Hey there little one!

Have you been a good girl?

Ow...the headaches are coming more often...

Yes I have!

Okay! Have some candy then!

Yay! Candy!

Inquisitor!

Oh! Teacher! I didn't see you th...h-have we met before?

What nonsense are you babbling about?

My apologies, teacher! Forgive my presumption.

Master Everen is waiting for you in his quarters. Hurry on, and don't keep him waiting!

The nerve of these youngsters these days...

Yes! Apologies, teacher!

Ugh, my head...got to hurry! I can't keep Master Everen waiting!

She cannot hear us?

Correct, master.

Explain why you are using their faces.

Ah. This is a delicate dreamscape, master, moreso than her companions. If we are to keep her trapped here, I must exercise the greatest of care.

Familiar faces will be easier for her mind to remember. Otherwise her body will be rendered useless to your schemes.

Mmmm. Very well. I shall be this...Everen in this dream. I trust it will be amusing.

A-Ah! A-As you wish, master.

Master Everen! I'm sorry for the wait!

Enter! You have kept me waiting.

Why are you looking at me that way?!

My apologies! I did not wish to offend y--

Your decision to leave us is final, then?

Y-Yes, Master. I am.

Is that him, in the courtyard?

Y-Yes, Master.

H-He's a very good man! And he comes from a distinguished family!

A-And our son...at least, he says it's a boy...

A boy, eh? To take his mother's place, I hope.

Y-Yes, master! He will have the best education we can find! And he will ser-

What is his name?

His name? I...I don't...

Master! What are you doing?!

What your paltry magic forces me to dictate, fool!

I don't...why can't I remember...

Adriesta! Snap her back, fool!

I'm trying, master! Nnh!

What is happening?!

It's the seal, master! We're seeing the remnants of the enchantment on her mind that was used to cloud her memories!

Speak simply, incompetent wench!

I-I can't!

Stupid whelp! It seems I have to take matters into my own hands!

Y-You! Where am I?!

In a place of my own making. And now, you will kneel before me, mother!

N-No! It can't be!

Kneel, and serve as my consort for all eternity! Together, we will burn the world and rule over creation!

M-Master! But why?!

What?! That's...that's disgusting! I would never do such a thing!

Pity. But I do not need your consent! The foundation has already been laid. All I need to do is...

Ahhh!

This.

Nnnnnngh!

N-No! I won't!

Too late, mother. Behold, your body already rises to battle the forces sent by your so-called friends!

No! Make it stop!

Aahahahahahahaha!

M...Master...am I not good enough for you?
