"We were brought here to be sacrificed," Zenis said.

"Sacrifices?" Billy furrowed his eyebrows when he asked in confusion.

"That is right, nothing is given for free. Have you ever heard of that?" Zenis asked. "I don't remember well since my mind is all foggy, but there is a saying on Earth that there is nothing more expensive than something that is given for free."

"That is because when people give free stuff, they are gaining other things behind the scenes like information," Billy said.

"That is right, things are a bit different for us, but it is basically the same," Zenis replied. "We were given a second chance, something rare to happen while we keep our memories. All of that is necessary for the sacrificies to use their powers well, become stronger and enact change in this world. That change will improve the level of mana in the world and ultimately, become its final defense."
