, a little curious as to the surprising lack of cultists in her way; perhaps they obeyed Audrey's request at a battle against her and opted to stand down. Eventually, she made her way to the depths of the cave, where she saw a massive waterfall crashing down into the pond before it, the streams connected to it flowing from the ocean and back into it. Standing atop what looked like some sort of ancient altar was Audrey, the older woman turning to see Natasha slowly approaching her.
"I figured you'd show up eventually; you're brave, I'll give you that much." She commented, noticing the Delta Dunsparce on the teenage girl's shoulder. "And I see a Delta Species on your shoulder; you really are the special snowflake hero the other cults talk about."
"O-Other cults? You mean you talk to the other leaders in secret?" Natasha inquired.
"Not quite; I have a few spies within the other cults who gather intelligence for me. I never would've expected the Augur and the leader of the Sky Cult to be one and the same. Still, Jaern's always been an incompetent pest and I doubt owning Rayquaza will turn the tides for him." The older woman stated, turning to face the massive waterfall. "The Whirl Islands are home to one of the oldest living creatures; Lugia, guardian of the seas and the legendary Stormslinger."
"Stormslinger?" The purple-haired girl asked, a look of confusion on her face.
"It's a very, very ancient term that the people of old used to call it; very few people alive today even know of its existence." Audrey answered, momentarily gazing at the Tidal Bell in her hand. "Long ago, the Whirl Islands used to rest within the Johto region, but now they've returned to their proper place. I assume you have an idea why it's here instead of there…?"
"C-Could it have to do with the Tidal Bell and how it's in Torren instead of Johto?" Natasha assumed, with the older woman applauding her slowly.
"Very good, my little snowflake. As you've deduced, the domain of a legendary Pokémon isn't an ordinary place; it's connected to that Pokémon's specific artifact. It's why the Hall of Origin only appeared to Dawn when she brandished the Azure Flute at the Spear Pillar in Sinnoh. And since I have custody of this bell, Lugia will obey my commands." She explained, turning to face the waterfall with the bell in her outstretched arm. "Emerge, Lugia! You will aid me in my conquest of the world!"
Ringing the bell slowly, Natasha stepped back as a set of four ethereal dancers walked around the altar, doing a quick twirl every time they arrived at a corner. The eerie dance lasted for around a minute before the ghosts promptly disappeared, the deafening cry of an almighty being coming from the large waterfall as an unspeakably large Pokémon emerged from it. This was it; the legendary guardian of the seas, Lugia, and it was slowly making its way to Audrey. "U-Unbelievable…" The purple-haired girl commented in awe, unaware of the ominous chuckling coming from behind her.
"It may be at first, but the eyes do not deceive this time." Audrey stated, with Lugia gazing at her as if they were lifelong companions. "Behold, the almighty Stormslinger. With is strength and my leadership, this world will be ours. I'll create a far better utopia than whatever dictatorship Jaern wishes to concoct. The two of us have great plans, plans that require our combined teamwork to pull off."
"W-Well…it's good to see that you two are getting along nicely. I-I'll just leave you two be—H-Huh?!" Natasha began, stepping back in fear only to turn around and see half a dozen Abyssal Cultists blocking the way out. "W-Where'd you lot come from?!"
"And thus, the trapdoor closes…" The white-haired woman mused, a satisfied smirk on her face. "Even if you win this battle, I won't release Lugia; after all, the two of us came to an agreement. But if you lose, I'll take you back to my base as my personal prisoner; I'm sure the two of us can come to an agreement regarding your services to me. Don't you get it? I've outsmarted you; no matter what way you look at it, I come out on top."
"D-Damn it…I thought you were diabolical, but now I know you're downright magnificent. How you haven't taken over the region yet is beyond me." The purple-haired girl stated, mentally kicking herself for allowing herself to end up in this position.
"As the old saying goes; slow and steady wins the race. Rather than make my presence know immediately, I waited in the shadows, quietly working out the best way to go about my plans. My leadership was how the Abyssal Cult was able to survive the war against the First Augur, and it will be what ensures our final victory." Audrey stated, shooting a confident look at Natasha. "I'll allow you some time to make final preparations; the Stormslinger deserves a proper challenge after all."
"I was born ready! You can throw as many Pokémon as you want at me; I won't give in until the bitter end!" The teenage girl shot back, taking out a Pokéball and sent out her Weezing.
"Brave…brave but stupid." The older woman commented, taking out a Pokéball and sent out her Ludicolo, the Carefree Pokémon dancing happily on the spot as Natasha gazed at it calmly. Perhaps she's saving Lugia for an emergency, for when the tides are against her. Still, she knew she couldn't hold back for even a moment, lest she get swept aside like a paper bag in the air.
Opting to boost it's power to the max, the Weezing used the clouds around its body to drum on its torso, bolstering its attack to the highest it can go at the cost of its health, only to consume the Sitrus berry it was holding for this occasion. In retaliation, the Ludicolo conjured up a deep blue ball of energy and flung it in the air, watching as it soon exploded and created a heavy rainstorm. The newly created rainstorm gave the Carefree Pokémon a boost in speed, allowing it to bob and weave through the various rock formations on the ground. However, the Weezing wasn't ready to throw in the towel just yet, its body spinning rapidly as it flew through the air like an acrobat, striking the Ludicolo head on and sent it flying towards a nearby stalagmite, causing the grunts to gasp in awe as to how this child could knock out one of their leader's Pokémon with ease.
"Not bad, not bad at all…I figured you'd make use of your Pokemon's power. However, you're only delaying the inevitable." Audrey stated, recalling her Ludicolo and opted to send out her Kingdra, the regal seahorse huffing at the Thunder Clap Pokémon.
