"another door ?" rachael repeated, taking a look as well. silence filled the void between them intermittently, her thoughts in motion as a sigh escaped her lips. "morganna and i will take these girls up...i will need to have a conversation with byrne's assistant". she said, her tone contemplative, when they heard loud, rhythmic footsteps echo within the dungeon. a deep earthy fragrance assaulted their senses, and their heads began to grow faint. well, some of them– rachael and her daughters seemed immune to it. rachael slowly turned back, along with her daughters, her discerning gaze meeting the gaze of a female golden-haired fox lady. "i'm right here, lady jun". the woman said, her tone a melodic timbre that soothed the seas. she had an aura of prestige and beauty that cascaded with her golden, lush hair and pointy, golden fox ears, exuding ethereal beauty. her cleavage protruded from her red and golden kimono, adorned with intricate patterns of mountains, seas and birds. a geta adorned her feet, and a golden, lush tail protruded from her backside, lifting the rear end of her kimono, revealing the silky, bronze skin of her legs as she strolled into the dungeon. her violet–pink eyes, with black cat pupils, constricted as they screened through the dungeon. after a few seconds, she finally turned back to rachael, a playful smile creeping onto her face "....have you captured her ?" rachael asked, ignoring her smile. aria son goku was always a mystery. unlike most of the patriarchs and their partners, she never attended the prestigious academy, so they never got the chance to get acquainted. not to mention, she was from the northern empire, which was north of the jun town, a town governed by the jun's. "sadly, she escaped; it was rather comical really...none of us expected it". she replied, her tone sounding like a harmonious harp, played to soothe the hearts of the troubled. her gaze flickered between the beastkins, their troubled hearts and assaulted bodies lay bare for her to see. her lips curled downwards. "what happened to them ?" her tone was sharp and fierce like her eyes, piercing daggers at rachael. rachael sighed, turning away from her, her gaze fixed on the door. ".....crying orcs". she responded, a bitter tone in her voice. aria's eyes slowly contorted deeply on realization, her otherworldly beauty turning into a fierce, shroud of beastial anger. ".....how...how dare they ?". her fingers bore into her palms as memories of the battle against the cat beastkin flashed through her mind. she used another royal beast to create a fog to find a means of escape, and she could have easily stopped it, but out of compassion for her race....she didn't....now..she wished otherwise. aria could have at least crippled the girl so she could have gotten answers from her, but now, all that had been swept away by her compassion. aria noticed it instantly. "oh scary~, i was only joking around, dear gloria". a playful smile grew from her lips, her thoughts coming into play. 'hah, their kinship is even stronger than that of the beastkins...hah~, how much i envy that'. she thought, walking past gloria, and heading towards the door. "chop~, chop~, we dont have all day, dear". her playful tone sent chills through the air, making it difficult to discern her true intentions. perhaps having her as an enemy would be troublesome. 'though, killing her would be a walk in the park'. according to their estimates, she was at least 9th circle, nothing compared to a grandmaster of the 10th star, such as gloria and rachael, or the 11th circle cuch as fiona, and then there was their father, michaelo. their family currently had four powerhouses when compared to the world's power system. they weren't a simple family to be messed with. 'is probably what they're thinking'. aria thought to herself, her smile expanding into a wild grin. gloria walked after her slowly, letting her take the lead, and so she had no reason to hide her expressions. 'they have no idea how badly the royal family wants them dragged down...they're too powerful, but once the king takes raffaelo under his command, it will be the start of their downfall'. she was sure of that. though, the twelve great families maintained independence from one another and refrained from messing with each other because of the equality in their military prowess. but with time, the jun household had been growing stronger...producing a twelfth star that had only been heard in history and three grandmasters...they were too much of an uncertainty to the king and some of the great families thought it wise to drag them to the ground. they had thought that it was mayura's grace that had given them a single son this time. their plan would be carried out soon enough, no matter how strong the boy was; there was no going back once he was under control of the king. her thoughts reeled with images and conversations from the past few years. her eyes sparking with intensity and her grin increased, her sharp fangs glinting within the depth of her silhouette. it was only a matter of time, but for now, all these thoughts must be suppressed. she raised her head, turning towards gloria, her expression once filled with bloodlust and dark intent was now playfully exhibiting an innocence too artificial to believe. gloria's gaze locked onto hers when aria said. "we're almost there, hope you've prepared yourself". they were nearly at the door, and most of the beastkins had been safely evacuated by morganna and rachael, who stayed behind for this very purpose. gloria shrugged. "nothing scares me". she said, her tone stiff and void of emotions. aria chuckled, turning around and increasing her pace, while gloria followed suit. "what an amusing child". she said, her tone laced with playfulness as she laughed out loud, but it seemed like she failed to hide her true intentions from gloria. gloria stared at her from the corners of her eyes, a mask of annoyance hovering over her face. 'did she think i wouldn't feel that bloodlust ?...' . she turned away, ignoring the woman and preparing her mind for the task at hand. there was no telling what hid behind those doors but that woman was just..... 'disgusting'.
