Far away, in the hills, inside the castle-like Grand Sanctum, a gold energy glowed in the teleportation chamber. The base activated and two figures came out, Kalher and Seraph.
The priests and knights wore golden and white robes with elaborate masks that covered their faces as they kneeled before them. "Welcome back, God," they said in unison.
Kalher was full of anger, his red eyes burning as he walked past them without a word. Seraph followed, just as calm as usual, the exact opposite of Kalher's anger.
Kalher rushed through the magnificent halls till he reached the infirmary. He threw the doors open wide and found Illythia sitting on the edge of a bed, bandaged all over. Her pale white skin was dappled with bruises and cuts, and her pink eyes opened a little when she saw him.
