'The longer Apollo was subject to Saehtyn's aura

the more dreadful it felt. Slowly

his feet indented the floor as the pressure bearing down on him amplified. In response

Saehtyn silently inspected Apollo's reaction to his aura.'

'At first

the reaction was subpar. However

as the matters of his soul were laid bare

Saehtyn rubbed his chin in thought

"So that's what it is. Although you were initially weak

you're even weaker due to the route you took here. Whatever object of chaos you used is inferior."'

'As Apollo tried to lift his neck

his bones creaked

"Yes

this was all done on a whim. It wasn't my intent to come here. I'm well aware of how weak I am in the grand scheme of things

" he answered. Finally

after much effort

he was able to raise his head and look Saehtyn in his eyes.'

'"Now

by all means

answer my question. What is Azridan's last name?" Saehtyn pressed on.'

'With a deep exhale

Apollo spoke the demon tongue

"T'hkrain."'
