Will they Spare Us?

Petricia's expression turned solemn. She took a deep breath, then lowered her head slightly, showing respect before she spoke. "Celestus is the Divine One our ancestors spoke of. The one who brings change… the one who will lead us to salvation." She hesitated, then met Alex's gaze directly. "For generations, we have waited for the return of Celestus." A strange gleam flickered in her emerald eyes. "And now, he has finally arrived."

Alex sat there, staring at her, before slowly turning toward Emily. Emily gave him a deadpan look. "...Don't."

Alex's lips curled into a shit-eating grin. "Looks like I'm a god now." 

Emily narrowed her eyes at Alex ignoring his remark, suspicion start creeping in. She could tell he was skirting the topic. 'That probably means there is a way, but brother doesn't want to tell me because it's risky,' she thought.
