Lackey frowned the moment those words left Amara's lips. A faint chill crawled beneath his skin... It was something his stepfather used to say in his previous life whenever he talked about power and the ugly nature of control.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Celestia asked quietly as her eyes followed Amara, who slowly stepped deeper into the cavern.
Amara stopped before the portal. The golden-white glow danced across her face, making her calm expression appear strangely sinister.
"It means... Divide and Rule," she answered with a small nod.
"This so-called Trial is nothing but a game forced upon us so the gods can keep humanity fractured forever... As long as people remain divided, they remain easy to control."
"And this war between us and Terra?" she continued.
"It's merely another 'Check' in that game."
