"This is pointless." Aron commented with his head slightly tilted towards Aella. He really was surprised that she thought she could could hope to beat him in her weakened state.
"Aron..." Jagu muttered with a helpless look in his eyes, he knew full well that if Aron chose to he could slaughter everyone present and Jagu would be helpless to stop him. "I didn't come here to kill Komi, I came to help you cure your people." Aron looked at Jagu with a small smirk and played the part that Jagu had laid out.
Aron casually tossed aside Aela back to the ground as many gazes still looked at him with great hatred, all except the clone who looked at him rather strangely. 'He'll prove to be problematic to the main for sure...' the clone thought as she began slowly reaching into her cloak.
However Aron could clearly see her do so in the corner of his eye and he didn't hesitate to unsheathe his sword before slashing her head clean off. "Everyone today seems bent on killing me. I must be doing something wrong if I look that easy of a target." Aron commented with a blank expression on his face while looking at the beheaded clone whose body soon began to fade into nothingness.
Once it completely faded he retrieved he sheath his sword and faced the numerous Komi gathered with a cold expression. Even they who looked down on other races felt wary of Aron especially given their current predicament.
"You are simply lucky that our people are ill, else you wouldn't dare be so haughty!" Kaira yelled out in anger from the humiliation Aron made them feel. The other Komi were quick to agree with her statement, if they weren't ill could a single person really dare to look down upon their clan?
"If you have the courage then wait until we are cured and fight us honorably to prove your strength." Aella stood from the ground and pointed her spear towards Aron before declaring this but he simply snickered at her. "Courage? Honor? What does that any of that mean in the face of raw power? The fact right now is simple, you are weak and I am strong..."
"...Besides, I've got nothing to prove to anyone but myself. Your acknowledgment means less than nothing to me, if that hurts your pride then feel free to hunt me down once you are cured." Aron declared before gripping Aela's spear with one hand and snapping it in half.
The force alone caused her to stumble back and fall to the ground while Aron simply looked down at her for a moment before turning to Jagu and speaking. "Here, pour that into your main source of water and in a week's time you'll all recover fully. I'm done here." Aron explained before turning to leave.
As for weather Jagu would return to the Sovereign or not, he did not know. Although losing him could be regarded as a loss, the information Aron gained here was far more valuable hence Aron didn't even attempt to convince him and left the choice up to him.

Meanwhile in an unknown location, the real body of the cloaked woman was making her way through a dimly lit wide and large hall like that of a castle.
Much of the hall looked to be in a very poor state with some of it's walls and floor tiles cracked and the pillars shattered. 'It's getting harder to breathe...' the woman thought the longer she walked forward, it was as if the air was truly growing thinner with every step.
[ shlck..ukai...ookei...plagri..kaio... ]
The closer she got to the hall's end the more she heard echoey voices within her mind whispering unknown words to her. Her mind soon began to grow heavy and it was like her body was now being attracted by a force to move forward.

Before long she found herself standing in front of a ten meter high crystal like door that gave off a dim glow.
[ Why have you come here.... ]
The echoey voices inquired within the woman's mind and made her feel a sharp pain within her chest as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.
"I-I came to make a contract... your kind make contracts don't they. The records said so..." The cloaked woman found it hard to speak but she provided the unknown voices her reason for being there.
A brief silence followed the voices once again invaded her mind. "Offer, offer, what is your offer..." They inquired in low whispers while the pain she felt began to ease up.

"Power... I want the power to seek revenge, I'm willing to pay whatever price." She offered with little hesitation in her voice causing a sinister laugh to resound from behind the door.
Only when the brief laughter came to a stop did she hear a response within her mind. "Your body..." the voices replied but the woman didn't flinch as if expecting such a price. "I agree..."
After giving her agreement the sinister laughter once again resounded from behind the door. "Your hand... place it on the door..." The voices instructed and the cloaked woman slowly brought her hand closer before finally making contact with the door.
Immediately she did so a jolt of energy struck her body and she stiffened all over. The door began to glow brighter and many runes appeared on the door and began moving towards her hand before extending to the rest of her body.
"Argh!!!" The cloaked woman could only yell out in great pain as the runes covered her entire body through the cloak.
....
Meanwhile at the beginning of the hall, Lady Rose and Evanora heard the loud scream that echoed trough the entire dimly lit hall.
"Someone is in pain." Evanora commented blankly while pointing forward to which Lady Rose just nodded. "Well yes screams are usually associated with pain. We'll know the reason behind them soon enough, let's keep going."
