The bright yet oppressive sensation confirmed his suspicious. He didn't know the true seeming of this holy leader, but her divine power was unmistakable. And if Lubei was going to choke on it anyway, he'd do it at the feet of her throne and make her remember, not outside the doors like a mutt.

He slammed them open with his foot and shifted the unstirring Vanguard higher in his arms. "The Demon King of Black Ice requires an audience with the Seraph!" He yelled out into the massive structure, striding in without a hint of shame.

Little Russia

As soon as he opened the doors, a dozen young women barred his paths-their reaction speed to his entrance was nearly instantaneous, as if they'd been expecting him and waited just behind the doors for him to make his dramatic entrance. A dozen staves blocked his path, with divine power emenating from each of them. They were scarcely larger than children, but their poise and disciplined stances showed off skill far beyond their apparent years.

Another young woman walked down a grand set of stairs behind the alter, carrying a bible as well as a large cross the size of her body strapped to her back. "And what business does the Demon King of Black Ice have with the Lady Seraph? I must respect your audacity for coming here in this situation, if nothing else-although, I can sense a desperation painting your motives beyond that." She stood behind the wall of staves, head covered by a habit. "Speak. Our lady is gracious, and has the power to forgive even your kin."

YOLF:
Lubei

The demon stopped in the front of the staves only as they pushed against his body. His eyes swept over the guards with the insight of experience, but before he was finished, his mouth was already moving.

"My purpose is not meant for me. This man," he said, raising the crippled Vanguard, "needs healing now. We fought in error, were made fools by a greater danger, and he paid the price. It would be even more foolish to let him die."

Lubei's severe face seemed carved from ice weathered by the ages like a grand monument.

Anastasia

The young woman raised her hand, and the sisters whom had been blocking his path promptly stood at attention with military precision. "I am sister Anastasia-do you speak of the disturbance in the accursed forest?"

She stood on the tips of her toes and looked him seriously in the eyes, leaning forwards and matching his intensity with a glare as cold as iron.

YOLF:
Lubei

Lubei's jaw tightened. Cold unwillingly seeped out of his pores, but he pulled it back into his gut, letting only a smidgen of snow flake off his brows.

"The very same. Well?"

SINIB:
Anastasia

There was a momtary pause as she considered his words. She took a breath and nodded. "You may enter. We have much to discuss."
