A few days after the visit of King Gerald. Another convoy appears from the distance. Bearing the Luminous Crest . The eye represents the all knowing and all seeing God. The Golden Cross represents the Luminous Churches Holy Blessings nor Holy power over the World. The Pure white Base meant that they swore to protect peace , prosperity and purity above all else. The Symbols are engraved on top of the Six pointed star or the Hexagon.
However these crest are different from the common Luminous Church Symbol. The Symbol has another meaning besides as a crest meant for the followers of Luminism. The More intricate the symbols are the higher they rank amongst the Luminous Church. They also serve as Symbols of power amongst the factions within the Church itself.
Although the base of the Luminism faith is the Decree of the Luminous God. They interpret Her Decree in different ways. They are split into Six different factions hence the Six pointed star represents the Six powers within the Luminous Church.
The First star point represents the Holy Emperor. The second point represents the Saint of War . The third star point represents the Saint of Peace. The Fourth star point represents the Saint of Light. The Fifth star point represents the 4 Cardinals . And lastly the Sixth star point represents the 12 Holy Knights.
The Holy Emperors faction is supported by the Saint of War . The Four Cardinals are supported by the 12 Holy Knights. Whilst the Saint of Light and the Saint of Peace do not meddle in politics nor the power struggle within the Luminous Church.
This power balance kept the Six Great Factions within the Luminous Church in check. The Holy Emperor and the Saint of War wanted to return all reforms and believes and scriptures to be based on the Luminous Gods Decree . Mean While the Four Cardinals wanted to put on many bills and reforms forward, making the contents of scriptures and the Luminous believe in the hands of His Holiness the Pope chosen from one of the four Cardinals.
Meaning that on one side they wanted to stay strict in their believes to stay close to their God. While the other wanted to use their position as rights to their Gods Power and will. This divide caused the Luminous Church to receive drawbacks on its reforms and advancements since neither side would ceded their believes.
I wonder , if the Luminous God have descended upon this world and had been guiding the Luminous Church for centuries. And that the Holy Emperor is the spokesmen of the Luminous God wouldn't that mean, the Holy Emperor has the power over the others?
Since he is the spokesmen or representative of their God ?
Its really a mystery to why this power division was created in the first place. Also if the Cardinals went against the Holy Emperors authority . Couldn't he just ask the Luminous God for guidance to resolve the conflict or ask Her to be the judge of their faiths?
Well that's just my personal thought there's no need to think about it to much. What matters is that their are on their way here. By the looks of it those are the carriages bearing the emblem of the Saint of War and the Saint Of Peace.
The Carriages carried several divisions of Holy Knights and priests armed to the teeth with Holy armaments. (" Holy armaments items blessed by holy magic. coated in silver , and made from Magic Alloy ").
As the First division of holy knights set foot on the village. The priests started preaching to the villagers. They have two purpose travelling here, One is to support the Holy Knights in battle and the Second is to spread the words of their God to the common folk.
The Luminism religion has many followers who would give up everything they had known in the past and follow the path chosen for them by the Church. At the same time although anyone can be affiliated with most religions. There is a cost for joining them , at the least they would have to dedicate a portion of their magic power or more commonly known as mana to their prayers.
The prayers will send the mana to their origin of believe , in this case the Luminous God. Then the power will keep accumulating in that one point. Then the Luminous God will give some of her power to her chosen ones as blessings. Since the Luminous Church has existed for a long time , I wouldn't be surprised if the Luminous God had already reached an unprecedented level of power.
Things are getting interesting.
If the Luminous God truly intended to save guard humanity . Then She would need to spend a tremendous amount of mana to create a massive army to act as a shield for humans every where. Unless She's powerful enough to be omnipotent then this is the only option.
Well that's just a guess of mine. There's no way of knowing the truth of the matter unless I heard it directly from Luminous herself. Although most people believed that She is residing in the highest peak of the Holy mountain in the Holy Temple above the Holy Emperors palace.
However for Hundreds of years no one had ever had a glimpse of The Luminous God. Tradition states that only the Holy Emperor and those she deemed worthy are the only ones who is allowed to gaze upon her.
There are no records describing how she looked . What are her powers , or even how she came to being. All they know is what is foretold by the Holy Scriptures. The only existence she has on this world physically are the Holy Decrees made by her hundreds of years prior.
I would love to find out the truth about her sooner or later. But for now lets focus on the problem at hand.
The Carriages open , from within two women stepped out. One wearing pure white armor , the having white cloth covering her body , a white cloth covering her head and a raven black blindfold. A majestic yet pure aura surrounded them. Covering their very being, light radiating from them blinding those who are deemed impure .
They walked towards us in an elegant manner . It is clear these women are the Saint of War and the Saint of Peace.
Lux : " Greetings Saint of War Louise and Saint of Peace Jeanne , Its nice to see you again after all these years ."
Jeanne : " Greetings Sword Master Lux Lich Ares, its been along time since we last met , I hope your doing well , may the Luminous God bless you on your endeavors. "
Louise :" Greetings Sword Master Lux . "
Lux :" Its a long way to get here from the Holy nation , Why don't you two come inside , you must be exhausted after your journey. "
Jeanne :" Yes thank you for your hospitality. "
We stepped inside the house . Father closed the doors and this happens.
The Saint of War Louise jumped at the couch sitting comfortably with her legs hanging from the other end of the small couch . There she started to complain.
Louise :" Uuuuuugh, were finally here !"
Jeanne :" Yes, yes we finally arrived here , thanks for your hard work ."
Louise :" Its so freaking hot in the carriage , it took us forever just to get here through the normal rout, not to mention the bumpy roads, huuuuuuh its so annoying !!! "
Jeanne :" Yes , I was there okay , so just calm down . "
Luna :" Its been ages , Louise , Jeanne ."
Louise :" Waaaaaah , I missed you so much Sister Luna . "
She then proceeded to ran and jumped into mothers embrace, while drowning in tears.
Luna :" Yes I missed you to , but I guess over the years you haven't matured much have you ? "
Louise :" That's not fair , I came all this way just to see you again , and now I'm getting insulted again , its not fair . "
" Who said that I haven't matured yet, look at me I've grown bigger over the last couple of years ." " They 're almost as big as Yours ."
Luna :" You might have grown bigger but your still a child inside . "
Louise :" Hmmmmmmmph . "
She pouted , Her face turned red and puffed up like a red balloon.
Jeanne :" Its been ages Big sister Luna , how are you ."
Luna :" I'm fine , I have a wonderful peaceful life just like I wanted to . "
" Although the peaceful part is missing ."
Jeanne :" Don't worry we came here to help you fix this problem ."
Louise :" Yeah , that's right ." "So which Bastard do we have to take down . "
Luna :" Didn't you read the letter I sent you ? "
Louise :" Owwww, so that was your letter the bird sent to me ." " I thought it was a letter sent by a deranged fan of mine . So I burned it and Cooked the Bird ." " Silly me , teheee. "
Luna :" Huuuh , I knew you were an idiot , yet you still haven't learned anything in the past few years ."
Louise :" Sorry , I won't do it again ."
What is this situation , First dad was able to get all chummy with the King of Lind. Now Mom is casually talking with the Two of the three Saints of the Luminous Church. She even smacked the Saint of War in the Head , what the heck is happening ?
