To the Hero's memory

"All praise our saviour, the last hero!"

With the crowd repeating the princess words as if they were some sort of a magical chant, all the lights of the main sanctuary room suddenly light up. Considering how I didn't feel any energy fluctuations, rather than an automated reaction to the chant, it was nothing else but a cheap trick created by placing trusted men in several key locations, tasked to light the fires when the time was right.

"Today, we will celebrate the first, yearly anniversary of our greatest hero, noble sacrifice!"

As soon as the crowd turned silent, the priestess-princess hit the staff on the floor once again, announcing the daily mission for this strange ceremony. While I was quite curious about how the events would unfold in the near future, I wouldn't be me if I didn't check out on the three of my retainers.
