Luz had a hard time breathing, while tears went down her cheeks. She looked up and saw Belos.
"Now, I don't want you to think this is personal." Belos said, "I mean, it is personal, but I just don't want you to think about it."
"W-w-why?" Luz asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"You don't know, do you?" Belos asked, "They tried leading a rebellion against me, you have been a pain in my side for months, and, as for your sister, well... she's guilty by association. You each are being punished."
"If you even think about laying a hand on Skara, I'll kill you!" Luz said.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her, physically. She'll be punished in a different way." Belos said, holding a knife, "She'll be hurt emotionally."
Eda and Skara didn't have the time, nor patience, to deal with him.
"Out of the way, Golden Brat." Eda said.
"No, I can't let you pass." He said.
"You will, because I won't hesitate to rip you limb from limb." Eda said.
"I'd like to see you try, Owl Lady." He said.
Eda clenched her staff and charged at him. Eda swung her staff at him, but he dodged and retaliated by blasting her with his mechanical staff. Eda was knocked to the ground, which allowed Skara room to tackle him. Skara hit him. She threw several punches, soon his mask started to crack. He grabbed Skara's next strike and retaliated with a punch of his own. Skara was knocked off him, but when he got up, Eda was also up, and in Harpy form. Eda grabbed Hunter and hit him in the stomach.
"Listen here, jackass, I don't have any time for this." Eda said, "So you could either move the fuck out of the way, or I'm going to kill you."
"You don't scare me, Owl Lady." Hunter said, "I do whatever the Emperor tells me, and right now, he doesn't want anyone interfering with his-"
He was cut off, when a stone hit him in the head. His mask broke and he was knocked out. Eda dropped him and they ran up the rest of the stairs. They found the door and ran towards it.
'Don't worry, Kid, we'll be there in a second.' Eda thought.
They ran into the room, fully expecting Belos to be inside, but he wasn't. What was in there, made Skara fall to her knees. She started crying, unable to stop at the sight before her. Eda kneeled down and held Skara, trying to hold tears in as well.
