To my surprise, Selthia molded the giant pool of water into what looked like a giant sea serpent. For a moment, I was in awe and felt a bit proud after seeing the sight, but when I looked at Selthia, I realized that she had tears streaming down her face.
"You trusted me," she cried. "You wanted me to protect everyone, but I failed. I couldn't defeat that witch. If it wasn't for Khalissi, everyone would've died."
So this was what was eating away at her.
Her first defeat. She lost against Persephone, and it lowered her morale.
This was even more reason why she needed my help. She could stumble, but she wasn't allowed to fall. The problem was her inferiority complex and her need to prove herself. That was what was holding her back but I will correct it.
