Vixy's heart was shaken when she heard the name Kael had bestowed on the new Primordial and her future replacement.
She felt like a stone was lodged between her chest and throat. Like she was forcing herself not to cry, even though she didn't even feel like crying.
Memories flooded her mind and brought her to scenes and events of the past. She was reminded of that day, that fateful day when N'bayé asked her to choose between her life partner and herself.
She still remembered the clear look of shock on Ivan's face after she chose him to be sacrificed. She saw him be picked up by N'bayé and tossed to Kael who devoured him.
This was something that was known by almost no one besides Kael and his consorts.
So when Kael named the newborn Primordial Fox, Ivana, most of the creatures didn't know and couldn't tell that it was related to Vixy.
What was worse, Vixy was named the advisor and mentor for Ivana. Basically, Kael was just turning her into a nanny for the Primordial Fox.
