Derevos leaves the Citadel of the Capital Guard and sets out to do what guards of order do best: patrol. Usually, the days in the vicinity of the Shrine of Selara pass peacefully and quietly, but this time something went wrong...
Our brave guard barely manages to move away from his workplace when something hideous catches his eye. Even more hideous than the criminals who have become his headache in recent weeks. If you throw the Kaishi into the worst conditions, they will never degrade to the level that this incomprehensible creature possesses. Derevos, himself a fine man in excellent physical shape, and, most importantly, the happy owner of truly heroic whiskers, could hardly look at the one he met without disgust. However, the guard didn't have much time to think about it, as the creature immediately attacked, waving a dirty bowl like an improvised weapon. Only one broken word with a strange accent came from its mouth:
– I will kill you!
This insane attack would hardly have caused Derevos any harm, but in the end, it didn't even hit its target, because from somewhere near the huge silhouette of the Great Cathedral of Ceraria, a spear flew through the air with a whistle and pierced the creature through and through. A scream of terrible pain rang out. The creature's skin burst, the flesh slid off the bones, and the barely discernible veins flared up with green flame. After a couple of moments, only a handful of ashes remained of the monster. And the spear turned around in the air and flew in the opposite direction, leaving Derevos and other witnesses to savor what had happened. And there was something to savor, because in this strange weapon, it was easy to recognize the Sacred Spear of Ceraria, which she herself wielded.
On one of the upper balconies of the Great Cathedral, a truly tense atmosphere reigned. Several still quite young priestesses shivered timidly, while those who had served the Empress of the Source for a longer time simply stood with grim expressions on their faces. All eyes were fixed on the stately woman of incredible beauty and the spear in her hand.
– Whoever dared to do this... must die. Cleanse the capital before I take care of it myself!
– Yes, Lady Ceraria!
After these words, unprecedented movement began among the ranks of the priestesses...
