It had never been part of my plan to care about human business.
I had always believed that searching for the Goddess was the Hero's role. That was why I had always drawn a line in my involvement on that side. Well...that and to avoid my husband's jealousy. I was so careful and deliberately did not meet the templars because I felt like I would get dragged along if I did.
I mean...Valmeier's father was the last priest to receive the Goddess' voice, after all.
But the universe had a way to make a story. Was this how fate made me join the Hero's party? Who knows.
Naturally, this decision wasn't welcomed well--especially from the demon still kneeling in front of me.

"How else can I find the Goddess?"
Natha's jaw clenched and he asked in a quiet, low voice. "Is this how you punish me?"
