With the return of Alex and Luna Ceris, they retired to a single conference room deep within the Nevan, accompanied by Kerion and Jade Derto. The walls, floor, ceiling, and door were all so heavily spelled that they glowed constantly, every inch covered by a ward or rune of some kind, preventing violence.
"So they destroyed New Dragon Moon simply to find Kai?" Alex remarks, his expression filled with veiled anger. "There must be some other reason, something that actively justifies their actions. Not even the Nix were so incredibly stupid!"
"They had said that, if he was not stopped, Kai would destroy everything. Planets, universes, everything." Luna replies, sighing as she twirls a handful of ice crystals around her wrist absently. "Though I doubt that any one person, even one of Hikaru's siblings, would be that powerful."
"Perhaps they acted upon misinformation? Someone acting behind the scenes to cause discord amongst the empires?" Kerion offers, as floored by the news as Jade.
"Even so, they are still guilty of murder on a planetary scale. And once Irrelai, and especially Iroku, find out, we'll all be hard-pressed to keep even peaceful relations with the Archive." She counters, shaking her head.
"We need to find out the truth. If their actions really are as unexplainable as they seem, we may have to deem them, or at least the admiral leading the fleet and his commanding officers, Kuo. And in order to do that, we need to speak with Nisorin and Celestie. Which will be difficult, given where they are." Alex adds, shaking his head before laying it on Luna's shoulder.
"Difficult, but not impossible. There are many Relorian spirits who would be glad to help. Call Iroku."
