79: Whispers in the City- Part 1

"I am sorry, but you are not allowed to meet Goddess Auriel. She has ordered not to be disturbed by anyone during her alone time."

"B-But I need to meet her! She can perform miracles, right? Then she can save my son. My dear and beautiful son needs her. Please, let me go inside."

Auriel heard the voices of priests turning people away and also of the people begging to meet her.

It made her feel bad when these genuinely nice people had to be turned down because she was not in the mood to meet them, but this was necessary.

After all, if Auriel did one person a favor, the others would expect their turn to come as well. Not only would they try to overwhelm the temple, but they would also cause problems for the other people who were here to pray quietly.

It was not something Auriel wanted to wish upon anyone, so she let the temple people deal with it.

But that did not mean she could not look dissatisfied.
