illyana says after looking at the wasteland of limbo before turning to zhuras with a confident smirk
How did all of this happen, one might ask, the story starts when illyana was extremely ill, she didnt know how or what but it wasn't a medical issue, it was a sorcery thing so when zhuras decided join her so he could keep her a company she dragged them both into Limbo, illyana illness got lifted from her immediately so she figures that there's something in limbo that made her ill and weak, she tries to open a portal to send zhuras back home to earth but.. she couldn't all of her sorcery was drained so basically she was just a normal strong girl instead of a strong sorcerer, she can adapt she have to find what stoped her magic energy since she gets her sorcery from limbo, while at the same time not let zhuras get overwhelmed especially since its his first time here, illyana knows that limbo is scary so she acts more confident than usual, it fits her personality though
she tries to act like being in limbo isn't the worst thing ever and acts casual by looking up at zhuras and complimenting their height which was really random but still thats who she is sometimes
"Hey, did you get taller big boy."
