The days were never ending within the confines of Las Noches. The sun was pervasive and it ensured that there was no real notion or understanding of the passage of time. All underneath the dome was before Kouhai's domain, and in the passing months of Lagos' ascension to the Noveno Espada, she had been isolated. Hidden away in her chambers, performing any number of experimentations. Her ties with the other Espada had been nonexistent to say the least, as she was consumed with her research.
The creation and development of Hollows and Arrancar.
Lagos had come to realize that the Arrancar in general were a loosely organized and largely autonomous group of beings that served under Kouhai under the meritocracy of strength and power. Largely each of those Espada beneath him were largely driven by their own ambitions, motives, goals, and personalities. They had little camaraderie with one another, and it became largely clear that the servants beneath them were equally diverse. There was no consolidated structure of order here. Power was all.
One could say that loyalty didn't truly exist. For even amongst the Fraccion that Lagos had ascertained, there were many that sought to overpower her and take her position. Every day; there were those that sought to challenge her or her position as the lowest rank Espada besides Cain. Though based on what she understood, all those that challenged Cain were never heard from or seen again. Disturbing. Absolutely disturbing. Worse than that, the Exequias dogs hid within her walls and seemed to study. Observe with every passing moment with a morbid fascination.
Lagos found that taking in Hollows from around herself, nurturing them to become future Arrancar? It was akin to adopting a child, or at times, indoctrinating upon a pet. Or conquesting a people. There were some Hollows of which were endeared by the prospect of compansionship or protection. Others admiring her strength and desiring to be alongside her. To grow to newer heights of evolution still. What Lagos had found though was that this method was slow. Unreliable. Lagos still did it from time to time, yes, but she'd found herself with a new method. A power that very few could boast; if any within the confines of Las Noches.
Lagos Oscuras held the potential to hasten the process of Hollowfication. Refine it, and subsequently turn even human beings into Hollows. Or at times; turn them into Arrancar. A topic that she'd kept most secret. Something that most Espada may find incredibly interesting. For there may be very few in Las Noches alive that understood to the same extent the intricacies of reirokyu manipulation, its channelings, and the hollowfication process more than her. A valuable asset to Las Noches indeed.
Outside of Lagos chambers, there were twin marble doors, heavy, and inscribed with the visage of a great fox looking upon its outlookers. Two Arrancar underlings of hers resting before it as they stand before the brightly lit halls. She very rarely got cordial visitors, and she was largely an enigma to her peers. Perhaps it might be time to change the visage. Though; it may be important to note that rumors of her powers were in circulation and abilities have circulated within recent times; especially at Espada meetings as the nature of her power was implicated.
And it was also true that she once nearly defeated the Septima Espada, granted not for their position.
