☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Well... - Gion hesitated. - Is she the greatest traitor in human history? - He looks questioningly from Kripov to Beata and back, as his theological knowledge was not extensive.
- If the legends are to be believed, then yes, Giyosh... Gion is right, - Beata shrugged. - She is a villain, but... I don't understand one thing. If Arselia is a warrior, a protector, an avatar of Anuzish, a superhuman being, and Akonia is her minion, presumably a mortal, how could she kill the goddess? And why couldn't Arselia's minions kill Akonia, and they had to come up with some kind of wild ritual involving dismemberment and devouring?
- And she had horns... Apparently, not just a simple mortal?
Beata paused before formulating a final answer.
- Akonia is the killer of gods and the source of humanity's curses, that's what the church teachings and legends say. But I'm not sure... I think there's something else behind it.

- I know no more, and in essence, much less than my friends. I prefer not to show how much less, - an awkward scratching of the back of his head as the patriarch's gaze swept over Erefir.

- If it were up to me, I would leave Arselia and Akonia only on the pages of books, but, alas, it seems that at this stage of history, this is still impossible. In our world, there are humans, there are dwarves, there are Lunarians, and many other intelligent races, but in ancient times there were also singular beings, who were then considered saints - blessed by Anuzish herself. Judging by your group's visit to the heart of Elysia, you have already met one of them. Akonia was also one of them, and during the war with the celestials, she was called Arselia's absolute shield. Of course, she had other qualities, but the main one was the invulnerability of her body and the ability to protect others from harm. Why this was so, I cannot say, because the truth is unknown to me. Before her betrayal, Arselia's followers believed that she was the Goddess's favorite, but now it is impossible to verify this. Returning to your questions, the most straightforward way to obtain elemental blessing is to ask the corresponding god for it: Rufus, Terron, Moen, or Sylphida, but they are always everywhere and nowhere, so it is practically impossible to meet them. The only other option is to seek the favor of a singularity with the corresponding elements. I think that the dragon king, if he wished, could grant you the blessing of fire, but I'm afraid that from your words it is clearly clear that he has decided not to take an active part in the upcoming events.
