(231) Apate

--Phase 2: Endure--

*****

A dark figure hovered high above the city of Valhalla. It was a beautiful woman with flowing dark hair, golden eyes, and translucent black wings extending from her shoulders. 

Apate looked down at the strange Human and his companions from above the clouds. She'd watched everything.

From his odd transformation to murdering that woman, then bringing her back to life and gaining the recognition of a much higher Tier creature.

She had intended on stepping in to help him unlock his Bloodline, but it seemed he didn't need assistance. He even devoured that entire Bloodline Orb in one go!

He showed compassion to the Direwolves yet slaughtered his own kind ruthlessly outside of the Dungeon. It didn't make any sense.

She followed the large group to an odd... city?

Apate could hardly call it a city. It had high-standing walls and was an impressive size for a Human development, but it was so... empty!
