Daughter's Mother

Varian's soul froze in time. Now, he's just a blank puppet she could use and kill as she pleased.

But Eshala's mind blanked out by what she heard at the end.

"Safe?"

He must be lying. 

The letter clearly stated that and also showed her the evidence that she disappeared after falling into his hands.

"The letter…" 

It's sent by someone clearly hostile to Varian.

Eshala hurriedly took out a memory extraction treasure. It's used on prisoners to find out important memory. But using it would destroy their soul beyond repair. 

She wouldn't have cared about it. Yet, a part of her mind questioned what if she's going to regret this?

What if he really saved her daughter?

What if he didn't torture her?

If she broke his soul, would her daughter forgive her?

Eshala's love for her child was beyond anything normal. 

For any challenged faction leader, escaping the tournament avenue was akin to forfeiting.
