章節 58: Chapter 58: A Terrible Precedent

That wasn't good. Couldn't be good. "Did Daphne cut you off?"

Lilith hissed. "I don't know," she said. "I fear that's the case as the power of Life has yet to return to the realm. But the truth is, I don't know. And that is unacceptable." Lilith quivered, her serpent body rippling. "I need your help, Eve. To find Daphne."

I was a bit busy. Being a coward. "You heard about the Furies?" She must have.

Lilith sighed, head butted me with her blunt muzzle. "I did," she said. "I'm so sorry for the trouble Isis has brought you. For so long I watched her manipulate and control those around her, saw her frustration when she couldn't reach you. But it wasn't until I realized-until we all discovered-you were Chaos I understood that frustration. She wanted your power for her own, Eve. And she couldn't have it unless you gave it to her."

Which I would never do. "Do you wish I'd left her as Life?" Maybe Mom would have backed off if I hadn't stripped her of her position.
