The group of followers, having obtained the permission of the council, left the palace grounds and returned to the library. The guardian, welcoming them warmly, noted the blessing of the council and understood that their quest had been recognized as legitimate.
With palpable anticipation, Alice, Arion, Lucie and the other followers sat around a table in a quiet corner of the library. The "Book of Origins" lay before them, ready to reveal the secrets buried for millennia.
With care, Alice opened the old book, her fingers following the lines of text delicately drawn. The yellowed pages revealed an ancient script, but strangely, the words seemed to light up with a soft glow as they were read.
The story in the "Book of Origins" revealed the ancient history of the kingdom, dating back 300,000 years. The once prosperous city had been threatened by a devastating invasion of an army of red monsters. The situation seemed hopeless, with the city about to be engulfed by this evil force.
It was then that a goddess named Arkia manifested herself, emerging from the heavens with divine power. She was a protector, a guardian of the kingdom, who had responded to the desperate prayers of the inhabitants. Arkia, endowed with heavenly powers, bravely faced the army of red monsters, pushing them away with divine force.
The story described the epic battles that shook the kingdom, with Arkia guiding the city's forces to victory. However, the goddess paid a high price for her bravery. Her divine energies were exhausted, and she sacrificed herself to seal the red monsters in a parallel dimension forever, thus preserving peace in the kingdom.
The inhabitants, grateful to Arkia, erected shrines in his honor and worshipped the goddess as the protector of their city. Its history was passed down from generation to generation, becoming the very fabric of the identity of the kingdom.
Alice, moved by this revelation, looked at Arion with bright eyes of understanding. The quest for truth led to the discovery of the origin of the kingdom and the understanding of the crucial role played by the goddess Arkia.
Lucie, the mystical cat, purred softly, as if sharing the solemnity of that moment. The other followers listened carefully, absorbing the teachings of the "Book of Origins".
The group of followers, taking with them the ancestral wisdom of the "Book of Origins", left the animated library. The streets of the city stretched before them, filled with the daily activity of the inhabitants.
Guided by the search for rest after their long journey, Alice, Arion, Lucie and the other followers headed for the hostel district. The city, although full of mysteries, also offered comfort and hospitality to those seeking shelter.
They found a welcoming inn, whose front was adorned with a carved wooden sign. Inside, the atmosphere was warm, with flickering candles lighting up the wooden tables and muffled laughter floating in the air.
The group asked for rooms to rest, and the innkeeper, a jovial man with a gray beard, greeted them with a benevolent smile. The rooms were modest but comfortable, offering a welcome refuge after the many discoveries of the day.
As they moved into their rooms, Alice could not help but reflect on the diversity of divinities that could exist in this kingdom. The story of Arkia, the goddess who had saved the city, intertwined with the possibility of other divine entities still unknown.
Arion, seated beside her, shared her thoughts. "The search for truth leads us to infinite horizons. Each deity has its own history, its own teachings. We must remain open to discovery because the truth can manifest itself in many ways. '
Lucie, the mystical cat, rubbed herself against their legs, as if he approved of Arion's words. The group shared a light meal in the common room of the inn, exchanging reflections on the deities and mysteries they might encounter during their quest.
After the meal, they retired to their rooms to rest, each carrying the weight of the day and the excitement for what remained to be discovered. The stars glittered above the city, testifying to the infinite mysteries that resided in the universe.
