As Helena drops the letter on the floor as cold sweat runs down her face, "Belial?! What the fuck could she want?!" She says breathily, her chest heaving as she takes deep breaths to calm down. Her mind is running wild, the thought that the Principle of Harmony will personally come to "send them off" makes her nearly collapse to her knees in fear.
She wastes no time as she takes off running out of the room, downstairs she sees Yue walking out into the hallway while carrying a book. She catches up to her and tells her about the letter frantically and Yue just stares emotionlessly.
"I see... How strong is this "Belial"?" Yue says with a shrug.
"Belial is at least the third strongest Principle! Her power is Umbrakinesis! We need to run as fast as possible, she attacks tonight!"
"I suppose so... Then we will prepare, tell Fa and Ezra to prepare their bags and i'll prepare the chariot for them while i stay behind." Yue smirks.
"What?!" Helena stares in disbelief, "why would you kill yourself like that?!"
"Someone has to protect my book collection and my mother's scrolls." She puts her hands on her hips with a small pout while Helena's expression darkens.
"Fine, suit yourself." She says before walking off to find Fa and Ezra.
She walks on into the training area to see Ezra standing inbetween Qiang and Fa to stop a fight from happening. Helena looks angry and hurriedly restrains them with water and puts them next to each other against an autumn tree and tells them everything about the letter, asking them to prepare immediatelly.
Once they leave, Helena breathes a deep sigh of relief and turns to Ezra, "what was that about?" She says, an air of annoyance remaining in her tone.

"I don't know... Seems like Qiang and Fa are on bad terms. I'll ask Qiang later, i'll prepare first."
He walks away and Helena stays, staring into empty space thinking of how illogical the letter is. If the Principle of Harmony never attacks someone and hates battle then why would she not send a General of hers? She has many so it would only seem natural unless it was a direct order from Lucifer himself. Those thoughts weigh on her mind, even worse, why would he not send Baal or Azazel? Both stronger Principles.
Her thinking is interupted by yelling in the main building, upon entering she is greeted by Fa who is yelling at Yue, telling her that risking her life in such a worthless way is stupid to which Yue simply doesn't say anything, a silent scowl on her face. Fa Jin slams his fist into the wall, forming cracks in it as he stares at her in anger. She doesn't reply, only taking out a single purple box and handing it to him.
"Open it after you get out of here." She flashes a small smile and walks off.
Fa Jin only stares at the box and looks sad and worried but doesn't push the issue further, Yue then goes to find Ezra and once she finds him on the second floor, packing his things she walks over and hands his a brown box, telling him to open it once they leave the estate.
The chariot is readied, and they begin to board. Fa Jin looks back at his sister with a sad, almost tearful gaze.
He walks over to her and hugs her, kissing her softly on the cheek, "please be careful, sister..."
She chuckles and nods, seeing him walk off. She then sits down on the ground and waits for nightfall. After multiple hours, footsteps are heard at the path towards the estate, the gate opening slowly before Yue looks at the figure who apeared. A tall and slim woman with long white hair and a black and white dress, a blindfold across her eyes.
Yue stands up, "took you long enough to apear..." She yawns, dressed in a flowing teal robe.
"I had thought everyone would have left after the letter..."
"No, i wouldn't leave just like that... Especially when i finally have the opportunity to kill a Principle."
"Kill me? You think you're capable of that?"
"Don't worry, i'll make it as painful as possible, i'm just getting excited..." Yue grins widely.
