... How harsh, how harsh. Is this a grudge of sorts that you would have...? Though, I suppose I cannot blame you if that is the case.

And just what kind of magic were you capable of once before?

... To think that the Gods would strip another of their powers. What frightening power. But, what is to be done? There is little choice but to play their game.

[her expression drops a bit at that] Perhaps it would be more fitting to compare the Gods to a witch, hmm?

That's right.

There are no games that are more cruel and merciless as one hosted by a witch.

Indeed not.

And yet, magic is seemingly limitless.

With that said, it is not too farfetched to say that one may have god like powers with magic, right...?

And the reason you would have some doubt in my words?

... A good point. That is indeed true.

Hoh. ... Do forgive me. Although you have introduced yourself to me, I have yet to do the same. [ a giggle ]

I am Beatrice.

Emeric.

Have you been in this place for long?

That is fortunate, and yet also unfortunate.
