Region: Dreams of Good Hope
"Ah, well, would you like me to take you to the Palace?"

(Harmony should also have a pet foxcat, I think. Didn't she get one from Ameli back in Tyramon?)
Vara was concerned when Erwin left. She had hoped to have him help. But, she nodded and followed Harmony into her room.
Vara found a place to sit and took several deep breaths as she thought of how to start.
"You...you were right. Erwin and I are still in...some form of relationship. Romantic relationship, I suppose. I'm not sure on the exact details of what our status is, but suffice to say that...well...I was lying before. It is...something that I am...not accustomed to. But, regardless...when I realized that you had...some form of feelings for me, I...well...as a friend I did feel a bit sorry for you. I suppose I thought...well...I wanted you to like me and trust me more, and I thought that a romantic angle might be an easy way to do that. It often was for me in the past. Clearly that all backfired, of course."
She looked down.
"Sorry, I'm...I'm not very good at this, at apologizing. Usually I try to cover up any mistakes, often by just killing the witnesses, but...times have changed, and I am struggling to adapt."

"Hmmm...very well, I shall lend you some assistance. Wait here a moment."
He disappeared, and after a few minutes returned with a small brown puppy. He handed it to Alena.
"Here is our most powerful weapon. It has only been tested somewhat, but it should be able to warn you about Delegata's presence and possibly Iblion's presence. Maybe. It is also a very powerful in terms of magic, and at the very least should provide a good distraction for you to escape."

(Haha this reminded me of that line from iron man.)
"N-no! That's not what I meant! We just...uh..."
The Royal Guards stepped closer.
"Lady Nelly, you should not harm him, not without orders from the Royal Emperor."

Ameli sighed.
"Fine, I'll...if you let me go, I'll try to talk to them and convince them to stop fighting, okay? I don't want there to be war, but I don't trust you enough to tell them to surrender to you. If you want peace, truly want peace, you'll let me do that."

(Eh let's just see how it plays out. Though I do think that if they are sent to some high-security place, odds are it will do very, very little. Probably only infect a handful of people.)
(Does astral adamantium need to hit the core orb thing of a celestial to stop them, or just any part of their form? And what would Tyramon know about that?)
