Apexion's vision shifted, and he started to see the world from Lyra's perspective.
From the moment Lyra could walk, she had to endure extreme torture at the hands of the first prince, whether punches, kicks, clipping of wings—you name it, her life was terrible, and it got even worse when she reached maturity.
She was forced to endure terrible things and do terrible things.
On one fateful day, she awakened an innate ability, one pertaining to blood [blood burn]. This ability allowed her to increase her strength by burning the very blood within her body.
But she knew that even with this innate ability, she wouldn't be able to defeat her tormentor.
She wouldn't be able to enact the same suffering they enacted on her upon them a hundredfold, at least not yet, for the royal family had over fifteen Emberians equal to emperor rank experts, and she was just a small veteran rank equivalent.
