Posts from ☀️ Arselia and Akonia Auto-translated

—Goodwill? No, I haven't heard of him. I can understand his argument, from a purely scientific point of view. And yet... life isn't as straightforward as we sometimes would like it to be. If there were no magic in our world, and the firmness of beliefs didn't give people new, unique abilities, and everything could simply be explained by the biochemical processes taking place in our bodies, then yes... But as it is, blaming the person himself is not always appropriate. As our village elder used to say: "it's not the spell that's bad, it's the setting that sucks," whatever that means.

—It's not your fault. Since my return, I sometimes don't even recognize Margel; so much has changed in such a short time due to various ominous circumstances. I recently came across a very interesting city guide dated June, by an unknown professional journalist, and with regret, I realized how many things in it are hopelessly outdated. I hope the author will one day be able to update this interesting work.

—Then we have an agreement. —Klin briefly places his palm on Sanex's hand. —Excuse me, instead of warming warmth, I will seal our promise with icy cold.

—I'm very glad to hear that. But to learn about me? —Klin, unlike Sanex, could not blush due to his condition. —I'm just a simple person with simple beliefs, who happened to stumble upon a not-so-simple curse, that's all. But... if this is really your wish, then as I said, I will try to help in its implementation...

- Yes, you're probably right. In that case... Maybe you can finally tell me your trade secret that I once inquired about? If, of course, it's permissible, - she glanced at Kayasu, unnoticed by her, but noticed by the old man. - And in return, I will share something important with you.

- The elemental gods don't get along with each other, so I wouldn't recommend that one person seek the blessings of two or more deities, because it's impossible to say for sure what that would lead to. As for the possibility of obtaining one elemental blessing at the same time by several people... It all depends on the circumstances, but before I answer the next question, tell me - what, in your opinion, is Akonia?

— Yes, I think it might work. To my shame, I must admit that I wouldn't have thought of seeking the help of the elements to resolve this situation myself.

He then shares his assumptions about the blessings of the elements and their supposed effect on Hopeless.

What do you think, 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.

I think that the Dragon King, if he wished, could bestow upon you the blessing of fire, but I'm afraid that from your words it is clearly evident that he has decided not to take an active part in the upcoming events.
