Confrontation

'This voice is...!'

  Not only were Layla and True Void shocked by the immense power that the voice possessed, but they were also bewildered by its arrival.

After all, the owner of the voice is...

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Crackling noises appeared above as the space distorted.

Layla shot a look toward the distortion above, her beautiful face twisting in unmasked displeasure.

"White Lily!"

A giant lily carved from diamond crystals appeared from the distortion. Its fragile petals opened, revealing White Lily's ethereal figure. Her flowing silver hair and light pink eyes glowed. Though she appeared serene, the magic energy her body emitted was anything like it. Even her usually calm expression appeared scary.

"I suppose with the Sovereign's Cradle losing its power, you're magic is no longer restrained," Layla said with a wry smile.

Just as the cradle losing its effect benefitted her, the same was true with Kyran's side.
