“Of course, thanks Vee~” Kalina replied to Viokii. She'd lost a bet, so she'd honour the terms. No longer trying to get Viokii more involved than the construct wanted to be. She'd just head for the Crystallumea without bother Viokii further.

Iberis made her wonder for a moment. “Put it that way, dating Audlich sounds like a far weirder option than how fun dating you is going to be.” Kalina pondered aloud. “Although he was a good enough sort and you'd be worht it even if he wasn't.” She'd quickly reached the answer to a question never asked aloud.

The gift shop idea was a nice one. “We should.” She chuckled when Iberis mentioned 'cool things'. “That's my only worry. Cool things. I'm still not good with the cold. It should be worth it though.”

Kalina couldn't help overhear the mention of Renee. The name brought back enough horrible memories to go unnoticed. She also couldn't help herself from warning Scylla. “Just be careful. Don't forget that Renee became as she was due to looking for that power in all the wrong ways and manners. If the same were to happen to you, I'm not sure what I'd do or how I'd turn out myself.” The idea of needing to put down Scylla like she'd been forced to end Renee was more horrifying than anything else she could come up with. She'd probably just finish off herself after, if such a thing were ever to be needed.

Well... that was Kalina's mood dropped down to an all-time low. She figured she'd best step back. At least her plan was working. Katja seemed to do well trying to blend in with the others. Iberis and Scylla had been bonding. Viokii did... Viokii things. She really had to remind herself of what Viokii warned her about. The only way tog et the Coven to bond amongst one another is to not get involved too much herself. Otherwise it'd be too much reliant on her being a binding factor.

The downside is that, Kalina figured, it'd mean she'd have to play the loner type on this one. Then again, the animals they were going to see were cool. Very cool, Kalina realised, as they entered a building filled with ice magic. A large dome, in which the animals in question walked around on artificial snow and ice.

“I should've brought a winter cloak.” She shivered, although she did look at the animals in fascination. It seemed one of them was busy using some sort of ice magic to decorate its horns, forming intricate patterns and almost crystal-like shapes onto it. Kalina read one of the information displays.

“It says they can survive the coldest temperatures, despite being warm-blooded. Their coat has a magic to it that keeps them warm enough, yet their horns aren't covered by it, so they become natural catalysts for ice magic. It also says that... ” She wanted to read out more for the others that might not see it, when she heard some commotion.

Looking around, she could see why. The doors to the enclosure had been locked. Viokii might notice a few things that weren't the same as when she first got here. Then it started to get even more cold. Kalina was quick to draw her own conclusions. “Really... in a zoo...” She mumbled, as she could feel herself getting a bit slower from the cold. Now what to do, without causing a big commotion? She could probably break through the dome with ease, but she didn't really want to break this place down and risk harm to the animals. Although freezing here wasn't going to be fun either.

Hasufer's cult involvement; the group gets locked into the ice dome enclosure. Temperatures are dropping rapidly. Try to get out, preferably with as little of a commotion as possible.

"You've always been great in my mind Scylla." She'd reply warmly before giggling a bit at the hat being adjusted and the follow up comment, "And no matter how you were then or now, you'll always be Scylla to me, and that's a great thing in my book." She'd add positively. She listened to the discourse and hadn't been aware just how much baggage seemed to be held onto by those who had come.

She looked to Edith and titled her head a bit, before chuckling some. "I don't think Auldlich has a ton of priorities in romance right now, he seems more interested in continuing his studies of magic at the moment, but I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong." She'd add with a smile.

"Not great with the cold? I'm sorta used to it by now but at the same time I know I wouldn't do that great, given my stature without a reprieve or some kind of magic to help out." She'd confess, not feeling super confident about being able to be in prolonged extreme cold without some kind of assistance.

Iberis heard Edith's concern and nodded, feeling like she should probably speak up too.

