Chapter 55. Everyone Can Get A Hug

The One Eyed Village, Bloodbath Forest, Unknown Realm of Lost Souls

It was about the time of daybreak.

Nitya had led Advik and Shwet straight to the sacred temple of their goddess Riddhima, Goddess of Bravery and Courage. Holy chants and mantras filled the air and purified the foul and gloomy atmosphere of the village to some degree.

All the villagers were engrossed in their prayers as it was the only thing they could think of doing after what they all went through last night. The bells of the temple were loud yet spread serenity around in the wounded hearts of the people as they bowed in front of the altar.

The temple had nothing but a rock that represented the goddess with four pillars of woods to support a roof made of clothes with a small altar ahead of the idol filled with offerings and oil lamps.

Advik and Shwet were standing at the end of the crowd with Nitya.
