Chapter 40, The Storm is Coming

As the young man bid farewell to his elders, within the confines of Revival City, Perbov, the Primal High Priest of the Primordial Wrath Owl Sect, was performing his daily mandatory ritual.

In a brightly lit hall, stood the divine statue of a god that resembled a bear with the wings of an eagle. Carved from white marble like stone, the furious visage of the Rage Owl God threatened to engulf any onlooker in its wrath. Those who stood before it felt as if a storm was hurtling toward them, and the faint of heart could be shattered by its winds.

Primal High Priest Perbov sat steadily before the statue of the Primordial Rage Owl God.

He was receiving the baptism of the storm, while also hearkening to the fury of the divine spirit.

At that moment, a cleric wearing a gray hood silently appeared behind the High Priest.

Keeping his distance, he did not feel the wind, but he knew well the consequences of standing before the stormy effigy.
