[Emperor Belos receives Lilith as Luz watches through a keyhole in the throne room doors]

Yes, but we were...
Unsuccessful. That was obvious enough. It's been a little over a month since you promised to bring me the Owl Lady. Well, where is she?

I'm getting bored of your excuses, Lilith. Don't worry, I'll give you the time you need. Bring the Owl Lady to me by twilight. She'll join the Emperor's Coven, and in return, I'll heal her little curse. But if you fail... [claws at his throne's armrest; the giant heart above the throne beats faster and more frantically] You will be stripped of your rank and banished from my coven. You do know what happens to covenless witches, don't you?
[Lilith fearfully eyes the murals next to the throne, knowing she is down to her last chance]
[stands] I...I understand. I will not fail. [she leaves]
