A/N - Hmmm ... I don't seem to mention Kayle often enough. *checks notes* Well, she starts to frequent the story more in chapters to come....
Log 30: A Change In Plans
Kayle awoke again, finding herself sitting in the throne in Thornwood Castle. Grimm was sleeping by her feet; the blade Kuroiandagia, dripping with ivory blood, was still in Kayle's hands.
She had remembered, druggedly, of going into the castle's torture chamber, finding the angelic Regent named Brenterdra chained to a wall. No ... former Regent - she had been Banished by the Regency for reasons Kayle did not know. She hadn't bothered to ask.
But the angel was so beautiful, almost a mirror-image of what Kayle used to be, at a younger age. She couldn't drive the sword through her breast, couldn't even touch her....
Memory was blurred from there, but the blood on the blade was proof that the Regent was dead.
Kayle ... my Huntress....
"What...?" Kayle yawned, covering her mouth. Why did the god-angel have to speak to her now?
There is a change in the plan. You can not kill the Regency like this.
"Why?"
My brother seeks that which will make him whole again.
"Nothing can make him whole again - all legends say that! Even a god-angel like you should know!"
Not all the legends are true, Huntress. My brother has his means. Let him find this item - then find the Regency and my brother and continue as before. Only kill them when they all have been found.
The voice faded into the night, leaving Kayle relieved, to an extent. There would be no more death, at least. No more....