"I'm going to be frank and say that I was headed down a path which was honestly kind of scary when I look back on it. Any enemies of Renee were mine immediately with little to no questions; if she said they needed to be erased then I was willing to do it if it meant furthering her goal and it meant we could get stronger, but now that I saw what happened first hand, I must agree with Edith, that, you really need to be careful how far you're willing to go Scylla, you don't want to lose yourself." Iberis spoke more seriously now.

The kiss between Katja and Scylla was a bit surprising, but a small pink tint reached Iberis' face as she just averted her gaze and kept moving after the fact, the serious look lingering.

Iberis looked around the interior of the frosty dome and was pretty elevated with excitement her eyes lighting up. "Woah this is really cool! Pun not intended! Look at that!" She'd point over to the animals.

She listened to what Kalina had to say about the facts about the animals then became a bit concerned at what happened next, also realizing that they had been locked in the dome.

"You think they did it even here? If I see them again they'll be in for a world of atonement.." Iberis stated looking very displeased. Getting Vandal titles really wasn't on the agenda that she wanted to go down. However it was at that moment that she began to scan the sign about the animals.

"Does it say anything else about them? Like do they react to magical energy being near the or anything like that?." She'd speak aloud, looking over the sign and surrounding environment with

Magic B + Magic Range E + Magic Area of Effect D + Academia B + Appraisal C
to see if there was anything useful she could garner to help out what her plans were.

"Without destroying the environment or harming the animals here, we might be able to trigger a magical abnormality in the habitat which will prompt zoo workers to come here to see what's wrong and let us out." She'd speak aloud at what her intention was.

RavenSong · Mar 22, 2025

Turning to Iberis she couldn't help but feel a bit low as she recollected how Renee did things with such an iron fist. Perhaps it was why she was so willing to follow her, Renee was a leader, a brutal one but one worth following nonetheless. Knowing Iberis was there during those days was a bit of a comforting presence, they'd been through so much and it was clear the young witch Iberis has grown up alot since then. "I.. I'll be everything Renee couldn't be.. I won't lose myself not when I have so much to lose." Her voice revealed a deep sense of confidence.

--

Scylla smiled at Katjas response. "Naturally.." she replied before letting her go, and listening to her justify why she wouldn't rather be a god. She could only assume the god she mentioned was some sort of all encompassing entity, having been a learned student she'd known about monotheistic beliefs. Perhaps they were all assumptions but for the sake of not delving into theologic opinions she kept that possibility a mystery. However what got her attention was surprising, "A.. happy life? Or power?" She repeated as she thought deeply about the question.

It was while she was in the deep thought that the half demon would feel Katjas cold lips pressed into hers. Scyllas eyes widened as she stood completely still. When the affectionate act was concluded Scylla began, "You.. kissed me? Full well knowing that we're in fact opposites?" Scyllas hand touched her own lips for a moment.

It was then that the time had come, and at a most annoying moment that the temperature around her began to rise, more so than usual. Using [Control Environment E] Scylla would regulate her temperature. She'd sigh. "I should just take the throne and have these annoying thralls do something more productive with their time." With a snap of her fingers Scylla would use her [Fire Affinity] [Wind Affinity] to maintain a strong flame within the sphere, and wind to disperse the heat.

" They say opposites attract" Katja said with a smile " But i don't believe we are as opposed as you say. in something we are different, but in you i still see a good person regardless of birth, loss, or power and that i can accept and hope you see as well " Katja explained it was likely nothing like how most religious people would see things. Katja was very different than those kinds she wanted to see what the person did, and what they cared for, not which god they worshiped or what kind of power they used. To katja even the devil of hell could return to being angels if they wished to and repented for what they had done wrong. None were beyond salvation and what was good was not a static thing, it had to take into account the whished behind the act. thinking like that Katja could not say she was sure she was a good person, she acted out of guilt out of a selfish desire, but perhaps that was fine.

