Lagos disdained Hollows. Yes, she saw them as one might view a wild animal, or perhaps how someone might view a caveman. She saw them as lesser, and yet, understood that with the proper investments, they could turn into Arrancar. Arrancar, of which she viewed were the pinnacle of Hollow evolution, a natural product. The Shinigami wished to cull the Hollows, viewed them as unnatural, and or a danger to the cycle of soul circulation. However, she had to question them then on this particular matter.
If Hollows were a danger, then why did souls naturally turn into them? For what reason did Hollows exist if not to be part of the natural cycle? Hollows, as far as she understood had existed ever since the beginning of the concept of death, and in a sense, the creation of Arrancar was an ascendance from wild animalistic depravity to a higher elevated status of position. In a sense, there was no need for Shinigami to cull Hollows, for they would cull out one another, and in the end condense into what they were now. A handful of superior beings that towered above the others.
Lagos' only regret she supposed was how she had broken her mask early, to follow Shikihitsuko-Sama into the ranks of the Arrancar before she was fully ready, before she was a Vasto Lorde. Instead, she was a powerful Adjuchas. She had given her everything. Her being, her loyalty, her faith, her devotion, her hopes, and her very existence to the man, and she had lost it all. She had in the end, even lost him. When she returned, she couldn't believe the news. She couldn't believe that Shikihitsuko was gone.
It killed a part of her, but it also made her angry. It enraged her. It fueled her. It made her wish to obliterate the world underneath her bootheel as the Kyuubi no Yoko. It made her desire for the end of everything, as was fitting of her authority of Rapture. The end of all things was her desire and ability, and with it, she found it an incredible test of patience perhaps that she would linger before the Menos Forest. She looked upon them, from the lowliest of Menos Grande, to the Adjuchas, to the other lowly entities hiding inbetween the iron spiked trees and endless desert sands.
"Mongrels. Disgusting ingrates..." She'd note, and with it, her spiritual pressure would act as a gravity. She would increase the pressure to incredible degrees, to the point where all the Hollows in the immediate vicinity could sense her existence. The pressure was so intense, that lesser Hollows would explode almost immediately, their masks crushed by the burden of her weight, to act as food for the others, ones with higher potential. To this, she had no regrets. Hollows were common. They were made and born every day, and the Menos Forest was no place for the weak.
Perhaps a place for the cunning, and the clever, but certainly not the weak. Her long silvery hair blows lightly in the breeze as her cold cerulean eyes look on with a lack of empathy for these lesser beings. Her mask was adorned upon her head, akin to a helmet, painted blue along its head with yellow ears. If one asked why she was here, the answer was simple. To kill the weak and guide the strong to feast upon their flesh in a consummation, a bondage, and to find those that would be worthy of calling forth as devout followers in the belief of Arrancar supremacy. Only then could she find that modicum of inner peace.
