"The reason is that fate has deemed it that you four would be the key to their master's defeat."
"Huh?!"
The door opened up and a woman wearing white priestly robes walked in, trailed by a knight who was clearly at a loss on how to handle her.
"Apologies for coming in uninvited, but I had no choice given the severity of the situation."
She bowed lightly towards the Count who only nodded before dismissing the knight and then offering her a seat on one of the sofas.
"So…who are you and what's all this talk about fate?"
"My name is Sakaala, and I am the head priestess of this city's branch of the Church of Fire.
A pleasure to make your acquaintance, otherworlders."
The woman introduced herself as the religious leader of this city, enlightening the quartet a bit about the religious beliefs of this world.
"Church of Fire? And who is the being whom this Church worships?"
"One of the Ten benevolent gods, the god of fire."
