Seeing the opposition that she would have to face, Izkemina hurls LJ towards the door at a high rate of speed.

Foolish creature! You would be well advised to stay out of my way! She draws a gleaming sword without losing her grip on LJ.
This is about that boy isn't it? The golem with the strange tattoos. The one who was compromised by the goddess. My agents told me that you were...'involved' with him. You'll get over it. I am certainly distressed at your appalling taste in men, but it's what I should have expected from you. How I could ever have ended up with such a trying child is a mystery to me. The boy is not important. You will come with me.
If you were half as committed to the cause of good as you were to these dissolute drunken creatures, we wouldn't be in this mess. I cannot stand by and watch you fritter away your time any longer. You must give up these attachments. You will come back with me to the celestial realms. It is the only way I can be certain you will not compromise yourself further.
Do you have any idea of the sacrifices that were made to contain the goddess of dangerous knowledge? Well, do you? Mother, I... Of course, I doubt you care. All that mattered to you was your own comfort. If you had been more committed to the process, more righteous, than she would have been properly bound in the first place. Well, it's not like anyone ever asked me if I wanted to - Want? What does want have to do with anything where the greater good is concerned? I had such high hopes for you. But, as always, you are determined to fail. And now she stands on the brink of gaining back everything. All because of you! I had no choice! There was no other way, and she hasn't won yet. We can still - No choice! There is always a choice, daughter. You chose to put the lives of some insignificant mortals you have formed some sort of unhealthy attachment to to come before the greater good. This is not acceptable.
By the heavens, girl, what are you wearing? You look like you just stepped out of a brothel. Then again, discretion was never your strong suit.
