Even seeing from afar I could already bear the identity of the two people coming toward me, their Auras and their mounts were giving away who they were.
I made the others wait for our guests to arrive, they could only be Priests or Servants of the Demon Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Life.
When they got close to me and got off their mounts something strange happened, the one who had an Aura of death around stepped on the grass causing it to die while the one next to her stepped on the grass making flowers grow.
This very different view next to each other was confusing my mind, but even so, I approached them.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Zenos.” (I)
“Nice to meet you, I’m a new High Priest of the Church of Death, my name is Henry.” (Henrique)
“Hello, I’m the High Priestess of the Temple of Life, my name is Yaramaki, but you can call me Yara.” (Yara)
After I introduce myself the two reveal their faces as they lower the hood.
The one called Henry was a completely white Skeleton with gray Runes etched into the bones, he had a gray light inside his eyes and was very polite when speaking.
The one next door called Yara was a teenager, she had light pink skin, white hair, 3 side by side horns curved upwards like it was some kind of tiara, her ears were longer than the Elves’, but they were down to her take off the hood, so the ears jiggle a little before they stick up, it even reminded me of a Rabbit’s ears.
Henrique didn’t have a spectral body like Ivan, I can’t tell if he didn’t want to show us his face of how much he was alive or if he didn’t have the spectral body ability.
Yara seems to be very lively and smiling, she looks like an innocent girl, but her bright eyes reveal the wisdom that comes with age.
“It seems that by my luck I got to the two of you.” (I)
“That’s not luck, our Goddesses warned the moment we should leave to find you here.” (Yara)
“I believe you understand why we are here, correct sir Zenos?” (Henrique)
“Yes, but you two already know why you were sent here?” (I)
“I still can’t hear the voice of My Goddess clearly, but I understood that I should come here, maybe give me more details so I can try to fit in with the rest of my Goddess’s message to help understand better.” (Henrique)
“I know why I’m here, my Goddess has appeared in my dreams, she’s already given me all the information, I’m very excited about the plan I heard.” (Yara)
“As expected of Mistress Yaramaki, able to understand the will of the Gods and meet them in their dreams.” (Henrique)
“Do you two know each other?” (I)
“Lady Yaramaki was the one who raised me and was by my side for centuries of my life, don’t be fooled by her looks, she is older…” (Henrique)
“Naughty boy, I can pass up calling me ma’am, but I told you never to call me old!” (Yara)
“…” (I)
“I’ve heard that people from the Religions of Life and Death are weird, now I know why.” (Athena)
Before Henry finished his sentence, his skull flew away and got stuck in a tree five meters away, I didn’t even see High Priestess Yaramaki’s movements.
“Forward, a little more, now stretch your hands, a little to the right…” (Henrique)
Henrique’s headless body starts walking following his instructions until it reaches the tree where his skull was stuck, so he takes the skull and puts it in place.
“I apologize for showing such childish behavior.” (Henrique)
“You must be more serious in your duty Henry, should we now talk here or go elsewhere?” (Yara)
Sigh
“(Why do I only meet strange people?)” (I)
———–
I stop where we are to talk to Henrique and let him know the plan, after that we mounted our mounts and headed towards the center of this land of death, the capital where my companions are.
On the way Henry was silent, he seemed to be thinking about something, he was probably trying to understand the message of his Goddess through what she said to him.
Yara was talking animatedly with Ragnar and me, her good mood and joy are contagious, but after what Henrique said I wonder how old she must be, I’m also curious about her strength since I wasn’t able to see her movements at that moment when Henry lost his mind. 𝐞𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
It took us 3 days to get to the Capital, along the way we didn’t find almost any undead, I also didn’t find any of the Dungeons I had seen the last time.
It seems that these 2 months I was away were enough for the first part of the plan to go well, the only thing that confused me was the undead we will send, they didn’t try to attack us.
I also noticed that something was different about the miasma in the surroundings, the miasma had not diminished, but it felt less oppressive somehow.
When we finally arrived in the capital Hela and Lilith were already waiting for us at the city gates, as soon as they saw me, Lilith ran to me jumping into my arms.
“Father, father, father, father….” (Lilith)
“Let’s go, so I can’t get into the city.” (I)
Lilith continued acting like a child hugging me while calling me Father several times, it took a while for her to calm down, she sat behind me while riding Ragnar to hug me until we reached the tower where the others were.
,m When I arrived everyone was training there, the surroundings were very different, and the entire area of ??the temples had been restored and cleaned.
“MASTER!!!!” (Ibuki)
People were going in and out of the tower, as I approached Ibuki screamed from somewhere and before I knew it something attacked me from the side, she had come from my shadow and ripped me from Lilith’s arms.
Before I realized what was happening I felt another person pulling me, before I was surrounded by a crowd, everyone was talking about different things, but I wasn’t able to understand so many people at the same time.
“Master!” (Orion)
I was soon rescued by Orion who bit my clothes to pull me up away from these excited people.
“Why all this madness all of a sudden?” (I)
