Panel 184
Kalez is truly tempted to force the Hydra into submission, but her hand is stayed by an immutable fact; She'd lose
The Hydra is powerful, more powerful than any in the castle realize, save perhaps Midas. The Hydra is powerful enough to ruin everything, powerful enough to ruin her . . . dream.
Dreams.
That's what this is all about.
Melancholy seeps into Kalez' armored shell as hot water on a meal crab.
Dreams of a better tomorrow.
The pain of memory boils under her chitin.
Azzeki notices her pain and seems tempted to comfort the scorpions' distress.
The Hydra remains oblivious.
Kalez motions for Azzeki to hold her position. she then lowers her hood.
the pain on her face is real, as is the sorrow in her words 'I too cared for Diavola . . . in my way'
The hydra is effect by the rare emotion of their jailer but clings to anger, 'Liar! you killed her!' Fason voices.
Kalez' sigh comes out ragged 'Yes I did, I hated what she had become but I hated myself more for twisting her in into the monster she became'
'Just like how you've twisted us!' Mifal huffs, trying to act strong.
'Yes just as I had Aebin twist all of you' Kalez admits 'I thought ending the monster would ease my guilt but it only weighed heavier on me'
Kalez pauses and a voice of understanding speaks from the head of Solia 'and then what?'
The golden scorpion loathes sympathy and snaps back 'then the pain endured. Until today.' a fierceness returns to Kalez 'I no longer think Vardek was lying when she said Diavola lives, this being true places everyone in the kingdom in grave danger, even you she'll not see you as friend anymore.'
Kalez Reaches for the last of her fading passion 'I may not care for you in the way you like, but I AM keeping you safe, all of us in the castle are.' Kalez holds her arms wide a strike against me would be a strike on all of them. we need each other working together now more then ever to survive.
A moment of silence is followed by hushed whispers from the heads. the heads seem wary and Mifal speaks 'we will return to the upper level, for now.'
