Plot
Months have passed, Esa's pregnancy showing as she and Sariel remained together. Dawn unfortunately was not showing much joy; Khepu kept trying to kill her unborn half-sibling, and Triton had ideas to end Sariel's life. She kept visiting the hideout, making sure they were protected (even though she was reluctant to protect Sariel; the only reason she wanted to protect him was so he could support Esa and the baby).

However, as Esa reached the final stages of pregnancy, the redhead could not help but notice Sariel placing some supplies in a hidden spot where Esa could not see. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the supplies were packed in a suitcase, allowing her to infer that he wanted to move away. But why was there only one?

Later on, Dawn discovered about Sariel's curse; when he left Savantia and Khepu, the former placed a spell on him so that any child of his would be born a monstrous creature. Worried for her mother's baby, Dawn kept visiting her, noticing Sariel becoming more distant from his lover.

Finally, Dawn noticed Sariel sneaking out of the hideout in the middle of the night when she came in and brought supplies for Esa. She caught him, the angel finally revealing the truth: he never truly loved Esa, only having used her as a 'tool for pleasure.' He also certainly did not want a child with her, saying everything he did for her was an act so she would not be prone to suspicion.

Dawn was furious at him, now understanding Savantia's rage. She threatened to have him slayed if he even dared to leave her mother, to which Sariel mocked that she 'couldn't hurt a fly.' In rage but not wanting to cause anything too horrid, she stormed off, Sariel feeling like he proved his point.
