So there were two children Despair had hidden from Ixion!
Just what did Ixion know about one of his closest companions in life?
'Now, now… how many more layers of this onion were there to cut through?'
Ixion could feel as Dia's face contorted into a mix of disdain, remorse, and rage.
Therefore, this sister was seemingly a sore topic for her.
Before Dia could even spit out her rebuttal, Despair was gone, replaced by the thrall.
"What a pitiful excuse for a father you are…"
Dia's body went limp, letting the chains contain her in an almost praying motion.
'Now, Dia, what's this I hear about a sister?'
The tortured beauty didn't even move. Her head tilted down, her eyes closed. Her body had shut down.
'I see… In that case, I'll be off. And, sadly, my visits may be sparse or nonexistent. Can't let Despair know, after all. But, trust, I will come back to free you — or at least try.'
With that, Ixion left Dia's body.
