back again
Xena wanted to take Caspian and leave this blasted place.
She had always hated the red religion above all. Flame temple always gave her creeps.
Their rituals full of schadenfreude and hallucinations, the tightrope walk between truth and lies, she had enough of it.
She knew instinctively the dark world she had entered while she was at flame temple is a fake one.
Had she sat in that throne, her life would have been forfeit.
But Caspian, Caspian is somehow different.
It is said the more powerful magic a person has, the more sensitive they are to auras.
She is not as powerful as Nadia, but even with her moderate amount of aura sense, she could see there is a resonance between Caspian and the flame temple.
Like all social institutions, this flame temple and red religion could not have begun with sheer madness as their agenda.
No matter how one looks at it, Fire is life giving.
