Lazarus And Arielle

In the blessing hall, Arielle met Sasha, who had also just finished praying with several other people.

"What are you doing here?" asked Arielle, who joined Sasha on one of the benches in the hall. She was surprised to see the boy in the Cathedral, of all places.

The boy smiled widely. He looked happy and fresh.

"I don't steal anymore. I didn't come here to do it," replied Sasha with a blush on his face, embarrassed by his previous actions. "I'm just praying before starting my morning practice with Lord Kael. Tomorrow, I will be invited to camp in the forest!"

"Camping? In this weather?" asked Arielle worriedly. She glanced briefly at the window and saw a never-ending pile of snow. No matter how clear the skies in the North, the air temperature in this place would still freeze anyone out there.

"You don't have to worry. This is one of my forms of training to become a great Knight like Lord Kael."
