The rumbling sound was getting louder. The splattered blood unified as it flowed back to the Eterna's body, making the wound quickly regenerate. She opened her eyes, then glared at Lich. Eterna looked so strange.
"That wasn't her. Such a mark appeared on her neck. Is that a cult mark?" Lich tried to see the symbol, the star on top of the square. The more she saw, the more Eterna's mark glowed into a red color. Suddenly, the mark started to spread to the whole of Eterna's body.
'Eterna was definitely not under the control of her own body.' Lich thought as she was not lowering her guard. Such a strong wave appeared when the mark completely covered Eterna's body as the windows shattered.
*Thud*
Lich knocked back to the door, and she then fell to a sitting position. She tried to wake up, but a strong wind came toward her. Eterna was jumping and threw a punch, Lich tried to parry with her daggers, but both broke into pieces. She knocked back again, but this time she broke the door. She then tried to stop her momentum to prevent her from falling since she could break the guard rails. She stabbed the wood floor with the remaining pieces of her daggers.
"What power are you possess?" Lich asked as she turned invisible. Eterna couldn't know where Lich's position was. So, She just attacked randomly by punching the air and moved forward little by little. Whenever she attacked that way, she carelessly forgot her back was off-guard. Lich reappeared as she put her hand on the neck's mark.
" Es onoreth elepa opa ofta ot symfiola, Aeth Yoko osed uom in ous aiglov." Lich chanted a spell. Before Eterna could react to that, Her mark slowly disappeared as her body became weaker and fell to the floor.
"That was some pain in the ass." Lich sighed while stretching her hand and waist. She observed around and heard a group of people coming to the second floor. So she decided to Eterna on her shoulder. She disappeared as if there was nothing. Not so long after that, Everyone in the inn came upstairs, but only a mess left.

"I never saw cases like this. Eterna acts like a cursed... executioner. She could kill someone easily with her blessing power." Lich talked to Noxus in the cave. Both Lich and Noxus crouched as their eyes looked at Eterna's body. The cave wasn't so dark since there were few torches on the wall.
"But, I didn't know why the-" Noxus held his head with his right hand as a sort of memory forced his current state to remember.
"Why do you stop talking?" Lich tried to ask while her right hand tried to balance her crouching position by touching the ground. She looked at Noxus carefully. She was anticipating an unexpected moment.
"It is because of the songs. I used that song to revive Eterna before." Noxus told the reason since he realized something wrong with the method. At first, he only thought that the blood came back to Eterna's body because of the use of her blood ritual. But, there was a big reason that lay in the songs he chant.
"What song?" Lich asked out of curiosity. She gently touched Eterna's neck with her index and middle fingers as she tried to find the symbol. She looked interested in Eterna.
"The prohibited song." Noxus kept answering implicitly. Lich then glared at him as she clenched her left fist.
"Songs of the damned? Just tell it directly, you son of a-." Lich guessed as her hand almost hit Noxus, but before she did that, He answered.
"Okay-okay... Much worst, Song of The cursed,"
"What the hell are you doing?" Lich yelled at the top of her lung. She wouldn't expect that was the reason.
In Aerila, The Gods created many songs. Each song contains a spell that people could use separately. By that time, People have used it for evil deeds. So, Every god decided to forbid certain songs for their believers while every manuscript about it disappeared. But, Noxus was an exception. His blessing let him know every knowledge in the world.
"The Goddess Yoko asked me before and I was panicking at the time," Noxus told his justification as he moved his hand nervously every time he talked.
"Oh... Goddess..." Lich only sighed from hearing that answer as she scratched her neck. She looked away to the sea. She was confused about how to reach that.
"But, Really. What did you do to her?" Noxus stood up as he started to not feel his feet. When he stood up, He almost lost balance because of the numbness. He then glared at her, he worried that she was doing something bad to Eterna.
"I killed her once." Lich stayed in place while she tilted her head and saw Noxus's eyes.
"Are you mad lad? That wasn't the way, she is the prophecy by the Goddess," Noxus was taken aback as he heard the reason from Lich's mouth. He questioned Lich's motives. He walked toward Lich but she kept following his movement. While on the back of her, which was a place she couldn't see, He tried to nudge her body. He felt kinda frustrated. Lich who was not ready fell and sat completely on the ground.
"Then? She didn't die after all. She deserves a place here." Lich stood up as her hand shrugged as she tried to stand up. After that, their eyes met. The height of Noxus slightly taller makes him look down to see her face.
"Stop answ-" Noxus barked, but he couldn't finish it.
"None of your business. Better if you find some powerful person like her. At least, she is better than the rest of the useless people that hide in this cult," Lich disgraced the other members as she talked slowly as an act to make him pissed off. He couldn't accept this kinda treatment, so He walked closer and slapped her cheeks.
"Keep your mouth shut! Find it by yourself if that's what you wa-" Noxus screamed at Lich.
*Ptui*
Lich spat on Noxus's face and also kicked his crotch. Noxus fell with unbearable pain on his "son". He was rolling around with his left hand in between the crotch. He tried to peek at Lich.
"Duh, I will do it if I have your blessings. Anyway, remember this. They will bring your death if you keep protecting them. Anyway, Take care of Eterna for me. See you in the morning," She warned him as she was disappearing.
'What is wrong with her.' Noxus was confused about the situation.
