The Remnant of Lamia had snapped and gone insane.
As her Champion had surmised, Lamia no longer trusted anyone or anything, and she did not crave an equal partnership, only dominion, because she truly felt no one else had the capability to stand against Trion like she could for she was a true Child of Trion.
She knew Rowan had endless growth potential, but she wanted to seize it for herself. It was the only way she could truly rise again after losing her Core to Trion, what was left in the body of Augustus could be barely called a shadow of Lamia, before she could reach her previous strength, it could take millions of years, far too late… by then, the universe would be….
Even in her insanity Lamia still shuddered when she remembered the brief flash she had seen of the plans of Trion, and her panic was swept below the surface before arising again. She needed to consume Rowan Kuranes!
