Shattered Expectations

Seraphina and Whisperwing had already left for the research centre midway through Isadora's introduction.

Isadora nodded. "Thank you," she replied.

"Alright, make yourself at home," Celeste said, handing her over to Selene and Shani. She then turned and approached Orion, who was being led out of the room by Fifi, followed by the rest of her sisters.

Three hours Later,

After ensuring Isadora settled in, Orion swiftly arrived at the Research Centre.

Before him stood Seraphina, with Whisperwing perched on her right shoulder, legs crossed.

"How's the progress with 'her' going?" Orion asked, his tone serious.

"There isn't any," Seraphina responded, shaking her head. "Even with some of the equipment Ilse lent us, we've barely made a dent. The Primordial barrier may have sealed her completely, but it didn't make her body any easier to break into." She exhaled tiredly.
