"What exactly were you doing in there?" Shanti finally asked, folding her arms.
Auriel exhaled sharply.
"Investigating, "There was a stronghold of dark magic hidden beneath the surface. A group was trying to create a new goddess—one born from corruption. I managed to stop it before things got worse, but…Something else was there. A presence. It was intelligent and aware of my interference."
She admitted, her expression darkened.
Shanti's expression remained unreadable, but Auriel could tell she was processing the information carefully. After a long pause, the celestial goddess finally spoke.
"This is troubling. The divine realms have been… restless lately. Some of the gods have noticed distortions in the flow of fate. But if what you say is true, this isn't just a disturbance. This is a direct act against the divine order."
She admitted.
Auriel nodded.
