"Ahh, Elias Ashdown. How have you been?" Priest Mathias asked as Elias approached the castle gates
"Priest Mathias," Elias greeted, "I'm doing okay," He replied
Priest Mathias looked Elias from head to toe, "I can't explain it, but you look…brighter than usual today" He said
Elias averted his gaze, "Haaa, Do I now?" He chuckled nervously
"Why didn't you come in? Why wait outside the castle?" Elias asked
To that question, Priest Mathias looked like wanted to speak but he held his tongue, " About that, when we get to the temple, the High-luminary herself will explain to you," He said
Elias was suspicious at Priest Mathias' reaction, 'Now that I notice, where are his acolytes? Nigel, Dickson, and Anias? Is something going on in the castle that I'm not aware of?' he pondered
"Is that so?"
"Yes, it is, chosen child. Shall we get going?" Priest Mathias asked
