Uphemia originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but felt the oppressive gaze of the black-robed Wizard beside her.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she pitifully pulled a strand of hair from her head, biting her lip.
When the hair touched the Celestial Ball Crystal, the magic power fluctuations throughout the room became chaotic.
The nebula within the crystal began to coalesce into specific symbolic images, each exuding a disturbing aura.
"The first symbol..." Chloe's voice became ethereal like a dream:
"A delicate porcelain doll, locked in a luxurious cage.
The doll's eyes hold no life, only hollow obedience.
The cage's owner comes to admire this collection every day, but never thinks of giving it true freedom..."
In the depths of the crystal, a blurry image began to emerge.
It was a person dressed in an ornate gown, trapped in a canary cage.
The doll's face was identical to Uphemia's, but the eyes had no shine of a soul.
