It's after-Deryan rose, as the sun on the middle of the life, Melania and Ming was sparring at Methra as there's no battle event held yet.
Melania's movement becomes more flexible after she stripped off her long dress and wear only she wanted to make her swing smoothly, while Ming use her rifle and her blade to distract and attack.
As they both meet blades, sparks of metals and their attacks are far more beautiful then before. They don't use their cinders and embers, just raw blade fights.
Soon as both of them back of for breath, Melania immediately drop her blade and use her own blade that attached on her arm, it swings on and she holds it with one hand. "I always wanna try this. It's been a while," she said.
"Do Vehra used it too?" Ming said.
"Nahhhhhh, I been warned for using it."
"Reasons?"
"It imitates your sister-in-law," she grinned.
"Fair,"
"And you act as if our brother does it,"
Ming looked at her other hand with a rifle she holds. "Why?" Ming asked.
"If only Max remember who he was,"
"Reasonable answer to know,"
Soon, they circling around, Ming looking at Melania while herself listening Ming's footstep. Ming lunges forward and Melania raise her blade, and as soon Ming make her rifle shots from above, Melania went stunned on the noise, left her guard down. Soon Ming sweep Melania's leg and putting her blade on her neck.
"Yield!" Melania said. "Not fair..."
"Well, you know I always find a reasonable way to dismantle you,"
Ming sheated her blade and help her sister to stand. "Sometimes, I wonder if you found your man,"
Ming didn't answer.
"Ohhhh, you have one?!"
"No..."
"Then tell me do you have one~"
"Not necessary,"
"Don't worry! I will find one for you!"
"Shut up!"
"I have a looooot of man I knew, and I think they're perfect for you,"
And soon, Melania keeps talking while Ming stays ignoring her while going out Methra.
As both of them regroup with their teams, they noticed they're standing. As they inspect, they saw countless armies in front of them.

"Who the fuck are they?" Hennah said. "I'mma blast them,"
As Hennah was about to cast a spell, Jug pulled her. "No,"
"Lemme go, Soft arms!!"
"Don't you know who are they?"
"Pffft, duh, Ertah Otti's 'finest' armies of Manalta. The Xenegha," she said.
As she said it, Ming stunned as she out-heard Hennah. "Who?" Ming ask to confirm.
"Oh, hey Ming! Ertah's arriving!" Hennah said with joyful sound.
Ming's eyes terrified as Ertah is coming for her.
Soon, a black horse approach them, with a Wendigo next to Ertah and the headless knightess.
"Well...well...well. Valirion and Cinder's Petal, finally reforming yourself into one old band of Rosa'," Ertah smile.
A whole of Valirion and Cinder's kneel down with acknowledgement. Except Ming.
"Ahh. You..." Ertah noticed Ming. "Could you tell me your name?"
"Tell him your name, Ming," Melania whispered.
"Why I must?"
"Because it is a must!"
As Ming glare back to Ertah, she hold her words before declaring. "Mingwara Y. Jifu,"
Myke suddenly shook as he heard her name with 'Y.' in the middle. Ying look at him with confusion as well. "She's...and Architect?" Ying whispered.
"I...don't know," Myke shrugs.
"No..." Ertah said. "Your...name,"
"That is my name,"
"No lies," his echoe enters Ming's ear.
She was holding back much more, until she saw her own team looking at her. And she have no choice. Soon her voice suddenly triple.
"Lisa,"
"Mingwara,"
"Elyssa,"
Ying stunned at her name, and she thought it's just her illusion. Soon, her head slightly raised on Ertah, his shard teeth was shown as he smile.
"Elyssa..." he called out, and Ming react with her head starts to strike, and she hold both arms on her head, enduring the sting. "...Elyssa..." She continue to hold back, yet her hair change to white slowly. Her eyes starts tearing as she endure it, not to change of who she was. "....Elyssa."
"KYAAAAAAA!!" Ming soon scream and her hair and eyes changed, her back starts to spikes out and formed her wings, and her voice becomes....divine. Soon, she stands upright, her breath has triple and...calm.
"Ah...Finally, the one I wanna meet with." Ertah satisfied.
"What...the...fuck..." Hennah muttered as she saw Ming...becomes different.
"It's....Her Divine One,"
Ming soon glare at Ertah with stoic look.
"Now, I have something to say for you." Ertah said. "I offer you to be my..."
"No..." Ming's voice trembles the ears of common.
"Still refusing, I see," he amused. "Well then." he look at Hennah. "You saw the giant right?"
"Oh...with that big dick one? Naftha?"
"Mhmm." he agreed. "He'll be here to crush you. All of you...if your friend, did not accept my offer." he loudly said so everyone listened.
"Ming...just accept him," Melania said.
"I won't trust him. Not even my own name," she said. "Also...Don't call me Ming..." she paused. "...yet,"
"Very well. Then, I will let me armies to purge Sela then, alongside with Naftha."
"No!! Wait!!" Ying shout. Ertah stops.
"Why, isn't this the red hair girl. I've seen you before," he squint his eyes.
"Ying...don't get close to him," Ming said.
"But, we need to consider for the people here,"
"Ahh...finally someone who is understand my intention," Ertah said. "Well as you know already, I'm gonna test you all, Rosa', for a challenge."
"Wait...a challenge?"
"Oh yes, my beloved red hair. A challenge. A Death Match." Ertah smirked.
Soon, Ertah leaves alongside with the headless Knight.
"The Purge will begin in 5 minutes. Make your prayer," The Wendigo said before leaving as well.
All of them stand up and look at Ming. "Elyssa?" Myke concerned. "Why?"
"I..."
"You promised not to keep secrets, Ming!" Hennah said.
"I...am just speechless," Tela said.
"Why did you not tell us who you are?"
All the question from them made Ming went silent for a while, lowering her head. Their anger is reasonable for her mistake.
And soon, Myke goes to her and stare at her from the bottom. "'Y.'? You telling me you are the Architect?"
"I..."
"Enough!" Melania shout. "Just please, we settle this part...after those armies come and destroy us all," Melania said.
Valirion and Cinder's Petal goes there, while looking at Ming with disgrace, except Ying, who knew who she was.
"It's okay, Ming." Melania said to her. "We can discussed this after the battle,"
"Likewise...I'm not Ming yet. I'm...Lisa," she said.
"Then...welcome back then," Melania bid.
