"W-what is this?"

Athena could not conceive of what was written on the parchment. She used others in hopes that the first was defective, but they all showed the same information.

"M-my spells..."

Athena was upset. Tears of disbelief streamed down her face as she smiled a crooked smile.

"Saint of Humility? Haha... Emissary of Death?"

Athena read the parchment over and over again and nothing fit her mind.

"The gods have plenty of free time, don't they?"

Athena rose from the bed, where she fell helplessly on her legs and stared at the bedroom ceiling, as if she could see the sky.

"What did I do to deserve this?"

"Athena, stop! If you don't like this situation, don't face the gods. They might want to do something more to you!"

Athena looked at Lunnia with red and puffy eyes, her face was in pure sadness. She didn't care to which class she had changed, let alone her other traits, but her spells...

Athena went back to bed and laid her head on Lunnia's thighs and lay there, sniffling and crying in a fetal position.

"My spells are gone... I don't have any more learning scrolls with those spells... I was so fond of 'Hellfire'..."

Lunnia stroked Athena's blond hair and comforted her until she fell asleep. Later, Lunnia dragged a depressed Athena downtown to see the blacksmiths she liked so much, but it didn't change her mood much.

Far away, in Ursula, the capital of light. A religious city within the Kingdom of Basilica. ruled by the temple of light.

A young priest was running through the temple's corridors towards a white door.

"Your Holiness!" The young man came through the door unceremoniously, carrying two envelopes in his hands.

Inside the room, sitting in a chair that looked like a sculpture of a cathedral, with her back to a stained glass window, was a beautiful young woman with silver black hair and purple eyes.

"Warq, did you drop your education on the way here?"

"Forgive my behavior, Your Holiness, but it is an urgent matter."

"What is it?"

"It's a call from the king." Warq handed the letter with the royal seal to the woman.

"And the other?" The woman asked looking at the envelope remaining in the priest's hands.

"Ah! This is from the bank. From Mr. Charle."

The moment the priest said this, Serien's eyes wided in surprise. She dropped the king's letter on the table and hurried around her desk.

"Give me that. Thanks and slam the door when you leave." Serien said taking the letter from Warq's hands.

After the priest left the room, Serien broke the seal with almost trembling hands and read the contents.

<To Her Holiness, the High Priestess Serien Aust Basilica.

How have you been, miss?

Hope you are in good health.

I heard what happened at the palace a few weeks ago.

Don't you think it was a rash move?

I just hope that nothing like a civil war between the kingdom and the church happens. Although that would be very good for business.

I am writing to inform you of what you asked me to. The vault of Her Holiness, Athena, was moved to Juefu's bank, in the empire of Elsna.

I can imagine why she gone there, but I don't think she stays there for a long time.

Considerations.

Charles Arvanan.>

A smile spread across Serien's face, but then it faded. She had finally found Athena, but she was practically out of her reach.

The religion of the temple of light had been banned in the empire and the priests who did not flee were hunted down and killed like deer.

"I think I'll have to go myself..."

***

Three days had passed since Athena began her mourning and now she was on her feet again, after remembering the reason for this trip.

'I can't keep crying over spilled milk... Anemus needs me.'

"Where are we going today?" Lunnia asked as she put on her armor.

"I don't need a sword anymore, but I still need armor as good or better than my previous armor." Athena responded by pulling on the straps of her yellow dress. "Aren't you hot?"

Lunnia wore her gauntlets and her body was already sweaty even before putting on the armor.

"I am, but I don't have anything else to wear."

"Then wear this." Athena threw Lunnia a dress she had taken from her dimensional bag. "You can have it, Anemus insisted I buy it, but purple isn't my color."

When they left, the two drew as much attention as someone famous. It didn't matter who or why, everyone was looking at them.

Mainly for Lunnia. The color of the dress Athena had given her was the least of the problems. In fact, she liked the slightly faded purple color, but the real problem was its length.

The dress was so short that if a wind blew, her breasts would show.

"Athena, I want to go back to the bedroom." Lunnia said as she pulled her dress down, revealing a bit of her breasts.

"Why?"

"Why? I look like a whore! All the men who pass by us keep eating me with their eyes!"

"What are you talking about? You look beautiful! Let them look, you need more confidence in yourself."

"What do I want that for? That's not even my real appearance..."

Lunnia's ring of transformation was random. She almost never changed into the same appearance twice.

Now she was a woman with dark hair and charming blue eyes and attractive lips. Athena loved that look when she saw her this morning.

"Then take off the ring."

"No!"

"Why not? You are beautiful in your true form."

"I would be an easy target for those who hate demons."

"You are not a demon." Athena said with a serious face. "I don't know what your mother was like, but every demon I've ever met was irrationally violent."

'At least in the game.'

"I've only known you for a little while, but I know you're a good person. I won't insist that you take off the ring, but know that I'll be by your side whenever you want to do it."

Lunnia smiled shyly and with her head held high she continued walking down the main street until arriving at a square, where merchants, adventurers and people announcing events and wares gathered.

"Come, come! This is a beautiful specimen of firebird!"

"Wanting to enchant your gear? Here's the right place!"

"Black ice crystals! I sell black ice crystals! It's the last five!"

"Bets! Place your bets!"

Everyone shouted their offers and wares in an attempt to make a quick and easy profit. However, none of them were interesting to Athena and Lunnia.

They kept going deeper into the square until Athena heard a really tempting announcement for her.

"Spiritual Stone of Fire! The auction will start in ten minutes! Place your bids! It was very difficult to get this stone and I intend to profit a lot! Interested parties look for the auction house on Third Street! It starts at..."

Athena grabbed Lunnia's wrist and pulled her through the crowd out of the square.

"A-Athena? What's wrong? What's in such a hurry?"

"A fire stone! I need that for Fotiá!"

"Fire stone?"

"Spiritual fire stone, I'm going to buy it for Fotiá to evolve! Huh?"
