Erica knew full well that what Abaddon was asking of her was deadly serious.
If she gave a wrong answer here, he would no doubt run off and raze Cypress' lands to the ground without a second thought.
"What's gotten into you...? This sudden interest in spirits is..."
Erica's words started to trail off as she recalled what may have been Abaddon's most unfair ability.
Based on everything she learned so far, she could only assume that his sudden interest was related to that.
"Is this so that you can evolve again?"
"Mhm."
The phoenix sighed as she flopped back onto her bed, completely unguarded.
"I would like to say that he would tell you easily but... Cypress isn't necessarily your biggest fan after everything that you pulled at dinner."
"The only thing that I should have pulled was his spine from his back. How dare he look at my wife like she's lesser than him?!" The memory alone was enough to infuriate Abaddon.
