The Abundant Morning

[Maria had just woken up, she took her time exploring the sky realm.]

"So the sky realm is just above the village? Can't they see this?" - Maria

"Satori made the sky realm invisible to all the races per our master's order." - Chronos

"Ah, Chronos sir, you've woken up.. May I ask who is Azazel?" - Maria

"Haha. I forgot that you were new here, I must be getting old." - Chronos

"Its okay, I also forget things a lot as well, it happens when I think too much about something." - Maria

"I'm glad I'm not the only one. Back to your question, the demonic brothers are masters of illusions and flames. Azazel is the greatest when it comes to illusions, he can trap you inside your dreams for eternity if he wanted to." - Chronos

"Amazing, to think that a human could become this powerful." - Maria

"It wasn't easy, all of us here have our own stories on how we reached this level." - Chronos

"Wait, if all of you are this powerful, then how powerful are the three celestial apostle and Angel-sama." - Maria

"I don't really have the grasp of their true power and especially Angel-sama, the man who made the 'three' loyal to him by defeating them in battle." - Chronos

"I see." - Maria

[While Chronos and Maria were conversing, the villagers were having a problem with the growth of the crops. The farms inside the kingdom were different because their soil was blessed by the priests for better harvest while villages have to live with what they get from their farms.]

"It has seem that the villagers need some blessing on their farms, its your chance to get some worshippers." - Chronos

"Wait, but isn't there somebody that can help with the crop's quality? I haven't met everybody but seeing you and their powers, it shouldn't be impossible of anyone of you right?" - Maria

"We unfortunately don't have anybody other than the lord... So this probably your best chance to gain worshippers." - Chronos

[This is my chance to gain back my divinity, I can't let this pass.]

"I will go down to bless the farms with the divinity Angel-sama gave to me." - Maria

"Then go make a grand entrance." - Chronos

{A radiant sunlight shone on the farms blessing the crops faster growth and with better quality. Maria then spoke with a gentle yet loud voice, "I have blessed your land and thou shalt have an eternal bountiful harvest.", she said. The villagers prayed, thanking the Goddess Maria for the blessing she had given to villagers.}

"To think that there would be somebody other than the lord to wield divine power. I greet the lord's apostle Chronos

"You're here Garin, how is the extermination on the demons going?" - Chronos

"Not so well, they keep spreading like germs and kept attacking villages which is annoying! It should be Akuma that's supposed to fend them off, I mean isn't he their former general!?" - Garin

"Calm yourself Garin! Your chaotic energy is fluctuating again, you need to calm down." - Chronos

"I apologize my lord, I may have lost my cool once again." - Garin

"Mr. Chronos, I'm ba-" - Maria

{As Maria saw Garin, she felts chills through her body as a terrifying powerful black aura is revolving around him. Garin stood up in front of her and was looking at her with a glare that feels like it pierces through her soul though he immediately suppressed his dark chaotic energy as she getting weak.}

"I'll be taking my leave now lord Chronos and I greet the goddess Maria." - Garin says as the black energy wraps around him and disappears after

{Maria fell down to her knees}

"I suggest you take some rest Maria, it seems that you're tired from using your divine energy to bless those many farms." - Chronos

"Yes, I might have overdone myself Mr. Chronos but who was he? He was exuding such terrifying power." - Maria

"Oh, you mean Garin? He is one of the combatants that supports Ares in his wars against the demons and he is called the 'elite of Chaos. That's all I can tell you, I'll tell you the rest when you wake up." - Dio Senko

"Okay, I'll go and take my rest." - Maria

{Maria rests in her room inside the mansion}

<Morning at the Adventurer's Guild>

"This should be good for my next quest." - Angel

{The next quest was to escort a noble family safely to their destination}

"Diana, I'll be accepting this request." - Angel

"Oh, an escortation request from a marquis, I guess you can explore with this quest... Just stamp the quest paper and meet the requester for the escorting." - Diana

{I've stamped the quest paper and started walking to the marquis's house, I wonder what kind adventures will await for me and also, I hope that Maria is doing well, she might come across 'him' but the other apostles should intervene if something happens, I hope so.}
