Apexion gazed at Lyra, who kneeled before him, and commanded,

"Advance."

Hearing him, Lyra nodded, after which her body started to pulse with divine energy. Then, a glowing circle manifested beneath her, and she started shouting a chant,

She started to ascend upwards for about ten kilometers before she came to a stop. She gazed downwards at the bleeding phantom-like heart that she was now standing on.

Below it was a phantom-like bleeding tongue, and below that was the corpse of her daughter, whose eyes were deadlocked on her.
