Rania and Elliot were at a loss of what to feel or think at that moment. They could only look at each other and ponder on everything that just happened.

"That woman… could she be… Vindicta?" Rania mumbled. "Her hair had a dark tinge of red if I'm not mistaken. But she's supposed to be in Gaia. Could it be a part of her spirit or a clone?"

"It's highly possible. Or maybe she's the embodiment of the curse," Elliot answered her. "And that black hole she created, it's a timeless dimension. It means… Avarus will have to suffer there for eternity with the Curse of Hatred torturing him like that. Unless someone frees him. But seeing that the woman followed her, she's probably gonna make sure that he stays there forever."
