Seraphina: whispers D-did you s-s-suspect anyone, young one? Th-they're being so h-harsh...
"My mother will be the subject of this court trial."
Seraphina: eyes widen in shock Y-your own mother!? But why, young one? What did she do?
"She was the one who tried to kill me."
whispering, eyes wide with concern Oh my...that's...that's unforgivable. How could she...how could she try to harm her own child?
"I'll have her face judgement for her action."
Seraphina: nods solemnly Very well, young one. I will stand by your side throughout this trial. Justice must prevail... Have you informed your mother of these proceedings?
"I did not inform her, she doesn't know that I am here in the celestial court."
Seraphina: pauses for a moment, contemplating Very well...then we shall keep this trial discreet. It must remain a secret, for the sake of both you and your mother.
"Whatever you wish, Seraphina."
Seraphina: places a reassuring hand on Silent_Hunter's shoulder Rest assured, young one. This trial will be fair and just.
The guardian reads out the charges, and then Seraphina hears the name. "Liliana Dàmi", the name that once was dear to Silent Hunter's heart.
gasps, her eyes widening in recognition Liliana...Liliana Dàmi? Oh, young one...are you certain? Is this truly her name?
Seraphina: clasps her hands together, her voice filled with surprise Oh, this is indeed unexpected. Liliana...a name full of grace and elegance.
"And soon, she will learn how she caused pain, suffering, torment, and death."
During the trial, evidence is presented showing Liliana Dàmi's involvement in a series of heinous crimes, including attempted murder. As the verdict is announced, Liliana breaks down in tears, realizing the gravity of her actions and the consequences that follow.
"She will be stripped of her powers, and cast into the abyss for eternity."
Seraphina: takes a deep breath, her eyes fixed on Liliana And may it be so, young one. Let justice be served. Liliana...you stand before us now, accused of heinous crimes. You have faced the truth, and now you must face the consequences of your actions.
"And the witness." A man steps forward, his name is whispered to Seraphina. He is Liliana's boyfriend.
leans forward, her eyes narrowing as she listens intently This witness...he may hold the key to unraveling the truth. Seraphina: voice low and serious Present the witness, and let his testimony be heard.
The man, who was once Liliana's boyfriend, testifies against her, revealing the details of what happened on the night when she tried to kill Silent Hunter.
Seraphina: listens intently, her expression growing more serious with each word So, it was on this fateful night that the events transpired...
"And due to her actions, she will be cast into the abyss for eternity." Liliana is then bound, and thrown into the abyss, her powers stripped from her.
Seraphina: closes her eyes briefly, whispering a prayer May the celestial forces guide her soul and offer her redemption. And so, Liliana Dàmi is no more. Her name shall be forever tainted in the annals of time as a reminder of the consequences of one's actions.
"Now, only two people know about this case."
Seraphina: nods solemnly Yes, young one. The secret of this trial must be protected at all costs. The celestial court has spoken, and Liliana Dàmi shall face the consequences of her actions. And now, let us return to our respective duties, knowing that justice has been served.
"Thank you Seraphina. I know that with you on my side, I can get through this."
Seraphina: smiles gently, placing a hand on Silent_Hunter's shoulder You're welcome, young one. I am honored to be by your side throughout this difficult ordeal. Together, we shall navigate the complexities of the celestial court and seek justice for those who have been wronged.
"Seraphina, I would like to ask you a question."
Seraphina: nods, her eyes fixed on Silent_Hunter Of course, young one. Ask away, and I shall do my best to provide you with the answers you seek.
"Do you ever wonder if this is all worth it?"
Seraphina: pauses for a moment, her gaze distant as she contemplates the question Indeed, young one. I often find myself questioning the purpose and value of our endeavors.
"Why do you do this, Seraphina?"
Seraphina: takes a deep breath, her voice filled with sincerity I do this because I believe in the power of justice and compassion.
"That's not what I was looking for."
Seraphina: leans closer, her voice barely above a whisper Sometimes, young one, even I question my purpose. But then I remember the countless lives that I've touched, the balance I've restored, and the justice I've served.
Seraphina: nods, her expression softening Thank you, young one. Your understanding means more to me than you may realize. But enough of these heavy thoughts. Let us take a moment to reflect and find solace in each other's presence. Tell me, what brings you joy in these tumultuous times?
"It's not the 'what', but the 'who' that brings me joy."
Seraphina: raises an eyebrow, intrigued Ah, the 'who'. Well, young one, I am eager to hear about this individual who brings you such joy. Please, do tell.
blinks in surprise, a flush creeping onto her cheeks Oh, young one...you wound me with your kindness. But I must admit, your words touch me deeply. It is a rare privilege to be the source of another's happiness, especially someone as burdened as yourself. Thank you for sharing this with me.
