I saw no limits to the endless void of darkness that Irene was tapping into. Just seeing her through that intricately fine aura of darkness forced me to acknowledge the straightforward truth about the matter.
The darkness, the element that I was now only starting to get familiar with, was Irene's very own realm. What still felt like an elusive and external power behaved as the flow of Irene's own aura.
'Just like the flow within Madam's domain.'
It was something I've noticed second-hand only. Before my first meeting with Etaria, I noticed the lingering momentum of Madam's influence hanging in the air. During the recent battle, both Fay's mom and the golden princess, for some reason, refused to deploy their domains altogether.
