Yeah, she really got stuck in a rut right at the beginning of their exchange. She didn't quite hear everything correctly and even decided to test Erefir's patience a bit, but ended up putting herself in an awkward situation. It was a bit embarrassing, but whatever. They'll probably remember it later and laugh about it: "Hey, remember when I accidentally told you that I was publicly flogged? That was hilarious, haha-ha-ha!". However, the redhead never actually voiced her conclusions, but she probably won't figure out the real reason anyway. Maybe someday she'll hear the whole story, without embellishments.

In any case, Alaria still had one more important task for the evening. Another idea that needed to be tested before the upcoming events. She couldn't postpone it any longer. After changing clothes, stretching, and refreshing herself in a bath, the Tanarian woman immersed herself in deep meditation once again, trying to look deeper into the flame and into her own soul. To understand their essence even better. She didn't just mention the concept of cleansing flame at the recent briefing for no reason. In the heart of the warrior, there was a hope that the stories about the abilities of the cult of flame were not exaggerated. That fire could potentially protect her and her comrades from the lich's curses and his miasma. Help preserve their humanity. And even restore it to the many victims of the cruel sorcerer.

Although the former inquisitor didn't emphasize it, she mentioned Arseidia in her impromptu lecture. About how the envious goddess tears the unfortunate from the cycle of souls, forever separating families. While some were sent to a new life, others languished in her embrace. The Many-Faced Monogat, in his madness, was preparing to turn thousands of innocents into undead. In Alaria's home world, simply destroying a walking corpse would be enough to bring peace to the unfortunate. But here... they wouldn't find peace even after death. That's how inhumane the approach of the main lich of Nephiria was. That's why the girl considered finding a cure for the ailment of such existence as something that could no longer be postponed. She tried to find a way to either protect the living or return Monogat's victims to a normal state, or at least cleanse their souls with her fire after destroying their dead bodies. To free them from the shackles of Arseidia and return them to the cycle of rebirth. To save the innocent puppets in this way, if no other way is possible. Or at least understand that such attempts are futile and that the realities of Anush are too different from her home world in this respect.
