☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- So, Kalin, tell me... How did everything go in Vakamo? While we're walking, I'd be interested to hear about your adventures. To be honest, I was worried when you were gone for so long.

Kalin, who had been watching the peculiar procession of mourning for pets with some disapproval, given the context of the nightmare that had unfolded in Kriedar, readily turned her attention to another topic.
- It's not that interesting of a story. I expected to have to duel with samurai or somehow prove my "worthiness," but in reality, it was enough to simply explain the situation, although I did have to wait for some time for an audience with the princess. She's a very sweet girl, although with her height, she looks like a child. I'm not particularly tall myself, but she's a head taller than me. In short, after she understood the situation, she agreed to help me and ordered the priests to prepare the Temple of Mio for the ritual. When everything was ready, they left me there alone, and I had to spend some time in prayer before the saint responded to my call. I think it helped that my faith skill was well-developed; otherwise, I would have just sat there not knowing what to do or what to expect. In short, she was convinced that I was a normal woman and that I was seeking her blessing with good intentions... And that's it.
