"She's still alive?" Tria had to ask because it has been almost a century. Priestesses were not known to live that long unless they transcended to godhood but that was impossible because they could not cultivate any power.
"Well, it was because of what I did, which at the time was a good thing but now I can only blame myself...I decelerated the rate of her aging so we could spend a long time together and maybe to hopefully find a way for her to live longer....it was a selfish move that I made..I..I..-
"Don't blame yourself. You are now awake, and you know she is still alive. She is probably waiting for you right now to come and rescue her. Get your full strength back and draw up a plan, I'm sure you'll succeed," Tria reassured.
"Hm. You're right," he said resolutely.
Crei had just been sitting and listening in, although it did show on his face, he had many thoughts running through his mind.
"What more do you know of the Eye?" he asked Hoth.
"I killed all the ones that were alive back then, however, he created them like rain falling down the sky. Although they might seem human with a conscience, it's all fake. They are unreasonable beings with narrow minds, if they do not get what they want, they are wired to simply kill themselves instead of turning back empty-handed," Hoth explained.
Tria had a sudden realization, "so that's why those men killed themselves back in the Earth Land. They wanted me to join me, and then kill me, and kept on coming up with weird reason to take my life. In the end, they killed themselves when it was not going their way."
"Yes...however their leader is not a puppet. If I remember correctly, it was a woman back then. That viper had tried on many instances to separate me and her...I should have killed her sooner because we ended up being apart anyways."
"The current Master is a man, and he is the one who had been trying to get into your caves, and he is currently planning to ambush us at Ubdi Lake and try to take me away," said Tria.
"How did he even find out about these locations?" wondered Tria out loud.
"..."
"Ah...sorry," Tria understood it must have been because Hoth's lover was probably tortured for that information.
'Then won't they find out that you've awoken?" asked Tria.
"He knows I never died, so it won't make that much a difference. He does not see me as a threat," answered Hoth shrugging, "anyways, what do you want to do?"
Tria had to think about it. That was a lot of information in one day, and none of this information was transferred to her when she awakened as a priestess. Unless the first chosen priestess had decided to omit all of that, but why? The previous priestesses were literally sheeps being offered up on a plate.
How are such weak beings supposed to fight against such powerful Gods, that can even create a whole land and armies of people? That can't be all of it, therefore she needed some time to go through all the rooms in the Golden Temple to find something to fight off against a God. However, not now.
"First, let's raid their hideout. They want to mess around, so we'll play with them. "
"Sounds like fun, just me will be enough. I need to shake off some emotions,' said Hoth as he got up and walked outside.
Crei watched him leave as he also got up while also helping Tria.
"Is everything alright?" asked Tria, Crei had a cold look in his eyes.
"I'm alright wifey," he smiled at her as his eyes went back normal.
"Hm...let's follow along then, he took off but he doesn't even know where the hideout is," said Tria as she laughed.
"Hot-headed," added Crei.
"Ahem!"
Hoth had come back because he realized he did not know where he was going and had no choice but to come back.
Crei and Tria looked at each other and they broke into laughter, lightening up everyone's mood.
