EIRA

Prologue

"Attention to all Followers, Our Prophet, Lydia, will make an announcement for us all!" A man yelled. The man have a light blue cloak with a flower petal symbol on it's back. The man had his hood on, revealing only his mouth yelling and announcing Lydia's announcement.

Many people gathered, some have light red cloaks, some have light purple cloaks, some have light yellow cloaks, and one of them have a light grey cloak. "Look! Isn't that the priestess? The One Who Wears Peace?" A woman said, pointing at the light grey cloak. "Why is she here? Isn't she's supposed to be with Lydia's side?" A child said, asking their parents. Everyone's attention went from the announcer to the priestess with the light grey cloak. The priestess walks forward as the light blue followers made some way for her. As she was walking, a mythical creature with the body of a lion, the tail of a snake, and the head and wings of an eagle appeared. The creature was small, like a rat. In normal means, the creature is called a Griffin, but what's on the priestess's shoulder is no Griffin, but a Kadin, a mythical animal shapeshifter.

"Kadin, where were you? I cannot find you." The priestess spoke in a small, quiet voice. Kadin began shaking their tail, "Oh! Me? I'm just flying around trying to help someone in need!" Kadin said. The priestess saw Kadin shaking their tail, indicating happiness to most animals. "You are lying." The priestess accused. Kadin clicked their tongue. "You're too good at reading me." The Kadin readies their wings and flew to a building. The building looks like a cathedral with a giant bell tower on top. The Kadin grew in size as it is now equal to a minotaur.

The cathedral opened it's giant doors for the priestess. As the priestess entered the cathedral, the doors closed immediately. "The priestess have arrived, Our Prophet." A follower with light blue cloak said to a woman who seems to be praying. The cathedral was lighted with candles and chandeliers. In the middle of it, was a fountain with a statue of an angel. The woman is praying to the statue while the follower is watching from one of the seats. "Let the prophet pray, you can leave us." The priestess said as the follower bows their head and leaves the cathedral. The priestess watches as the servant leaves. "Eira." The praying woman called, "Take off your hood and come sit with me." The priestess changes her watch to the praying woman who is currently sitting in the fountain. The priestess nods slightly and took off her hood.

Her hair is long and straight hair, colored in black. Her irises are navy blue in color, those who have seen it will see an illusion of an ocean. Her skin was pale with a slight pink in her cheeks like a forever blush. The priestess took of her cloak, revealing a white priestess outfit. The praying woman, wears a white gown, all of her features are colored in white. To most people, she would look like a ghost. "The gods have ordered me to be jealous to none, but to see you in that clothes is making me jealous." The praying woman said. "Our Prophet, beautiful or not, you are the bridge to us and to our gods, please take this seriously." The priestess said as she bow towards the praying woman, The Prophet.

"You don't have a sense of humor, do you?" The Prophet stands as the cathedral's entrance opened. Followers started to take a seat inside and chants, "Oh Gods of Above, let us hear our command!". The chants continues until all followers got inside. The cathedral doors closed and the chants stops. "I, The Prophet, Lydia shall now announce the Gods command." The Prophet began to pray as the bells starts ringing. The priestess, Eira continues to bow without making any sounds. The Prophet stopped praying and all followers stands up to hear the command. "The Gods orders us to bring peace to the never-ending war." The Prophet said. Some gasps can be heard in the cathedral, "SILENCE!" The light blue servants yelled in unison. The cathedral was silent once more.

"It saddens me, that we have to send someone to bring peace to all lands." The Prophet said, her voice filled with sadness as she look down to the bowing priestess. "The Gods orders our priestess, Eira to be sent to lands." Eira didn't make a sound of shocked or anything. The cathedral was filled with gasps and whispers. The followers never guessed that, out of all followers, the priestess would be the one sent to the foreign lands. The priestess is a successor for The Prophet. A Prophet can only choose one priestess in their life. If the priestess dies, the orders from the Gods cannot reach the followers, and the followers will be driven to chaos.

"I will fulfill Our Gods commands, to venture out to the foreign lands and bring peace to all!" The priestess claimed. All the followers gave Eira an applaud, the cathedral was filled with those sounds. Eira stood up and the applaud stopped. Eira wears her cloak and starts walking out of the cathedral. "Why don't you look at that! Seems like the so called Gods hate you." The Kadin said as they flew from the bell to Eira's shoulder while shrinking. "I don't need your distraction Kadin. If they hate me so much, they can banish me from the holy land." Eira said. The Kadin chuckles and turns into a cat. They jumped off Eira's back and smirks. "I want to see the foreign lands, let me come with you! I'll help you do stuff!" The Kadin said in a playful tone as it walk in front of Eira. "I don't need distractions. I take this command seriously, Kadin." Eira whispers so that Kadin won't hear her clearly. Eira immediately walks faster, to outrun Kadin. "I heard that Eira!" Kadin yelled, so that Eira can hear them.

Thus, their journey begins.