Then the temperature suddenly dropped as the cult once more struck out at the coven. So much for viokii needing to stay on guard to stop something like this form happening as even with her on guard they had struck. Katja had no means of defense against the cold, and thus had to stick to Scylla who could conjure flames and wind to keep the area warmer than the deadly cold it was meant to be. while Katja wouldn't use the word thralls, she could agree that making the cultists do something, hopefully good works, was better than them constantly attacking.

Having followed along to the next creature habitat that the others held interest in visiting, it would appear that this had been the time that the cultists desired to strike. Some things around the place looked oddly different from when they had first arrived, but making sure that the currently trapped organic beings were able to be kept alive was what was currently top priority. Seeing as Kalina appeared to start being negatively affected by the cold. The construct didn't have sufficient enough data on the biology of dhampirs such as Kalina for how they biologically operated in this world, but she wasn't exactly looking to take chances that her different requirement for sourcing blood meant her body heat wasn't as proficient as others. Then again, it wasn't like anyone else was properly equipped with the layers to deal with such a cold. She had expected Scylla would be prepared considering they had went through a frozen hell already, the others not so much.

Putting an arm around Kalina, she'd pull them close and activate her own heating. As for getting out, alerting local staff without damaging anything would be most appreciated without causing trouble, if they could withhold succumbing to the temperatures then they'd have a chance.
"A valid idea. I would imagine the exhibit has regulation precautions in check we could locate, such as security cameras, temperature readers, or likely emergency escapes or methods of communication at times like this. Though, I question the circumstances of our scenario, it feels unlikely an open exhibit like this wouldn't have any other bystanders present or a staff member present. I am not certain that we are unafflicted by illusionary efforts" Viokii answered, looking around to find anything that might be of use to their escape or to alert local assistance. That, or to find obvious clue that they were currently being tricked.

Iberis' reply was forcing Kalina's thoughts to go to weird places. “I'm not even sure what to think would happen if he was really interested in romance right now. Would your 'leg' just end up dating someone on its own somehow?” She asked, as that would be wild, just not in the most fun ways, perhaps?

As for the cold she'd lean in to whisper to Iberis. “It's because I'm still part undead. The normally cold-blooded vampire half wouldn't feel the cold, but would get hindered. Yet the Human half does feel the cold, yet can't fully warm up the undead half, so to say. It's a bit of a tough spot.” It meant she was basically operating whilst permanently unable to get her own heating in check in colder weather.

Kalina was glad to hear Iberis back her up in the reply to Scylla. “Also, remember what Renee kept forgetting. You're not alone. Renee pushed us away more and more to get all that power to herself. We've got each-other to lean on as well. Together we're already way more powerful than she ever was on her own.” Hopefully that'd help keep Scylla from falling.

Upon Iberis' ask on the animals, Kalina would read through the sign some more. Iberis' appraisal would take note of some [Ice Crystal Units] of a magical nature that appeared to be [Overcharged] along the sides of the dome.

Kalina would call out. “Not that I can see. It seems they might get sick from sudden temperature increases too far above freezing.” She'd listen to Iberis, as she thought about it. “Perhaps... but this would feel a bit too petty for them. Just making us get cold? Trying to get us to freeze to death? What... what if they thought it through more and they're wanting to make us stand out so that they could try get us arrested?”

On the topic of temperature rises above freezing. “Hold up a bit, love.” She'd call out to Scylla. “If we start warming this place up too much, we might lure in security and we'll end up getting questioned and play into their hands.” She didn't like it, but still... “Perhaps the best way to counter them is to just hold on until staff figures out what's wrong and comes to fix things. We'll play the innocent victims instead of looking like we had it all under control a little too much.”

Feeling Viokii warm her up was a god-given. “Thanks Vee, you're a life-saver.” She gladly leaned into the construct's heating as she looked around. “If there's any alarms or something in here, they likely disrupted those as well. We'd have to figure out if we can still activate them.” She tried to come up with more clever ideas, but it wasn't exactly in her line of expertise.

