The Party After

The rest of the people at the party were having a blast, or rather, most of them were. The few who didn't have a completely fantastic time there was Ayla, some part of it was from the growing pit in her stomach as she saw Ariael's display of power. She now wondered how exactly she would execute such a plan.

However, the real reason she was having a terrible time was because she was fresh out of a fight with her daughter over what she did during the battle in Babyl. Of course, they were together when they paraded with Ariael and when they witnessed their divine providence. But there still was a division between both.

Now here she was, drinking copious amounts of wine thanks to that little Nasiah boy offering some to her. She was about to grab another cup until she was stopped by a familiar face.

"I think that's enough for one night." It was Elisabeth, who gave the Head of the Delene Household a smile.
