"You are my solace. You are the only thing that keeps me away from the thought of solely living to exact revenge."
Iliana been a vengeful person in Basil's past life. She had often gone for days and come home bruised and battered. Whenever he asked what happened, she had always answered him with 'some trash stood in my way.' He didn't know at that time what she meant by that. She thought she had people after her which was one of his reasons to get stronger quickly.
The enemy had never been after her all along. She sought them, which led to the Church figuring out her true identity. At that point, Iliana was no longer vengeful; but karma was catching up to her. The Church's Executioners actively sought her, aiming to end her life without alerting anyone.
One day, they succeeded and it changed him forever.
