She nervously tugged on Lexus, and quietly whispered so no one would hear. [color=palegoldenrod]"I don't understand what's going on. Why do you look like that? Who are all these people? Why are they all staring? Don't they know is rude? And why is this temple not consecrated? There's no divine spark. It [i]is[/i] a temple right? And who is this Dragonfather?"[/color] Her words came in a thoughtless rush as she desperately tried to grasp the situation.

[color=palegoldenrod]"You should have told me that sooner!"[/color] She whispered angrily, trying not to shout. Her cheeks were already died a few shades of red. [color=palegoldenrod]"I don't want to stay here anymore. Can we go? I want to see December!"[/color]

Seeing Lexus turn his attention to the Earth Priest outside, her gaze followed. She could his connection to some divine being, but couldn't pinpoint the source. The priest on stage, however, was a charlatan as far as Akena was concerned. He had not an ounce of divine magic and strange arcane energy flowed from him freely. [color=palegoldenrod]"Why is the wizard at the pulpit and the priest outside the temple? Do they worship arcanists and magi here?"[/color]

Regardless, she recognized the Yuan's look was one of reverent awe rather than irritation or awkward curiosity. At first, Akena didn't understand why he wore such an expression, let alone why it seemed directed at her, but it quickly dawned on her. [color=palegoldenrod]"I think he was overwhelmed by my aura. Should we talk to him? It may help him regain his senses."[/color]

Hearing Akena the Chosen's declaration that there was no divinity in the temple caused a sudden feeling of shame to descend on Lexus Dominiel. The angel had made the blasphemous assumption that the religion of the Dragonfather was the true religion, had assumed that the 'Dragonfather' was another form of December, when in fact, it was nothing more than base ancestor worship.

For a brief moment there was a mild but dreadful feeling of heaviness. The cathedral stones creaked and groaned, stained glass rattled, loose dust high in the arches dislodged and drifted to the ground. A few people may have experienced mild vertigo and difficulty breathing, but the sensation passed as quickly as it came. Lexus Dominiel unclenched its fists.

Turning to Akena in a whisper, [color=a187be]"Yes, let us depart. There is no truth to be found here.[/color] The angel said the last part with a certain degree of venom. Lexus Dominiel continued to fill Akena in while they walked out of the Cathedral, [color=a187be]"Your reemergence has been most fortuitous. Had you not appeared, I might have been led astray. Lady December is currently seeking information on this new world that we find ourselves in, and is at the Magician's Guild with two other gods: Lady Danielle and Lady Himitsu. I have come to the spiritual district to see if there are devout worshippers on the right path, and made the mistake to wander into this den of ignorance. So as to keep our divinity hidden for the time being, Lady December has placed this disguise upon me.[/color]

Agreeing with Akena's suggestion to speak with the Earth priest, once out of the cathedral, Lexus Dominiel called out, [color=a187be]"Holy man, are you experiencing an Epiphany?"[/color]
