Confronting the Church

Riku's jaw tightened, a cold fury simmering within him. The blatant corruption, the callous disregard for suffering… it was a perversion of everything the church should have stood for.

However, he took a deep breath. The intention was not to fight with the church, but to understand more about the creep. So, he did not say anything for now.

Riku guided Lila and a still-hooded Elara towards one of the few occupied cots in their section, where a tired-looking priestess was examining an elderly man.

After a few minutes, the priestess finished, handing the man a small vial. "One dose of Sunpetal Draught. Take it as instructed. May the Light guide your recovery." She turned, her gaze falling on the trio. "Next. What ails you?"

Riku stepped forward with Elara. "Our friend here is suffering from the Crimson Creep. We were hoping to secure a dose of the Sunpetal Draught for her."
