Ice ran through Veronica's veins.
In the past few years, she had noticed that her mother had become increasingly more distracted.
When she was not spending her time on meditation, the Oblivion Empress conferred with her minions and made other preparations in secret.
Veronica had tried to poke around and discover what her mother was up to, but none of her attempts yielded any useful information.
The incarnation eventually gave up. The disparity in knowledge and power was far too great. Veronica had no chance of prying her mother's secrets. This caused her to give up her search and simply trust that Cynthia Larkinson would not do anything to imperil everyone.
She had completely misjudged her mother!
Coming back alive was not enough for the Oblivion Empress!
Ascending to the rank of True God and taking over the Nyxian Gap did not sate her ambitions!
