Lilith's tone sounded genuine as she told me she wanted to help. I still didn't trust her, but since I was her vessel, and my death would surely end her existence as well, it seemed reasonable to believe that her offer was sincere.
I had no clue if I could really trust Lilith, but it looked like I had no choice but to rely on her, at least for now.
"Alright," I told Lilith. "Help me."
A soft chuckle echoed within me, faint yet clear. It didn't seem like a particularly wise decision, but it was the only option I could see.
"Verily, then. I shall help thee," Lilith responded.
Suddenly, I was back in the familiar white void where I'd seen her last time, just after conquering three women. Lilith appeared again, though this time not as her usual small-statured form; she looked more like a teenage girl. Did her appearance… change? She was seated on one of the chairs around the round table. I took the seat across from her.
