A thick fog, swirling around in an intricate pattern.
Hidden deep beneath the swirling fog, lies a pearl.
A bright white light, its glow agog.
The fog around it, thick and deep,
A shroud that masks the pearl from view.
Doubts and fears, in sorrow it sleeps,
Its lustrous sheen, hidden from the few.
But still it glows, steadfast,
The pearl, bright and pure,
a symbol of hope and strength,
yet the fog, dense and heavy,
casts shadows of doubt and fear.
Amidst the swirling mist,
the pearl remains unseen,
buried deep within the sorrows,
of the person it represents.
"Such beautiful soul…" A beautiful soothing voice resounds. "Such intricate patterns… aah, I can only imagine what she would look like under all that fog…" The owner of the voice walks up to the glass wall to look deeper into what has gotten her so… in heat.
"I want it, I want her… but I suppose I'll have to wait… I can't wait enough for the time of your return, my dear…" And the beautiful woman walks back to her throne, and continues watching over the city she owns.

I kinda forgot to add the details of the magic that ended up turning Mia's arm to goo, so I'll just do it here lol. Yes, it's canon.
This goes back in time a little.

"This… looks awfully familiar…" Ryuu says as she sits by Mia's bedside.
Syr, who was taking care of the sleeping Mia's wound, perks up.
"What do you mean?" She asks.
"From what she described earlier while healing, she said that her arm suddenly exploded when the guy who did it to her finished casting." She says, reminiscing the earlier happenings.
Mia was brought to the hospital of I AM GANESHA to stop her bleeding. But even that only did a little because of her high magic resistance that was working against the healing throughout the process of her healing.
"And the healer also said that her Resistance is rejecting the healing magic… only one thing comes to my mind when I think about it…"
Syr was listening carefully, "And that thing is?" She urges Ryuu to continue.
"One of Evilus' cursed grimoires…" She closes her eyes, remembering the time she lost a dear friend to the spell as they fought for revenge.
She opens them again to continue, "It's a spell that destroys a random part of the target's body from the inside out. Its power heavily depends on the strength of the target and the user. I would know, I almost died to it multiple times after all." Then she whispers, "And was saved by the same person all the time."
Syr opens her mouth only to close it again and just nods, urging Ryuu to either continue or not.
"What makes it worse is that… the effects and contents of the grimoire does not disappear and could be used two or three more times… thankfully the user wouldn't be able to use it again, unless you cast it with another person." She closes her eyes again, hiding her grief.
"I would know. I had to use it as well after all…" She continues, eyes still closed. "And I discovered it, through the death of a dear friend…" she added in her mind.
"I…" Syr held a pained expression, her eyes fixated on the figure of the elf in front of her, eyes still closed.
"I'll replace the water, I'll be right back…" She simply decided to leave, to give the elf some space.
"Akune…" Ryuu mutters.

Yes, it's an OC. Yes, I came up with this on the spot. Yes, there's no space for this in my plans. Yes, I'm thinking of it now. Yes, I don't regret it. Haha!