Viokii's attempt at looking around with some investigation would mostly pay off due to her earlier preparations. Some of the small magic devices that had green glows to them now had red glows to them. Perhaps some mechanisms had been turned off? Or maybe even destroyed? Perhaps someone knowing enough magical crafting could fix them or turn them on again. In the meantime, they'd just have to weather the cold without risking to draw too much impact on the animals and environment.

Htyaerd smiled, the commotion heard outside the walls seemed to fade. Aside from a couple onlookers who took notice to the knight in the habitat. The guards and employees were busy elsewhere.

As Htyaerd approach, the turtles looked toward him flashing teeth and growling loudly. Up until he approached Bowser himself. Under his helmet, a grin placed his lips. Zaleem awakened, riding to full length. His feet sinking into the ground under his sheer weight. Underneath was where it layed, a large clutch of eggs.

“Sorry to wake you from your nap but I’m going to need one of those eggs.” Htyaerd smiled, spinning his spear. The turtle would chuff out sulfur in his direction, as though he understood before bearing its teeth. The other turtles would surround him, making an arena of sorts.

Accepting his challenge?

“Hoho, I like you guys!” Htyaerd grinned wide, closing the distance between himself and the reptile.[Fast F] Pulling his spear wide, the Dragon would respond kindly. Pulling its head into its shell before shooting out at the knight, snapping its jaws at the strike.

Htyaerd grips his spear tightly with both hands, cutting the air before colliding with the dragons strike. His strike offsetting the attack, boots dug into the dirt as he held his position.

He readied his next strike, Dominatus flared brightly as he channeled the hellfire through it. He swung once more, his sights sent on the turtles right front leg, with a clean slice. The leg buckled slightly, a roar of pain released from the creature. Invoking rage in its eyes, it opens its gaping jaw and curls its tongue to the wide. A light could be seen coming from its mouth.

It was good to find Kalina was positively receiving of her assistance when it came to heating, likely the vampire wouldn't be able to aid much in a situation like this without landing them into further trouble. A small nod, she held the dhampir close under her arm.
"It is alright, Edith. It would be most problematic if you were negatively inflicted by exposure to cold temperatures. You can utilise the warmth bi-product from my constructive composition when you are in requirement of it" the construct answered as she'd look around the area to try and devise an idea on what they could do to aid their escape.

The sighting of the magic devices was an interesting one, although there was the possibility that fixing them might mean staff won't have reason to come and inspect the enclosure. Or, it could be something to be used that would get attention. It was hard to decipher, yet considering it felt like the cultists had purposefully went out of their way to disable them, it was likely of use to them.

That, and a key clue.
"The lights might display reference to being deactivated, but the fact these devices have active lights in general imply that they are still receiving power. If they have been individually disabled either manually or remotely, there will be some sort of attached trigger that we can activate to reactivate these devices. It may better help us, User Iberis, Cutie Scylla, you both are knowledgeable about magic-related topics. Will you assist in identifying these devices and their internal functionality?" Viokii asked of the two, it should have been like the sigils in Oll's End albeit perhaps a bit more complex... or simple, she hadn't enough research on the logic of 'magic'.

For now, she kept warming Kalina and anyone else who would need or want the construct's warmth, and began her own investigations on the devices making careful sure not to do anything tampering or damaging with them.

“If you’re intent on going down a path seeking out more power then I’ll be there to help make sure you don’t go down that path then.” Iberis had a more serious expression on her face now as she gave a nod.

Iberis knew full well she would have been willing to throw away a happy life for power not all that long ago under Renee, hopefully Scylla wouldn’t fall into the same trap. But that was in part because a truly happy life hadn’t been entirely conceivable to Iberis until recently.

She thought that Katja’s response was rather nice as far as the pair not being on opposite sides.

