After Arty had said her goodbyes to her family and friends, went down the path and gone straight into town to get more supplies and necessities needed, she looked around after doing that to make sure she didn't miss anything or might need something else.
As she walked and looked around, her eyes sharp to take in everything in her sight, before she stopped a little when she saw a grand statue that is in front of some kind of church by her right side.
The marble white statue depicted itself of a woman in holy robes but she was hooded and her face was blankly black. This statue woman also holds a staff in one hand and a sword in the other.
Arty instantly knew what or who this statue is. For it is the statue of the Trinity Goddess. The holy religious figure in the world of Eden of her story.
In the story, it is the Trinity Goddess who created all beings both good and evil, light and dark, and everything in between. She is also the one who had created the world of Eden and all of its places as those living in it know it.
This goddess bears many powers of the Eden world, which is not only the four elements, which are fire, water, air, and earth--but also the three greatest ones that are light, dark, and the shadows.
The Trinity Goddess has no name, only those who worship her closely or was chosen as a favored one by her or those who were cursed by her would know the true name of the goddess.
She holds many answers to all beings of the Eden world but also bears many secrets and mysteries to herself. She is also known among the people and her worshippers that she is a blessed and beloved guiding light. Others have known or say that she is the harbinger of darkness and a merciless destroyer. But there are many who have said that she is the judge and executioner of life and death, and she chooses those who will become her true favored or the damned cursed ones under her very will.
About everything you know or do not know of the Trinity Goddess, she is also the one who created the Fiery Blade and had enchanted it to choose its chosen wielder and become her favored one if deemed worthy by going through her trials.
Arteria wasn't that surprised by discovering that she's the favored of the Trinity Goddess, also known as the Grey Goddess.
She knew all along since she created her main character that way and the fact that she made it that the wielders of the Fiery Blade are the favored ones of the goddess since she was the one who created the mystical weapon.
But there is one unpredictable detail in the story she knows that she won't be able to figure out when she goes on the journey and goes through the goddess' trials. And that would be the Trinity Goddess herself. Even though she is the writer and creator of that holy character, she hasn't written much about her, except that she is some sort of neutral kind of goddess that you couldn't even know or expect to see whether this goddess is really good or evil or she is both.
Though Arty wanted to know more and understand, she knew that she'll have to learn and discover more about the Trinity Goddess to pass the obstacles and trials laid out for her to get to the magical weapon.
Hopefully, when the time comes for her to meet the goddess however that would be, Arty would be seeing in her good side, because she's nervous that when she faces her, the goddess might not be in a good mood towards her, even though she's the future chosen wielder of the Fiery Blade of the story.
So to do that, Arty will have to learn more and decided to get into the church and pay her respects, so that she'll gain more knowledge about the goddess of the Eden world and her story.
She went to enter the church and do what she needs to do obtain more information and knowledge about the goddess before she sets off, leaving the town, and going on her journey to find the magic blade.
Arty knew that going through the Trials of the Goddess is going to be difficult, but she's determined to see it through and fight on so that she'll be able to take the role as the heroine of the story and find a way back to her real home in the modern real world.
