☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- You are either very mistaken or have an overly high opinion of yourself if you think Anush is concerned with you. - The priest said this with a slight smile. - No one knows how Miss Cosmos's mechanism works, so the rejection of her creations is primarily due to concerns about the safety of this world. Everything else that is said and done on top of that are just the personal views of each individual person; it doesn't matter if they are a priest or not... This applies to me as well. - He looked intently into the priestess's eyes. - I was also excommunicated from the Church of Arselia at one time, and now I have to be a heretic. Can you guess why? Although, never mind, I'll tell you myself - my colleagues didn't like that I denied the importance of Arselia in the context of worshiping Anush, and I didn't appeal to the nobles of my homeland because I declared my Temple a refuge for peasants who didn't want to live under their oppression. In the end, I didn't want to become a martyr, so I had to save my life by fleeing to the Empire. By the way, Bronislava was that very peasant who took advantage of my offer of protection. For me, she is a living example that my efforts at that time were not in vain. After all, in the eyes of Anush, everyone is equal, which means that the class system of my homeland is unacceptable. And yet, the Church of Arselia quite readily allowed it, so things are not so simple - mortals can make mistakes. I have a rough idea of what kind of person you are, and I don't see any threat in you to our world, so all I can advise you is to respond to people with kindness and try not to dwell on your alien status. If you are lucky enough to be in the embrace of our Goddess-Mother, then don't be discouraged and live life to the fullest - because the opposite would be disrespectful to Her hospitality. - He placed his palm on her shoulder. - But if that's not enough, know that I personally allow you to be here - and you decide for yourself whose words are more important to you: this priest or all your friends and loved ones.