With the rain giving it a boost in speed like it's companion, the Kingdra swam towards the Weezing, firing a beam of icy cold energy from its mouth that struck the Delta Pokémon head on, causing it to fly back a few feet. Shaking off the small particles of ice on its body, the Weezing began generating electricity by spinning its fan rapidly, conjuring up a powerful bolt of lightning that struck the Kingdra head on, paralyzing it in place. Seizing this opportunity to deal the finishing blow, the Thunder Clap Pokémon began spinning towards the Dragon Pokémon, only for the latter to retaliate with a powerful blast of water that knocked the Weezing out of the air and onto the ground before it. As the sea dragon slowly made its way to its injured foe, ready to deal the finishing blow, it soon saw a glowing white light emanate from the Thunder Clap Pokémon, its eyes widening in surprise as a wicked explosion soon rocked the entire cave, causing everyone present to shield their faces. When the dust died down, they saw that both Pokémon were knocked out as a result of the explosion.
"You did well out there Weezing, now it's time for a nice rest…" Natasha smiled at her companion, recalling it to its ball as she saw her opponent recall her Kingdra. "But now it's time for its friend to enact revenge on you; Haxorus, I choose you!"
Sending out her next Pokémon, the Haxorus emerged from its ball, letting out an almighty roar as an impressed look formed on Audrey's face. "What a lovely specimen; it'll make for a nice reward once I defeat you. A creature as fine as this deserves a worthy opponent like my Crawdaunt." She commented, taking out a Pokéball and sent out her Crawdaunt, before taking out her Mega Ring and pressed down on it.
The Crawdaunt was enveloped in a wondrous orb of light, breaking free from it a few moments later as it took on a new form. Its durable shell was now even harder than before, with a few spines now stemming from the lobster's shoulders. It's pincers were bigger and sharper than before, with the star atop its head a lot more pointier than before. The Crawdaunt let out an ominous gurgle, more than ready to crush its foe within its large pincers.
Cloaking its body in water, the Rogue Pokémon lunged at the Haxorus, striking it head on and caused the Anchor Shark Pokémon to stagger back a couple feet. However, it was more than capable of withstanding the attack, raising its arm in the air and smacked the Crawdaunt upside its head, the crustacean tumbling on the ground momentarily before picking itself back up. From there, the Crawdaunt's pincers began shining in the dimly lit room, the Rogue Pokémon sharpening them up for a decisive blow. It then opted to scuttle towards the Haxorus at impressive speeds, only for the latter to trip it over with a sweeping kick. The Anchor Shark Pokémon then picked up the Mega Pokémon, twirling it in the air at amazing speeds before leaping in the air and flung it towards the ground, kicking up a sizable cloud of dust as the Crawdaunt devolved into its regular form, unable to continue battling.
"…" Audrey chose to remain quiet, recalling her fainted Pokémon as she chose to go all out. Gesturing at her Lugia to defeat the insolent trainer before her, the guardian of the seas gazing at the powerful Haxorus before it. Flapping its wings quickly, the Lugia conjured up a powerful vortex of air and shot it at the Anchor Shark Pokemon, who struggled to keep its footing as it was soon flung backwards several feet, crash landing near the Abyssal grunts who wisely backed away from the area a bit. Slowly managing to get up, the Haxorus bellowed at the Lugia, cloaking its body in water before lunging at its foe, striking it head on and clamped onto its neck with its sharp fangs, the guardian of the seas bellowing in pain as the bipedal shark sank its teeth into the former's soft flesh. The Luiga was able to knock the shark away with a smack from its powerful wings, shooting a glare at it as it charged up a ball of psychic energy and fired it in a beam at the Haxorus. The beam struck the shark head on, causing it to stagger momentarily, but was able to shake the dizziness away. Glaring back at the Luiga, the Haxorus' body began to glow a harsh orange as it began to assault the guardian of the seas with a barrage of powerful tackles, kicks and punches, knocking the Lugia back several feet as it landed behind Audrey, a look of surprise etched on her face.
"Well then, I must say that you're rather impressive. Defeating both Lugia and my Crawdaunt takes some serious skill. As I said before, I won't release Lugia upon my defeat, but I will let you live for now…" She admitted, recalling the Lugia to the Master Ball she had on her.
"T-Thanks, I guess…?" Natasha replied, a little surprised that she was able to defeat such a powerful opponent.
"I'd suggest that you stay out of out way from now on, but a part of me is looking forward to a rematch when I'm at my full strength. When that day comes, I will defeat you and see my dream reach fruition. Until then, my little snowflake…" Audrey said calmly, gesturing her sub-ordinates to fall back as the Abyssal Cult proceeded to vacate the area. Watching her enemy leave, the purple-haired girl let out a sigh of relief, congratulating her Haxorus for putting in some amazing effort before recalling it to its ball. If she wanted a remote chance of defeating Audrey at her best, then she needed to get stronger, and the Sonata City Gym sounds like the ideal place to do so. Gesturing at the Dunsparce to hop onto her shoulder, the duo proceeded to make their way back to Miara Town, in the hopes of a nice, warm place to rest their weary bodies.
So sorry for the late update everyone, but I was busy getting my latest story ready for its debut. When it comes to Audrey, she's one of my favorite villains in the game due to how incredibly competent she is when compared to some of the other villains *cough* Taen *cough*. I don't have a doubt in my mind that were it not for the player's intervention, she would've easily won the cult war, at least until you know who plays their trump card. Thank you all for reading and supporting my story, I'll see you in the next chapter.