“It be kinda like one of his arms deciding to go off and date, possible but impractical, since it’s one of his arm that transformed into my new leg.” She’d speak aloud back to Kali.

“Oh I hadn't really thought about that.” She’d respond when Edith got up close and explained why it was hard to regulate her heat.

“I guess that’s something that full undead don’t need to worry too much about, I don't think it matters a ton if you are in the cold or not besides it being potentially hindering movement since..undead tend to be pretty cold.” She’d comment once more.

Iberis saw Scylla counteract the trap that had been set pretty effectively which was nice to see.

At Viokii’s words Iberis appeared to be in thought, before she nodded, “...That doesn’t sound like an unreasonable hypothesis Viokii, we really could be under an illusion, I mean it’d be logical to have staff nearby or something.. I'm not sure if I’m finding anything super helpful even with my high appraisal use..” She’d add, until she perked up at seeing the devices.

“Oooh yeah! Never mind There are ice crystal units which look like they’ve been overcharged to create these overly cold conditions.”

“And Whether they want to get us arrested or not, I can only imagine that whatever they have planned after that wouldn’t be good.”

She’d nod, “Gotcha Viokii. Thanks for the assist here, that's valuable information. I’ll take a look to see if we can’t use these devices to our advantage.”

Iberis tried to use the following ability to determine what she could learn about the devices, hopefully her appraisal magic as well as her artisan catalyst crafting abilities would come in clutch here.

Happily continuing to lean into Viokii, she'd listen. “I guess I was fated for us to cuddle during this outing after all~” She'd chuckle. “Even though it's due to the fact that it feels like my toes are going to freeze off.” She'd add with a bit of a less cheerful note.

Thankfully, the group had remained calm enough to observe things and inspect them first. Which would pay off, as Iberis would be able to learn what was hot-wiring the magic devices and would be able to de-activate it. It'd still be cold, but it would no longer be freezing them to death. Thankfully, that was also all that seemed to be needed for the dome itself to start operating normally again. Perhaps the doors had been shut as an emergency mechanism to let nobody in upon malfunction, but had been tampered with to instead trap them.

Surprisingly smoothly, the group got out. Kalina smiled when she felt the warmer temperatures outside. They could come see some staff running to check on what had happened, but with them having been able to stay calm, there'd be nothing to explain. At least not enough to be stopped by the staff that went to check on the devices. “Heh. Seems like we escaped some trouble there.”

She'd look around, debating. “Well, I don't want to give them the satisfaction of bullying us out of a fun day... so I say we go look to some more animals. So long as we avoid enclosed areas, we won't have to fear a repeat of this and I doubt they'd try something more public.” She would suggest. “Are you all fine with that?”

Iberis found herself feeling relieved when all was said and done there. She was able to use the knowledge she go from the appraisal n order to use her catalyst tools to fix the wiring on the magic devices. The doors opened up and they had avoided being stuck in a icy zoo prison where they could have caught criminal titles if they had tried escaping the dome space.

Iberis also smiled a bit, but she also looked around skeptically, as if she was expecting their enemies to come out at any moment. It was a calculated move she felt, she doubted loyal cultists to Lord Hasufer were doing it as a prank, it was definitely attempted murder or to bait them into getting criminal titles one way or another.

Regardless with enhanced caution as she gazed around, she'd nod to Edith at her comment about them escaping trouble.

"It's fine by me but now I know it's probably not he best idea to go into enclosed enclosures at the zoo today if those goons are still lurking around. I'm..fine with it, but if I see them appear again or try to threaten us, after this, I won't have any reservations about snuffing them out if it's necessary." Iberis spoke matter of fact.

"Anyway I'm ready to go wherever you all want to go next." she'd state, ready move on when the others were.

"On the plus side guess I learned more about how those kinds of environmental systems work, glad I got into crafting Catalysts too, let me fix them right up back to the way they're supposed to be." She'd add on a more positive note.

