"We heard word of it half a day ago. The Grand Priest will see you tomorrow," a Priestess said to Skullius while blocking his path with a cold stare.
"It's urgent. Can't we do this now?" Skullius said with a deepening frown.
"You have no right to rush us. Every second you spend afflicted by the curse upon you serves as atonement. Receive it with open arms."
The Priestess no longer paid Skullius any attention as she attended to the many other people coming and going from the Temple.
Her expression turned bright, showing off delightful rays of affability with her kind handshake and smile, this being in stark contrast to how she had treated the Hybrid Luman.
How judgey.
You tell a tale about abducting innocents for a devilish cult and suddenly you're the bad guy?
Sigh. Yes, you're the bad guy.
Yes you're they bad guy.
Fairly so.
Skullius scowled and turned away.
"Well that's perfect," he said as he shook his head.
