Elita knew a great deal about the Deities as a Paladin Champion. She knew of their Heralds, and she even understood a lot more about their powers than most.
She had felt the individual intimacy of the powers of the Quintess, Listafelle and Suzate through the Primus that flowed through the Higher Order Priests of the Purity.
Her years as a Paladin Champion taught her that indeed, the Deities were real, as was their essence.
She could differentiate them all: the land, sea and sky felt close to her ever since the day she was knighted.
Elita also had knowledge about events lost to ti like the Ashing of Ti caused by the dragon Jiggorrhax. She, like all the other Paladin Champions, was apprised of most secrets the general public weren't mandated to know, but even she hadn't t the Deities that had created her ho world; not that eting A Deity was anything special to her though at this point.
The fact that Replicus essentially revealed that he had been in Suzate's domain before surprised Elita.
The Warmoth's Progeny looked at her.
"Let's go," he said and he had Red Rage take him into the spatial crack. Yuyui followed with a look that was a mix of excitent and fear. She didn't hesitate to follow her master because she trusted him deeply.
What she was about to face was supposed to be just as incredible to her as it was to Elita, but she hardly valued it as such.
Elita, on the other hand, took a breath. After Replicus and the others had sunken into the crack, she then followed.
At once, a bizarre view t them all.
To Replicus, it was rather familiar, though not in a pleasant way.
The sky was everywhere. The whole place was a canvas of bright blue with vast, white clouds softly floating in each direction.
Yuyui gaped and clapped her hands on her mouth. Her reaction wasn't because of the odd view, however.
She had seen HER within the first few seconds upon entry.
Beyond the simple design of the place, Yuyui saw sothing colossal yet difficult to define, perfectly integrated into the domain. It was gazing down at them. Well, it seed as though it was gazing at them.
Yuyui felt the pressure from its presence and collapsed to her knees, as did Red Rage and by extension, Replicus, whom he was supporting.
Elita stood firm, however.
She gave a quick appraisal of the whole place and then looked up at Suzate's Divine figure which seemingly had no end and no beginning but could still manifest in a form humans could asure sowhat as humanoid.
Replicus looked up as well, his gaze also as relaxed as it could be.
Suzate said softly.
Neither Replicus nor Elita knew what to say to this.
For the forr, it was because his relationship with the Deity was quite tense and unfriendly, while for Elita, it felt as though she was eting a parent for the first ti, even if she knew that Suzate did not have a hand in the creation of any living thing (the official races) on Aigas.
There was a pause, and then Replicus spoke. Well, he sneered.
"Seeing as you invited us, I have no doubt that the subject you wish to talk to us about is sothing that has spiralled out of your hands, unlike last ti."
Elita gave Replicus a quick, questioning, rebuking look, but he pretended as though he didn't sense it.
Suzate said to Replicus.
The Progeny scoffed.
"And I see you are still determined to not call by my na. I'm not so damn anomaly!" "Ahem!" Elita coughed awkwardly to disperse the tension.
This wasn't going as she had expected.
Sure, it seed as though Replicus was already acquainted with Suzate, but she hadn't expected them to have hostilities towards each other.
In all honesty, their short hisses at each other made Elita cry inwardly at the ruined fantasy she had just dread up. Perhaps a part of her had wanted to imagine herself as the Paladin Champion she had always dread of becoming before: one that actually t the Deities she served and was ordained by them personally for a task.
Right then, Elita felt the attention of Suzate creep over her.
she said, and Replicus nearly detonated.
