Everything itch bck, a heavy weight was felt upon Lumina as she navigated a pounding headache ing out from rest. In the darkness, Lumina drifted in and out of sciousness and heard a female and male voice every so often but the words were often muffled and the versation was lost on her.

  "How is...Is there-"

  "She has been... No need... Everything will be..."

  "I'll stay and... Ehat..."

  After an unknown period of time, Lumina finally wakes up groggily, slowly lifting herself up from whatever she was lying on a a burniion ihroat as she felt she would vomit. "Here, use this." A boushed into her faina grabbed it and vomited out some bile and gastric juices as she remembered the feeling of taking the life of others.

  After taking away her face from the bowl, a gss of water repced it and was gently tipped into her mouth. Taking tis ce, she looked at the person who was helping her and was in a little shock to realise that it was Sylvia, the sister of the guildmaster, shadow of An and nice elf dy who looked after her in the women's clothing store. "Thank you." Lumina's voice that was a little raspy trembled a little as she thanked her beor. "Where are we?"

  "We are currently in the private infirmary in the knights headquarters. Your safe, o panic." Taking a moment to gather her bearings, Lumina saw that she was currently in a state of undress with only her underwear on and a bandage surrounding the wound that was made on her arm in the previous attack from the bandits.

  "Who were they?" Lumina demanded an answer, her eyes unwavering in the face of Sylvia. Taking the gss from Lumina, she settled it by the bedside table before responding to her.

  "They were a small scout squad from the Sger bandits, some of the weakest in the group. However, when searg their bodies I found a letter that they received an order from their higherups to find a woman with bd violet hair and take them back for a t I'm currently still searg for clues about this myself."

  Taking a moment to process this, Lumi a hesitant gowards Sylvia before hardening her resolve and biting her lips. "Do you... Know how to deal with... K-Killing someone?"

  Sylvia, sat down on Lumina's bedside and looked softly into her eyes. "Everyos to murder and the killing of others differently. Some are psychopaths who find the thrill in it, there are those pletely indifferent to it and there are those who feel disgust and guilt towards themselves as they do so." Stroking Lumina's hair she tinued.

  "From what I see... Your the tter. Now, everyone deals with this differently but from my personal experience, I forced myself to tinue killing regardless how I felt about myself until it bees sed nature aually became numb to the mere thought of it. But, I also do not feel joy in doing so either."

  A long silence occurred between them a Lumina digested that information and wanting a distra from those thoughts, she wao learn more about the world that she was in. "Sylvia... I don't know much about the world due to... Reasons I do not wish to disclose, do you think you could help me learn more about this world sidering that my information is g?"

  Sylvia looked up in thought, scrutinising Lumina's face before ruminating over what to say. "Well first, lets talk about the tis and their rulings and s first as I believe that this should help iure when you leave this ti."

  Taking a breath, she tinued. "The world itself is called Eroinor and it is called this way because this was the name of the inal goddess that birthed the fods and goddesses that the rest worship. Now there are five tis, eae worship a differey except the tral ti."

  "As a bit of history, the inal goddess left this world for unknown reasons and that many schors of history and religioe still to this very day with various specutions. However, the tral ti called Elese is sidered ral grounds for all religions."

  Lumina who was taking this all in, decided to ask a question that came to mind. "But what about the church of Aeturna Mortem? They were wiped out by the other three."

  Sylvia raised a brow before she answered with a slight smile. "Well, the scripture from the other religions say that the deities released an oracle that the god of death turraitor and thus all of his religious subjects are tainted with evil and bsphemy but in my personal opinion, there must be something more to it than that."

  "Now, the tihat we are currently on is reted to the god of death, and used to be called Morae but is now known as the nd of exiles for obvious reasons. This nd used to be home for vampires, werewolves which are different from the wolfen mind you, liches and undead and other sutities."

  Sylvia grabbed a gss of water to moistening her parched throat from talking so much.

  "To the north of the tral ti called Rion, is the hious empire of the Sancta Soris who are the most devout and brutal fanatics of them all. They also engage in svery of the lower races and are mostly human with other races below them. To the east of the tral ti is the ti called Gaius, home of the dwarven empire and Sancta Terra. They care much more fiving and the only sves they have are those reted to this tis inhabitants. Their major popution is dwarves but most of the beastmen e from this nation."

  "Finally, the Western ti referred to as Eclisea, is the home of most elf species where the royalty are the moon elves, the closest to Sancta Lunaris. Of course there is much history and more to these nds than just their empires and religions but I believe that you should take this time to rest for now."

  After saying this, Sylvia got up a Lumina to her thoughts as she lied there in bed before her tiredness finally got to her and she fell asleep again.
