" Are there any questions? "
Tom asks the room. Everyone remains silent, so Tom gets up as he concludes the meeting.
" Excellent. Let's get some shut eye before we go back out tomorrow. "
He says before grabbing the book and leaving the room. Everyone else then stands up together and Roary approaches you as Gareth and Reylesh walk off to do their own thing. Mimi stands close at your side as Roary asks you a question.
" So? What do you think about Voldoor? "
You look back at him with an exhausted glare as you give him an answer.
" You were absolutely right about the people here. The stuff I've seen tonight alone was enough to make me despise this city and everything it stands for. "
Roary gives you a satisfied smile as he puts his hand on your shoulder, giving a response to your answer.
" What did I say, eh? Now you understand why our King was so hesitant on having his people worship The Dark Ones. If our verse wasn't at stake, then there's absolutely no way that he would've gone along with your plan to save us. "
Reylesh then comes back into the main room with a smile on her face. You can obviously tell that she was eavesdropping on your conversation as she approaches.
" Yes, I have to thank you for having the other half of Aria pray to me. Their prayers and worship gives me strength, and I've felt more powerful here recently than I ever have before... "
Reylesh then looks up at Roary with an attitude as she speaks to him.
" Although, I've noticed that there are those who still refuse to worship me even after I've become deified in their lands. How incredibly reckless it must be to put their own trivial morals above the well-being of their universe... "
Roary stares at Reylesh coldly as he responds.
" So you're Reylesh, huh? I'm kinda disappointed that the first God I'd get to meet is the one that I don't care about. "
You can feel tension building between the both of them, so you interrupt to calm things down.
" Right now you're on the same side, so let's keep things cordial between the two of you, okay? "
Mimi yawns and Reylesh immediately looks at her, switching her attention towards her to make conversation. Roary scoffs and walks away.
" Well you must be Mimi! It's nice to meet you! I'm Reylesh. Have you ever met a Goddess before? "
Mimi nods her head as she responds.
" Yeah, I got to meet Faerah and Aatu and Noeh and Izael back when Star Faller was trying to save Mama. All of their realms are really pretty, especially Faerah's! "
" Oh? So you've been to Immortal Realms too? You're really a lucky girl. Most mortals only ever get to see one, and that's when they go to the afterlife. "
Reylesh says in a friendly tone as she smiles.
As you look at them talking, you notice that Reylesh is barely taller than Mimi, and you're surprised that she's behaving herself like Tom asked of her when you were in the elevator.
Mimi continues talking to Reylesh.
" Mama and Papa are in the afterlife with Faerah right now, actually. After this is over, Star Faller said that I can see them again as much as I want! Now that I think about it, Mama wouldn't want me talking to you. She said that you're bad and you make people do bad things... "
