Flying through the clouds, she spotted the palace and dove down seeing the palace get bigger and bigger before landing slowly putting her feet back on the nearly charred ground and put both of the gods down before putting her hands behind her back and calmly walked into the palace leaving the bat rulers a little bit concerned for her well being, they didn't know of they should have followed her or just walk in and leave her alone, she was a mysterious person to understand by the most but something just told them to go after her, but they also felt like they should give her time to cool down before she puts them 6 ft under the grounds surface. They shared worried glances before Zatz finally spoke "we should go after her" and his father felt the same and followed his son back into the large palace following behind char marks shaped like claws on the floor leading them into a unfamiliar room on the second floor, it's large doors reminded them of the doors to lord mictlans throne room, on the cieling it revealed slightly carved incantations and a large dragon in the middle, the doors were also in carved with a large dragon in crafted with a familiar golden marble
(Something like this)

Zatz slowly peeked through the door seeing the dark room filled with soft shifting shadows, rolling around on the floor and on the other side of the room revealed the familiar dark purple oni, standing Infront of two large sculptures of the bone heads looming around a tall sword wielding serpent from the painting from before, the oni huffed and stared at the statues for a while as her hair burned back into a bright purple flame illuminating the shadowed room, Zatz glanced at the charred footprints and looked at the dark figure who stood as still as a statue, he slowly walked into the room feeling his anxiousness rise as he approached the flame filled oni with his father following close behind.
As soon as he stood behind her he could here quiet pained noises from the tall oni as her glowing eyes dimmed as salty tears streamed down her stone cold face as she blankly stared at the sight before her balling up her fists, Zatz wasn't sure what to do, sure she was in a emotional state but what will happen when he tries to help? Will she end up killing him in pure fury and unstable emotions?
