Scarlet sighed, looking upon her frozen mother, “I really didn’t want to have to do this, you know…I knew it’d be up to me to stop you. No one else can seem to.” She paused for a moment, sighing again. “Unlike that temper you have, this is only temporary. You should defrost in a year or two, depending on how well I’ve built this,” she said, giving her ray gun a pat. 

“Well, as much as I’m enjoying the silence, I’ve gotta run. There’s a cute damsel I’ve got to check up on and I have to recruit someone to help me. See you in a couple of years, mother.” And with that, Scarlet went off running towards the home of the Lady in the Lake.

It had taken her several years of preparation, but Scarlet was finally ready to confront her mother. With the help of her new ice ray, she froze the door barring her escape from the sun palace and smashed it into pieces. She had already memorized her mother’s weekly schedule, so she knew exactly where Phyra would be. Scarlet was able to find her within minutes of her escape. “Hello, mother,” she said with an icy glare.

Phyra looked more angry than surprised. “Scarlet! How did you get out of the palace?”

“It was pretty easy once I finally got this baby in my hands!”

“I hope you’re not honestly thinking about shooting me with that ridiculous contraption.”

I’m experimenting with Noodles’ glossy eyes right now. It’s a great collection of default replacements, two-tones, and easy-to-use heterochromia. I highly recommend it!

I’m not completely sold on the red for the Iristra twins just yet, but I’m going to give it some time. Worst case, I might have to give them their old red eyes back even though they’ll look out of place with everyone else’s new eyes.

Eloise may have hid away from her troubles, but Scarlet wasn’t ready to end the fight. Her anger towards what had happened fueled her determination to set things right. Whenever Phyra was away tending to her duties, Scarlet was secretly searching for a way to force the hot-blooded Sun Godess to finally simmer down.

Eloise locked herself in her room and refused to come out. She did not want her friends to see her face, she did not want her parents to look upon her in sorrow, and she did not want to visit the realms where she was viewed as a horrible monstrosity. The years passed by and the world pushed on without her.

The Lady of the Lake was summoned to help heal Eloise’s pain. The swim to through the canals to the Underworld was not easy for her, but she endured it so that she could aid the sweet girl his son had told her so much about.

“She is resting now…I have done what I can,” she said, closing Eloise’s bedroom door behind her. “One of her eyes was severely damaged, but it should still be functional. The burns on her face should heal nicely due to the way they were inflicted, but she is going to be left with permanent scars. I am sorry.”

While Phyra and Scarlet fought, it was the Reaper who had found Eloise hunched over in agony on the ground. He was saddened to see his daughter in such a state. However, at the same time, it was something he had seen countless times before. Death was no stranger to terrible pain and suffering. The Reaper slowly picked Eloise up as gently as he could and opened a portal home.

“You can’t keep me locked up here forever! You need to let me go! I need to go help her!” Scarlet said, seething. “You should know better than anyone that I’m not going to rest until I find a way out.”

“You can certainly try. You have all of eternity to make an effort, after all,”  Phyra replied nonchalantly.

“Uuuugh!”

“Calm down, it was only–what was it the human called it? A slushie?" 

"Huh?”

“Well, it was a blessed slushie. I was pleasantly surprised when turned out to be just as good as holy water. You wouldn’t believe what I had to go through to get it.“

“What did I do to be cursed with a mother who is beyond psychotic?”

“You bite your tongue!”

Phyra threw the contents of the cup at Eloise’s face. After a moment of shock, Eloise let out a blood-curdling scream. “Mother! What have you done?” Scarlet cried.

“Shut up! We’re going home! Don’t touch her unless you want some too!” Phyra yelled, grabbing Scarlet roughly by the arm.

Tears were streaming down Scarlet’s face, “I can’t just leave her here like this!”

“Oh, but you will!”
