Dimensional Descent

Anselma was finding it harder and harder to control her emotions. They were quickly spiraling out of control.

She knew at this point that it was her bloodline influencing her the most. The madness of the Brazinger family was something that was well documented, and she knew well of the trouble it could bring. But these people were making it very hard.

"Our three families are very unhappy with you, is the bottom line, Anselma. Because of you, we threw away our own experts-"

"How was I supposed to know that he was so powerful?! Did I not go and risk myself as well?!"

"And that's the only reason we haven't turned on you. It's obvious to us all that you were manipulated. At worst, that man was a variable we all had to take into account, but the only person he truly threatened was King. What's the difference between one King or one Velasco ruling over our heads? Is it not the same?

"It's only because your man feared for his life that he sent us down to deal with him, and look at the result.

"Four of our best experts are heavily injured and we lost two of the best protectors humanity had on top of that when we could have made due with just the loss of one."

Nothing more, nothing less. Even if it means sacrificing the rest of the Human Race to do so, we must survive.

"Now this entire situation is spiraling out of control and you're at the center of it.

"None of us know why that young man is so powerful, but what we do know is that you've made him our enemy not because of a logical decision, but because you shared a bed with the wrong person. You put us in this compromised position, and you need to remember that before you go around trying to show off your strength everywhere you go."
