I've already failed once? Wait... she couldn't possibly mean... oh god... that can't be!!!" Nora now distressed paced back and forward in the guestroom. Her steps sporadic and brash, "Someone had crossed the barrier and become an ascendant, become a part of divinity. No, that can't be...
Clearly, she was someone that was already part of divinity. From the words she had spoken, it was clear that she had watched her cultivate from nothing until she reached the peak of pseudo-ascendancy. Nora knew that she had been the first from her universe to claw her way all the way up to the very border of divinity. Yet this being already existed at the height of power. If she hadn't failed, she would've been able to meet this being who had been a part of the very divinity of existence. She would've been able to become like this being. Above all other beings, divine.
'For now, I can still rely on Sev and Lucius to restrain my new impulses but I must find a way to suppress the primal instincts within me. Otherwise, once my cultivation improves I may end up creating a slaughter...'

Lucius had long bolted from the mansion and was racing out of town. Unlike Mirlie who had simply lived during the era of war and helped deal with some rogue undead, he had been on the frontlines of the worst of the fighting, alongside the rest of the Order of Solomon. He had witnessed the worst atrocities imaginable. If Percy was a part of one of the Four Horsemen's plans, he had to intervene, he had to stop them. As long as he could attempt to stop the same event's from happening, he would even lay his life on the line.
He ran out as fast as he could, leaving a constant blur in his wake, his steps quickly leaving the city behind as it faded into the distance. A warrior by trade, his pace far surpassed the average mage, regardless of spells.

After Mirlie had fully calmed down, she and Sev went to find Nora. Sev knew that she probably wanted to say a few words, he knew that she hadn't been in control of herself. In his past, he had lost control a few times and he'd always regretted his actions afterwards, yet he still had to deal with the aftermath...
As they approached the guestroom, they felt something was off. The higher a mage progressed, they would slowly develop a strange sixth sense, a sense of the world around them. As Great Mages, they had only developed their odd sixth sense to its most basic form, yet as they approached Sev and Mirlie clearly felt something horribly off...
Something told them that something that shouldn't exist was standing on the other side of the guestroom door. Knowing that Nora had entered the guestroom, he ignored the feeling inside his head and reached for the doorknob. Only for him to freeze as he made contact with the doorknob. The moment he made contact, he heard the voice of an eerie speaking female trail off as they spoke, "In due time, in due time..." He didn't know what to do, he froze there and time ticked on, only for him to open the door to find Nora pacing back and forth in her room.
"Nora what was that?!" disrupted from her pacing by Sev's words, Nora stared at Sev and Mirlie who had just walked into the guestroom. Only for her to feel disappointed as she noticed that Mirlie began to shake as she made eye contact with her.
"Sev, I gotta tell you the truth... I just met a God..."
