After temporarily parting with her companions, Erika made her way to Aphrodite church. Upon getting there, however, she instantly regretted her decision. The place rested empty with not a nun in sight, even the children who used to play in the backyard were nowhere to be seen. The blood offering to the devil had truly killed the church with little hope of it recovering to its former glory.
'Dust and silence, is that all that's left here?' The goddess of bounty was long dead, and now it appears that her church was dead as well. Yet the bounty of Athenia flourishes still, and so in honor of the dead goddess, Erika got to her knees and prayed to her idol. 'May our trees bore sweet fruits, may our crops be plenty, our men honorable and our women flowing with bounty.'
"She's dead, Erika." Appearing in her misty form beside her, Asmodia folded her arms while looking at Aphrodite's idol.