Scylla, although she had a tendency to delve into darker paths wasn't without some form of conscience. As proud as she was due to her fusion with a demon she was withing reason. Looking down a bit she folded up her fan before continuing. "I understand both of your concerns. I must say both of you make very valid arguments about Renee as well, and yes, she could have done things differently. And even if we've all surpassed her in ability, it's undeniable how fast she was able to rise without the aid of anyone. I suppose that's the legacy that I aspire to follow."

She continued, this time a bit sadder than she originally began her explanation. "I just.. wish she was here. She'd know how to get us out of this mess with the cultists. We'd be done with them by now."

Katja would suddenly get close, to which she'd have to hold aside for a few moments. She was pretty but they'd just begun to get to know one another. Yet, as she figured, Kalina would suggest she resist the urge to draw too much attention and quite frankly, she obey'd.

"Perhaps Ive lost my touch.." she started, ".. why done we just fight them head on?"

With Iberis' assistance on the matter, their ability to escape their troublesome situation was well assured without needing much difficulty to it. Giving a look in the girl's direction, she gave a small nod of her head.
"It is alright, I am only providing the necessary support where it is applicable. It is your own providable utility in this situation which allowed us to be freed, thank you for your cooperation User Iberis" the construct answered, considering the thought how the Coven group she found herself in likely had the skills to overcome many obstacles yet rather lacked the trained initiative to come up with a solid plan. From the sounds of it, many of the other potential options that may have been spearheaded by the others wouldn't have been so... cleanly executed, with a potential of landing them into further trouble, yet the current plan had managed to keep them out of it.

"Under undesirable reasoning, but you appear to be correct" Viokii answered to Kalina, though now that they were out of the cold enclosure there hadn't been any need to continue doing so. She calmed her internal motors, her internal temperatures regulating and balancing out as her vibrations came to a standstill and parted her hold from Kalina. The dhampir was outside now, with the heat of the outside sun and bodily movement they should hopefully be warmed back up in no time.

As for Scylla who didn't appear to be doing mentally confident, the construct would for a moment walk over and give her a gentle pat on the head.
"It is alright, Cutie. Not every obstacle is overcome within mere moments, or can be easily accomplished alone. I believe that we can all successfully cooperate and overcome this difficulty in due time, I promise you. If you believe that another would know what to do in this situation, then it is possible for us to come up with an answer to solve it. If it helps comfort you, I will start planning efforts to solve the cultist issue, I do not believe actively fighting with the cultists directly will solve the problem, so I'll help think of something that will. For now, I would hope that you and everyone else may continue to find enjoyment despite the intervention, as User Edith mentioned" Viokii spoke, she didn't want the outing to have been sabotaged due to cultist intervention, and they had proven their attempts to be a failed trap by now. The constant cultists were truly an annoying dilemma, but there was likely a capable way in order to get them to stop. Although Scylla's point of directly fighting them head-on could technically work, it wasn't exactly a great way to keep themselves out of immense danger nor circumventing reason for continued future attacks.

Lightly tapping her own visor in thought, something was thinking a little in her mind. Though it'd have to wait until the day was over. Maybe there was something or somewhere they could go in the zoo that'd help put things back on track for a good day. Remembering from her previous scouting, there was something very nearby that should potentially lift spirits. Maybe if she voiced her own interest, it'd be more convincing for others to come.
"There may potentially be one creature in this zoo that I have an interest in seeing, it may also lighten the mood for everyone present. It's very close, only a corner-turn. If you would like to come" the construct offered in invitation, walking on ahead to find what she remembered. It should be around here, near enough to the large indoor polar enclosure, and it should be open now... ahah.

Not that far away, Viokii would lead whoever followed to an open petting zoo. It was free to enter, and mostly outdoors with the exception of a large chain-link enclosure that was roofed. Though, there was noticeable local staff this time around, and rather a lack of anyone else here. They must've been perhaps some of the first to arrive for the petting zoo being open for now, or attention on it was slow. As for the creatures present...

