Arabel closed her eyes and fell into thought as they watched her.

Then, opening her eyes, she spoke only to Nemo, so that Lina would not hear her words.:

"Do you want to know if Lina is really Izzy's mother?"

Nemo's surprised reaction told Lina that they were communicating without the help of magic. This discovery, of course, did not please her, and she frowned.

"And how?" asked Nemo.

"Well..." Arabel began, and told Nemo about an artifact called the Threads of One Blood.

"But..." After hearing the details about the artifact, Nemo still had some doubts.

He thought about it:

"Will the artifact be able to correctly identify Izzy's parents? After all, Izzy's case was unique, and she wasn't born in the usual way."

"Okay, let's try," Nemo did not hesitate for a long time and agreed.

"Okay, wait a bit," Arabel said, leaving the guest room. She teleported first to Idan to retrieve the artifact from his spatial ring, and then appeared in the living room of her house, where the others were already waiting.

"Big sister," — Arabel said to Sierra, who was cradling Izzy.

"Oh, are you done?" asked Sierra, looking away from Izzy.

"Not yet," Arabel shook her head. "But we need baby Izzy, so come with me."

Sierra, aware of Arabel's intentions, stood up with a smile and, holding Izzy, followed her.

Lina felt alarmed again when she saw Sierra enter the guest room after Arabel. However, when she looked at the baby in Sierra's arms, all her wariness disappeared, and all her attention turned to Izzy.

Lina couldn't explain why, but she felt a strange attraction to this child. She couldn't take her eyes off her and couldn't even blink.

Suddenly, she felt a warm tear roll down her cheek. Wiping it with her hand, she realized that for some reason she was crying and couldn't stop the flow.

"Huh? Why am I crying?" she asked herself.

Lina's reaction did not escape the attention of Arabel and the others. They looked at each other, and the same thought popped into their heads: maybe Lina was Izzy's mother.

To confirm her suspicions, Arabel took out the "Threads of One Blood" artifact and approached Sierra. Cradling Izzy in her arms, Sierra carefully pricked the girl's finger and squeezed out just one drop of blood. She did it so gently and carefully that Izzy didn't even cry.

All four eyes turned to the artifact in Arabel's hands. When the drop of blood fell on the stone, the red stone shone, and red threads appeared from it. One of them, the thickest and pulsating red, rushed towards Nemo. And right in front of everyone's eyes, a second similar thread rushed towards Lina.

"After all, she really turned out to be Izzy's mother.", — Sierra, Arabel, and Nemo flashed through their minds.

Then another red thread appeared, slightly thinner than Nemo and Lina's, and rushed towards the place where Idan was.

"It's probably Rizzy," — Arabel suggested, and Nemo and Sierra nodded in agreement. Only Lina was at a loss.

After the third thread, a fourth appeared, but it was already very thin.

The fourth was followed by the fifth.

Sierra and Arabel almost laughed as they looked at the fourth and fifth red thread. They remembered Idan's words that Nemo might have a third daughter by a Dragon.

However, there was no evidence yet.

"Big Sister, who do you think these two threads belong to?" asked Arabel.

"How should I know?" Sierra shrugged her shoulders. "But if we assume based on your description of the artifact, then these two strands probably belong to Izzy's close relatives, perhaps her siblings."

Nemo stared blankly at the two strands.

Lina, who had been crying just now, was now looking at them with undisguised malice. She couldn't help but hear Sierra's words and quickly realized who these threads belonged to.

"Damn bloodsucker and lizard!" she cursed to herself.

But when her gaze landed on Izzy again, her heart softened.

"This little girl… She's..." Lina didn't know how to address Sierra properly. She was still afraid of her.

Sierra, having heard Lina's words, without hesitation, went up to her and handed the baby to Izzy.

"I never imagined that I would meet our baby's mother so soon," Sierra said with a smile, which surprised Lina very much. She felt this legendary Valkyrie's deep affection for her avatar's daughter... no, her daughter.

Worried, Lina held out her slightly trembling hands to Izzy.

As soon as Izzy was in her arms, Lina couldn't hold back the tears.

She realized that it was the memory of her own avatar that was influencing her emotions. And, realizing this, she did not resist and suppress them, completely surrendering to them.

Sierra handed Izzy over and no longer worried about her safety, nodded to Arabel and Nemo, and silently left the room, leaving them.

"Nemo, how would you feel if I chose Lina as my champion?" Arabel asked Nemo, addressing him through a mental link.

Nemo turned sharply to Arabel, but did not immediately respond. He thought about it, looking at Lina, who was alternately crying and smiling, holding Izzy in her arms.

"I don't mind if Lina herself doesn't mind," Nemo replied.

"Lina," — Arabel called. "Show me your left hand."

Lina, tearing her gaze away from Izzy and following Arabel's instructions, raised her left hand and noticed a luminous clock pattern.

"About a little over six hours," Arabel remarked, estimating Lina's remaining time.

"What is it? And what happens after these six hours are up?" asked Nemo, ahead of Lina.

"As soon as she runs out of time, she will be thrown out of this place not far from where you were when Dan and I came to your rescue," Arabel explained.

Lina and Nemo were both worried. Lina hugged Izzy tighter, not wanting to leave her daughter.

Nemo also raised his left hand, but did not find a similar pattern.

"No need to look, Nemo, you don't have one," Arabel said. "Since you're Dan's champion, you don't have any restrictions on staying here."

"Does this mean that if Lina becomes a champion like me, she won't have any restrictions either?" Nemo asked with slight excitement.

It was amazing for Arabel to see Nemo have so many emotions at once. He's usually indifferent.

"And not only that," Arabel smiled. "If Lina becomes a champion, then she will have a connection with you, and I am more than sure that with this connection she will be able to get into Limbo."
