The symbol of the crescent moon created by a sword, stuck with Azemo for the days after the forest was rid of its sickness. Something about the symbol just seemed so familiar, but Azemo could never quite put his finger on it.
After cleansing the forest, Azemo wanted to sleep and yet he could not as Ima forced him to report to the monsters.
When Azemo tried to convince the sisters to report for him, his intentions were easily discerned.
Azemo did not want to put the two sisters in danger and he hoped they would be busy for the next battle. Of course, Ima and Bella were outraged and refused to leave Azemo's side for the rest of their time in the forest.
Azemo was touched by their loyalty, but he was worried about putting them into danger. As such he decided to let everyone rest for an extra day while they talked to the monsters. If they were going to be fighting, everyone needed to be in peak condition.
