Cromerth... it had been a while since Caelis and Faith had stayed in the city, but their last stay was memorable, mostly due to the towering cathedral. It was a regional center of religion as well, and Caelis and Faith clearly remember their last visit. In fact, when they approached the city, Caelis and Faith heard a familiar sound coming from the cathedral. They hurriedly shuffled over to the cathedral's entrance. They second they opened the door they were welcomed by the passionate [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqe1g5LRadI]singing[/url] of a stringed instrument. The interior of the church was pristine as the aisles were lined with oaken benches for the faithful. The pillars of white marble held the arched ceiling that echoed the harmony. At the alter, a choir stood, being led by a young woman. Various exotic instruments were setting the harmony of the song until the young woman opened her mouth and released an angelic sound. Although there were no words, her voice conveyed all her emotions, hope, strength, and there was a touch of gentleness. 

Caelis shivered slightly from her singing while Faith's eyes were stuck on the woman. When the song stopped, Caelis and Faith broke from their trance. The woman turned around as they approached her. She was a blonde woman with medium length hair, and despite her down to earth look, there was a hint of a dignity in the way she carried herself. She smiled at them as Caelis said "It has been too long, Helen." Helen embraced to the two in a hug and said "I have been looking forward to the day that I would meet you two again. Come, let me treat you all to some tea." They then entered a hallway to the right of the altar, and walked deeper into the cathedral. 

Helen set two cups of teas in front of Caelis and Faith, which they thanked her for. As Helen sat down she said "Now then, Caelis, why do you look so... roughed up?" Caelis replied "Well, I took up an offer with a caravan. It's on a journey to the other continent, which is harrowing... I know. But, the pay is more than generous." Helen then said "Why do you need so much money all of a sudden? You always seemed to be someone who was happy with little." Without saying a word, Caelis' eyes shifted for a moment towards Faith, and Helen nodded as she understood. She said "You know that you two are always welcomed to join the covenant." Caelis replied "You know that there are those in the church who are disdainful towards those who are not completely human. Besides, I want to give her all the opportunities possible.
