Before Akatosh's mission came to its final conclusion, there at the high tower of Mavigrid held a meeting from the councils.

After he had delivered the parchments from lady Eletzia Alustroll. She hands over the documents to her sovereign superior, the lady queen of the sea—Izura. The second council of Mavigrid.

From there, six out of ten were present inside the meeting chamber. But it seems only one controls the room, and that is Izura.

"Well then… shall we begin," Izura says.

"We will now begin the questioning conference." Implores Izura's royal advisor, the man with eyeglasses. "If there are any objections feel free to say now." He continues scattering his eyesight towards the five councils.

Seconds of no objection or words from the five council Izura's advisor sigh.

"Since there are no objections I shall continue--" He stop the moment Izura's eyes went serious as if she had detected someone with foul intention.

"Tselios you may continue." Izura smile.

"Pardon me," Tselios says, placing dozens of parchments and documents. The ones that Akatosh scour. "One of our confederates manage to gain this valuable information from one of yours… Lord Mizrah." Tselios's eyes narrow one of the congress-- Lord Mizrah the fourth member of the ten councils. A middle-aged man with fine skin and cold eyes.

"Earl Endeve Threshfoll one of your barons was allegedly funding bandits, brigands, pirates and even making alliances with the Empire of Endregar. Not just him but four more were convicted of revolution." Tselios says eyeing the two members of the council.

"Though, there wasn't any traces concerning or connection from their superior. However, there are countless evidence and people regarding your rank as one of the councils."

"Investigate as much as you want." Lord Mizrah interrupts. "Inquire as you like. As for my congruity with revolution. I let you know I have nothing to do with it."

"True, there wasn't a shred of evidence that would reject your denial. Still, the fact that they are under your--"

"I said what I said. You can ask your divination friend hiding in shadow." Mizrah interrupts. "And for the faith of those that were accused, they will be tried of heresy. It is my duty as one of the four members of the 'Council of Order', is it not."

"Very well then. But you should know what would happen--"

Mizrah smile. "You can have your surveillance at full time, it doesn't matter to me."

"Well then let's move on to the next topic." Izura smile. "There's something I want to confirm but since we're not in a full meeting. I will let you all inform just a little, regarding some 'Stillmage'."

Following the past hours of conversation, the room was left silent after Izura and her servants left the chamber.

"Damn it!" One of the councils slams the table. "We should have dealt with her a long time ago. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be here."

"Don't worry." A man in bandage says, covering all his body except his right red eye. "The sea can be soft sometimes."

Roughly three days had passed, Earl Endeve Threshfoll followed by his four other accusers was stripped from their nobility and thus clamp with heredity. As for Earl Endeve Threshfoll's estate, Lady Izura granted one of her servants to overlook the place and its property. By then all the slaves were freed from their captivity which is requested by Lady Eletzia Alustroll.

As Akatosh and Lady Eletzia are having their last conversation in the garden. Sipping tea and exchanging words Akatosh had one parting request from Lady Eletzia Alustroll. A requisition that his connection would be left to silence and of course there's money and items involved.

"Aren't you going to say farewell to them?" Eletzia says towards Akatosh.

"It matters not. By the way, you must have felt lonely, I can tell."

"So you notice. It was five years ago when he died."

"Oof... Now you're interested in someone else drama." Comes Amaragnum.

Ignoring the stillmage's voice Akatosh indulges himself in what Eletzia's saying.

"My husband was ambushed after he had finished conferring there at Starhim. But the truth is, he was killed for political reasons."

"I-I'm sorry for bringing this up to you," Akatosh respond.

"That's alright because he still lives to my heart." Eletzia smile, a pure smile.

"I see—" Akatosh says slightly curving half of his lips. "—it seems my time here is enough. Give my regards to Lilia." Akatosh said sauntering away. And just a few feet away he heard a child calling to her mother, it was Eletzia's child.

Akatosh sigh. "So it was happy after all."

A couple of steps away from the villa, someone grabs his cloak. He turns around to see an apparition. It was Lila.

All of a sudden, a gush of sadness and sorrow submerges his heart. She couldn't say a word, but Lila conveys her last message to the traveler not by words but through telepathic.

"My brother doesn't know but after we'll return to our homeland, I will soon be gone. But before that, I will tell him our time, even if it is just a little."

Akatosh couldn't say a word but he already knew the moment Lila reveals her true form. Now he realizes the true identity that was traveling with him.

"Akatosh… thank you. It was fun meeting you." Lila says as her apparition begins to disintegrate like fireflies.
