Estressa looked around. "Ah, the Tower of Mana," she said, in a nostalgic tone "When was the last time I came here?" She didn't bother trying that hard to remember, though no doubt she could. She never truly forgot anything. All she remembered was that the library here was one she hadn't looked all the way through. There were actually books here she had never read before... Most likely, also ones that she had written as well.
Estressa began looking through the books in the library. "Read it, read it, read it, fiction, fiction, stupidity... How'd these get in here anyway?" she casually said as she glanced at the titles. And then, "Ooh... Here's a new one." She began reaching for it... And then she heard a very loud crash. Followed by a whirring sound. "What is that?!" she cried, annoyed at the interruption.
Was someone outside? Estressa walked to the front door and looked outside, prepared to smite whoever was out there with a bolt of blood-colored lightning for interrupting... She didn't even pay attention to the whirring sound yet.

"Don't try to fix it!" Estressa cried, but it was too late. She buried her face in her palm as the blonde ditz tried to fix whatever the device was, and probably would make it worse. Yes, Estressa had already judged the girl as a ditz... Her quick judgements were rarely wrong however.
After the green light went on, the whirring noise sped up to an annoying hum, interrupting the lightning spell Estressa had been about to send to put a crater in the ground the girl was standing in. A faint light came into existence as well. "What's going on?!" Estressa exclaimed, surprised. The light intensified. It was a turquoise color, that enveloped the entire tower, lighting up the night sky.
Estressa stared up, amazed "What is this...?" She hadn't brought that device herself, and didn't know what it was. The turquoise-colored light looked like it was brightest at the top of the tower, but she couldn't quite tell from here
Estressa looked back at the girl, and noticed something interesting. "A Cruxis Crystal?!" Estressa exclaimed. "Girl, where did you get that?!" Was this... The Chosen? She clearly still had her soul, and it wasn't Alicia. Estressa got an incredibly evil grin on her face. If this was the Chosen... Then she could be useful. Estressa decided that she should try to lure the girl to join her. Even if it wasn't the Chosen, anyone with a Cruxis Crystal that still had a soul was definitely a person of interest.
Estressa seemed to become kind now, "Are you alright little girl? I'm Estressa, who are you?" If she could lure in this girl to trust her, then it would be a very, very good thing.

Meant to happen? Estressa barely managed to hold in a scoff. Of course it was meant to happen. The odds of a device causing the entire Tower of Mana to glow without being meant to were ridiculously low. Then, the clumsy ditz managed to turn it off by tripping.
Actually, though Estressa had been surprised to see the tower glow like that, she had been looking forward to whatever might happen. Oh well, she had memorized the lever positions with a glance already, she could always start it up again later.
More important was this girl at the moment. "So, your name is Collette." Estressa repeated back. It wasn't really a question. Estressa then said, "Who could give you such a thing? Cruxis Crystals are incredibly difficult to get ahold of..." Not precisely rare. Every single member of Cruxis' army of angels had one. However, they were almost all owned by Cruxis... Or Estressa. She wondered when the girl would notice her Cruxis Crystal too. She finished with a question, "Collette, I'm curious... Are you perhaps the one known as the Chosen of Mana?"

"I see..." Estressa said, when the girl answered that she indeed was the Chosen. This was perfect! If Estressa could get the Chosen of Mana on her side, Mithos would most likely be infuriated. And she would be the perfect test subject! Estressa wasn't one of the Seraphim, so she wasn't high enough rank to know quite everything. She didn't actually know if the Chosen was innately different from other humans, or if she was chosen randomly. If the Chosen was innately different...
Estressa's thoughts returned to reality when the girl asked if she had seen someone. She scoffed, "I would be rather surprised if I saw a boy that didn't have hair. Saying that he has hair isn't much. Regardless, I haven't seen anyone else in this tower at all."
Estressa began thinking about the device that Colette had activated. The light that had appeared had been brighter at the top, where the seal was... She asked the girl, "Collette, do you think you could help me with something? I think that this device here makes the seal react to it somehow. I wish to find out exactly what it does." Estressa smiled warmly, though the warmth was false. (Or rather, could be compared with a small amount of hellfire, pretending to be warmth and not pure evil) "As the Chosen, would you like to find out more about the Seals?"
