THE PERFECT MIRAGE

"MAMA BOSS, did you say you and Queen Tara lost to the Abyss because it took the Cosmic Tree's form?" Neoma asked while stirring the tea that her mother brewed and served to her. "Mama Boss and the queen were young and inexperienced back then, right?"

"That's right," Mama Boss said while nodding. "Tara and I hadn't come of age yet when we tried to cleanse the Abyss. We utterly lost."

"I see~"

Her mother glared at Neoma playfully. "Baby Muffin, you want to tease me, don't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mama Boss~"

"Trevor told me to trust you when I tried to stop your "children" from going to the Abyss," Mama Boss said. "He said you wouldn't send the kids there if you knew they couldn't handle it. Hence, it's fair to assume that you know how to beat the Abyss."

"To be honest, I sent my "children" there hoping that the Abyss would take my form."