More of a newer presence in the history of the West Empire military, these horse-sized fluffy moth friends were the most popular and widely used Sentinel buddy. A truly iconic and favourite companion within the West Empire, their rare scarcity and difficulty to tame making them very elusive and luxury creatures. Although, if managed to be earned, their loyalty, mobility, and survivability in many environments was highly unmatched. They were surprisingly durable, and incredibly stealthy and quiet. On the off-chance a Lore Mod wants to call out the existence of this magical creature, this one community event lets me make this canon. Plus, I'm an S-Grade narrator, so that too. It was a pretty special occasion to allow these creatures in a petting zoo, having likely been very difficult to train or keep calm in such situations. Though, they appeared quite calm and friendly.

"Even in my limited time within this reality, I have heard of these and their immense popularity within the West Empire. These creatures are highly evolved and adapted to survive many environments, and their skills as well as appearance make them highly adored. As my understanding, all Lymantraius Rex that possess fluff are all female. Males are much fewer in number, and regarded as untrainable. Males of this species are much larger than their female counterparts, and have a much more visually unappealing appearance" Viokii informed, as she went ahead to the petting zoo. There were three of them, rather calm and relaxed, as well as perhaps a dozen miniature fluffballs scrambling around the enclosed area with them only being roughly the size of basketballs... with a lot of that size being pure overly fluff.

"In my research of the ecology within this world, the evolutionary traits of these creatures have come up in topic. They are quite complex under their simple exterior, although I'd imagine most would be more interested in the potential of a new favourite flying and rideable companion creature. I have considered seeking these out, they would make excellently trained companion creatures. Though, efforts to find these wild are usually prohibited due to protection laws. I'd have to receive proper permittance and cooperation with a licensed group that handles these creatures originating from both wild and domestic... " Viokii considered to herself, walking up to one of the adult Lymantraius that was seated lying on the ground and gave it a light caress upon its' head, doing her best to not spook the creature due to her construct appearance. Although, with certain characteristics of how the construct looked, she probably looked more similar to their own kind than most other visitors did.

Glad that Iberis got them out, she kept basking in the warmth of the sun for a bit. Moving her limbs to get her half-cold blood flowing through them again. “Me neither love, me neither.” She'd reply to Iberis about snuffing them out. Kalina too, was getting rather tired of being chased by these cultists. “I guess we just got lucky with Svok, Vistelle and Faldor. These ones are a lot more annoying and nasty. Clearly afraid to oppose us directly and just trying to get us in trouble instead.”

Kalina was a tad confused at Scylla's logic. “Perhaps, but we've all become plenty powerful in short times as well. We're not exactly taking it slow either.” Upon Scylla saying Renee would know what to do with the cultists, Kalina sighed. She closed her eyes, after which it was as if she was seeing Renee again (Sister's Shattering). “Kill 'em all.” That was all. “She'd keep trying to kill them all and all those associated. Not caring if it only got her in more trouble and hated and wanted more in the process. She'd believe her own strength would be enough to keep dealing with it.” Another sigh. “We don't fight them head on, because we already did. We took down their boss. We'd have to fight for a really long” ~~4 RP's~~ “time to finish up every last one of them wanting to try resist us.”

Surprised to hear Viokii about an animal, Kalina would cheer up. “Alright, I'm down!” Surely this wasn't another trick. It actually wasn't! Although the destination was still odd. “A petting zoo?” That was new.

She'd hear out what Viokii was saying. “The West Empire? They've come from pretty far, in that case.” She'd look at the creatures in question. “They do look highly petting zoo worthy.” She would conclude, although she did wonder. “I'm surprised they are that popular, despite being rare.”

Holding out her hand, she'd try see if she could lure one of them over. “Here, here, Lyman... Lymantr... Fluffy. Here fluffy~” She'd already forgotten the name of this species
