A fortress in which the residents had no hope for escape. If they were released, it was due to forces beyond their control. Their very lives were in the hand of those who oversaw the prison. That was what Balgon Prison was for most people of Clover, and understandably so. After all, the worst of the worst were kept her.[break][break]

But for Verena Nicole Ruhm Reinsberg, it was what kept the monster away from her. It was what gave her some level of peace... some level of serenity. The monster that scared her was no some mana beast, however. It wasn't a daemon or a devil. No, what Balgon kept away from her was her Renfir Reinsberg. It was what separated her father from her.[break][break]

So when the three arrived at the scene, bearing witness to the chaos from the siege, Verena's reaction was, understandably shaken to see the least. Had Renfir escaped? Was he still in there? She had no idea. She could handle violent mages. She could handle murders. She could handle daemons and dark monsters. But Renfir held a special power over her. One that, even if forced dormant, was still...[break][break]

Verena clasped her arm. Even if she knew that she needed to advance further to stop the violent riot, she hesitated, recalling her father's words to her in their "reunion". She supposed he was right after all... [break][break]

Verena thought she had grown past him. That she was becoming stronger. But the reality was that she still held all the power then. She had Ardere with her in case things went wrong. She was shaking just to be in his presence. And then there was the fact that just being near that man seemed to worsen her curse. She needed to be careful for an absurd number of reasons.[break][break]

Verena glanced at the state of the prison. The massive crack that might have as well torn the building asunder and was a clear source of distress for the brunette. While Cyrus and Hania may or may not have already gone on ahead, Verena needed a moment to prepare herself. She couldn't bring herself to tell them that she was afraid, regardless of the context.[break][break]

"Deep breaths," she told herself.[break][break]

Lydia had sent Hania and Verena on this mission, as well as getting someone from Ardere's squad on this. As it was suspected that this was Amon's doing, it was only natural that they'd have someone from Team Ardere with them. However, Hania and Verena were also incredibly competent mages and so it was for the best that they went.[break][break]

But Verena had to wonder...[break][break]

why was she sent here when factoring in who was here?[break][break]

Did Lydia think that Verena was capable of stopping her father or something? She didn't know. In any case, Verena went over her supplies one last time. Though she was here representing the Royal Knights, she still had was wearing the mantle of the Golden Dawn right now. It helped that she was still in the Golden Dawn's headquarters when she got word about this. There was also the ring that been given to her by Hania Ravencrest placed upon her right index finger, and of course...[break][break]

Verena glanced at the mark on her right hand. The compass that had manifested there when the Kikka Reclamation Effort had ended and they had emerged successful. There was still too little she knew about it...[break][break]

"It can't be helped," she muttered under her breath.[break][break]

Even if she was afraid, Verena had no choice but to confront those fears. The brunette didn't have any other choice available to her right now other than to go in and quell the fighting along with the others.

TL;DR Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
