85: Are you shocked - Part 1

The holy sanctuary… or rather, the pit of darkness Auriel was standing inside, was no longer a safe space. She knew that she should be heading back by now and not wasting her time standing here.

But her feet felt frozen as she kept looking at the altar in front of her. Her brain kept telling her that there was much more to gain from this place than she first expected.

So Auriel got to work and started to check the place out. She had a feeling that she would be able to find something worthwhile here.

Even when nothing seemed to be working out for her, she did not give up and decided to look around even harder.

Sometime in between overturning the altar and going through the items left behind, she heard the sound of footsteps heading her way, and Auriel prepared herself for a confrontation with whoever was approaching.

However, the ones who walked past the threshold were Carol, along with other priestesses from the temple.
