"No thank you." Byakuren responded, politely, but sternly as well, without taking her eyes off the giant serpent that was now speaking before her and everyone else in the colosseum.
"Though I myself did not see the murder of the Pope take place, I did see the murderer speak with 'Dione'" The Orochi, Thems, hissed, spouting the name almost as venemously as the very acid that dripped from her maw. "The person that she spoke with may have looked identicle to the one here being condemned, but there were several diffrences, several very noticable diffrences. She was slightly taller than the real deal, her voice sounded a tad bit gruffer, and, most importantly, her scent wasn't human in the slightest. She smelled far more like the creature up there in that box than any ordinary human... I know the young master's scent very well, and that thing that I saw that night didn't smell like her at all, or like any human being"
At this, Trajan turned to look back at Discord, then down at Thems. Was what the snake said the truth? But as he thought over this, the church officials had regained her composure.
" BLASPHAMY!" The archbishop fired back, rage and anger in his voice. "Why should we believe the word of a serpent over that of God's chosen creation? Like our earliest ancestors were decieved by the snake in the garden that was the Devil, is it not that you are likewise decieving us and sending us down the path to damnation?!" He roared, his voice going higher and higher.
Thems seemed to recoil at this. What she was saying, what she knew to be true, was being blasted apart by religious dogma by corrupted zealots. But what she failed to notice, and something that everyone but Lamia faield to notice as well, was a light suddenly appearing far off in the distance, from the direction of the great forest, one that seemed to be coming near very quickly...

All hail the glory that is Tenshi, the Sunkern!
