Yarin's POV:
Sisley explained that he had traveled to many places during his journey: Africa, East Asia, and Northern Europe. Many ancient packs that revered the swallow as a totem had long since passed away, and their descendants had been assimilated into society, their ancestral beliefs mostly lost.
"In South Asia, I visited a pack's district where the ancestors of its residents were once Europeans. During the witch hunt, they were labeled heretics by extremist factions and were forced to leave, scattering across the world. Their belief was in the Swallow Goddess, said to be one of the incarnations of the Goddess of Nature."
"The Goddess of Nature? Are they related to the elves?"
"Yes, one of their ancestors had married an elf, and he led his family to follow the nature faith. As a result, their descendants began to believe in the Swallow Goddess."
