☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- A bandit, restrained from sin by his love for an alien, and an alien, ensuring her existence by keeping this bandit from sin... How surprisingly touching. - It was impossible to tell from the abbot's expression and tone of voice whether he said this sincerely or mockingly. - It is the priest, not the spirit-executioner, who should absolve the sins of mortals and grant them peace, no matter how romantic and utilitarian it may sound. Arselia... - Looking at the green potion, Bruno pondered how to explain it in a way that even someone like her could understand. - She is the human embodiment of forests, mountains, oceans, deserts, and everything else in this world; in other words, Arselia is the earthly incarnation of Anush, appearing to mortals in their most difficult hour. Yes, during the days of fierce resistance to the celestial invasion. Have you two ever heard the story of Trude's lineage? - Seeing from the faces of those present that they had, he continued. - I will not undertake to confirm or deny it; what is important here is that the essence is similar: Arselia's human flesh and blood were created by the will of the world we live in now, with the purpose of saving us from evil. Alas, although the celestials were defeated, the savior of mankind was treacherously betrayed and killed by Akonia, who carried evil within her. Her mortal form dissipated into the wind and returned to where it came from - to the earth and water. Since then, we, Arselia's faithful followers, have been waiting for her return, destroying the otherworldly and bringing her name to people, giving them education, health, and morality.
