A sombre atmosphere prevailed inside the grand Church of the Goddess of Light, and the faint sound of prayers echoed softly through the massive hall while rows of candles flickered gently beneath the golden statues.
The church itself looked magnificent.
Tall white pillars stretched upward toward the dome ceiling while countless glowing crystals illuminated the surroundings with a soft holy radiance, and beautiful carvings covered the walls showing scenes of angels, saints, and believers praying beneath the light of the Goddess.
The air felt calm.
Sacred.
And strangely peaceful.
Ever since arriving at the Imperial Capital, Ethan and Rathlos had decided to visit the church quietly before leaving the city again.
After all, among the many gods worshiped throughout the world, the Goddess of Light remained one of the most respected deities inside Arcadia alongside the Goddess of Nature, who oversaw fertility, harvest, and love.
Many people came daily to seek blessings.
