"I am Corey, I make silly mistakes that even 10-year-olds would not. There, I said it, Happy? But you're the great Wyatt, the perfect being, I cannot believe you made a mistake," Corey rambled, to which Wyatt expressionlessly asked, "What's your point?"

"Even you make mistakes, so don't make fun of others when they make mistakes," Corey replied, only to hear Wyatt laugh out loud and taunt her, "What's the matter? You, can't handle a little criticism. Then don't make silly mistakes."

"Besides, you seem to be under a misconception. I can tolerate mistakes and even praise you if you learn from your mistakes but what I cannot tolerate is silly mistakes and the idiots repeating the same silly mistakes. I hope you get this through that thickhead of yours before you start your whining next time," Wyatt's words stuck Corey's little head like nails on a wooden board. Her eyes turned red and she teared up, trying hard not to cry but she began to wail hearing Dredre speak for her, "Wyatt, stop. She is about to cry."

Corey wept inconsolably but neither Susan nor Park came to comfort her as they did not think Wyatt's criticism was harsh enough to force her to cry. However, Dredre flew next to Corey, and patting her head she said, "There, there, good girls don't cry."

Corey's wailing paused for a moment when Dredre patted her head to comfort her and then listening to her she cried even harder. Seeing even her affectionate touch and words were not enough to comfort Corey, Dredre frowned trying to think of a way to cheer Corey. Her frown only deepened after recalling what could cheer Corey up. However, seeing Corey's snot-filled nose and tear-stained cheeks she did not want to do it but listening to Corey cry inconsolably her eyes grew resolute and she said, "Corey if you stop crying and be a good girl, I will kiss you on the cheek."

"R-really," Corey rubbed the tears off her eyes and cheek and stutteringly asked to confirm. Dredre nodded and kissed Corey on her salty cheek. But Corey did not stop crying so she kissed her tear-stained cheek again. Yet, Corey continued to cry. Feeling tricked, Dredre asked, "Corey, I have kissed you twice why are you still crying?"

"I don't know," Corey blurted and continued to cry aloud.

Confused, Wyatt looked at Park and asked, "What's the matter with her?"

"You need to create that custom mental skill card for her as soon as possible," Park informed Wyatt that Corey needed the mental skill card that he promised to create for her.

"I thought the elixir I gave her and Little Baem had suppressed the darkness in her t.i.tled demon core," Wyatt had forgotten about the custom mental skill card Park asked for Corey believing that with Little Baem's help, Corey might no longer need it.

"External means are all temporary measures. Her current unstable mood is the side effect of that. She has become less aggressive and irritable but the Darkness seems to have found new ways to surface in her. Until she, herself, becomes capable enough to control the darkness, it will continue to plague her for the remainder of her life," Park explained to Wyatt with a grave expression.

"I will send you a list of ingredients, get them and I will create the card. Until then why don't you go find Little Beam, I guess she too should be bored patrolling the city outskirts and should be missing Corey," Wyatt then turned to Dredre who was still trying her best to console Corey like a big sister, and said, "Dredre, Park will handle her. You and Susan focus on preparations to welcome your forest's spirit."

Seeing Dredre was reluctant to leave crying Corey's side, Wyatt persuaded her again, "Dredre, Corey is fine. there is some issue with her t.i.tled demon core, Park will handle it."

"Yes, Dredre. Everything is fine, she will be back to her normal self to bicker with you in no time," Park also a.s.sured Dredre.

With Susan and Dredre heading to the forest, before preparing to leave the seed world with crying Corey to find little Beam, Park informed Wyatt, "I wanted to talk about reestablishing my old army with you. Can you make some time for me to discuss that?"

"Sure, let us talk now," Wyatt has been waiting for Park to bring this topic up with him. So he immediately made time for her, following the words better now than later.

Park pointed at Corey with her eyes, implying that she could not talk about it now as she had to deal with Corey's inconsolable crying. Noticing Park's actions, Corey spoke her mind while crying, "I will go cry in that corner you guys discuss here."

Knowing how important reestablishing her old army was to Park, wiping Corey prepared to excuse herself to a corner afar from the two so that her wiping did not disturb them. But before she could leave Park rendered her unconscious saying, "Since you are in no hurry, you might as well go to sleep than cry in a corner alone."

Then possessing the unconscious Corey's body, Park locked eyes with Wyatt and spoke, "Then shall we proceed."

Listening to Corey speak in Park's voice, Wyatt divulged, "No, I can't take you seriously with that face."

"How about now?" As Park said, an amber flame covered teenage Corey's body from head to toe soon it died revealing a grown-up and shapely Corey in her mid or late twenties. It was Park but in a body of flesh and bones instead of one made with flames.

"This will do but do you have to be so flashy? Besides, she doesn't like you possessing her body," Wyatt said shaking his head.

"Awe, you do care for her," Park uttered, learning that Wyatt not only remembered Corey did not like Park possessing her body but he cared enough to bring it up with her.

"How does this count as caring for her?" fl.u.s.tered, Wyatt asked.

"Relax, don't get worked up. It is a good thing that the neglected child has one more person who cares about her. If it makes you feel any better she also cares for you," Park had a playful grin on her lips seeing Wyatt being shy about his friend/

foe dynamic with Corey.

"Neglected child?" Wyatt asked Park raising his brows. After all, it was no secret to anyone in Sky Blossom City that Corey was the precious jewel of the Bright family how did she become a neglected child— "I take it you are talking about her absent parents."

"Yes," Park rolled her eyes at Wyatt and then continued, "Anyways, now that I know you care for the child. It makes it easier for me to ask your help with reestablishing my old army."

"Before, you continue. Now that you are back in touch with the dark realm, do you know about the Undead Devil Agony?" Wyatt asked Park because if she had no idea about Agony by now then the level of difficulty to re-establish Park's old army has increased by several folds.Her inability to grasp the news about what happened after her death means Wyatt might have overestimated her.

"I have. Because of her, it was very hard for me to prove my ident.i.ty to my allies. If you are worried about that then don't I have handled it," Park greeted her teeth in rage. How could she not be angry after learning what Belphegor did to her body after her death? Controlling her rage, she asked Wyatt, "How did you come to know of her?"

"You should ask Little Beam for details. Together, we subdued her during the Southern Capital incident," Wyatt sighed in relief as he did not overestimate Park and thought that her legends in Dark Realm might have some truth to them.

"I was planning to do that," speaking of Little Baem, Park's expression became complicated. It seems she was aware of Little Baem's part in the creation of Agony.

"I take it, you got that handled too?" Wyatt asked Park, wondering how she planned to handle Little Baem. A lot of her allies have fallen or switched teams because of Little Baem's silent support for Agony. It wasn't a surprise that those who managed to survive all that were still willing to stand for Park. But they will demand an explanation for Little Baem's actions.

"Don't worry, I will handle it even if it means revealing my existence to little Baem," Park said with firm eyes but Wyatt could not help but point out, "Won't that put Corey's life in danger?"

"No, my existence is only possible because of Corey if she dies I die too. So Little Baem will not hurt her. Besides, technically I am not the real Corey Park, I am just an ego flame. Corey Bright is the real Corey Park," Park explained. However, Wyatt thought he should inform Field Marshal Heatsend to watch over Corey when she confronts Little Baem. After all, Little Baem has patiently waited for the real Corey Park's return while preserving her old body for almost a millennium. With that kind of persistence, who knows what little Baem is capable of.
