I went to the temple in the early morning, hoping to see Silith.
"Out of the way, cat. No one wants you here."
As expected, people were upset I was there.
"Hey, cat, over here."
It was the woman at the gate.
"You can stand next to me."
"Why are you being nice?'
She laughed.
"You are interesting to both me and Jerico."
"You talked to Jerico?"
"Of course, we are in a trade agreement."
"Have you ever talked to Silith?"
"It's interesting that you refer to a god by name alone."
"I have my reasons."
"Of course, but yes, I have met him. He is very gracious."
"Interesting."
"Yeah, me and him have actually traded a lot."
We then sat in silence as a carriage pulled up. A knight opened the door, and a man, radiating power emerged.
"It's him."
Silith walked forth with a calm smile. He waved at everyone and saw the merchant.
"It's good to see you again, Amelia."
"You as well, Lord Silith."
"And who's yo-"
He froze. He instantly recognized me.
"Incredible that you are still alive."
His tone shifted, and Amelia and everyone else present noticed it.
"Lord Silith."
"Amelia, I would suggest moving a bit."
Amelia, confused, moved away.
"It's been a while."
"It has."
Jerico ran out.
"Lord Silith, what is happening?"
"Jerico, I'm handling it."
He glared at me and released his aura. The city started shaking.
"What's happening?!"
Only Jerico knew exactly what was happening.
"Why is Lord Silith challenging her?"
"Challenging?"
"Yes, Amelia. That aura is a threat. A challenge."
I smiled and released my aura in response. The goodness clashed with shadow, and we glared. Then our auras faded and Silith laughed.
"It certainly has been a while. Come in, let's get you something to eat."
The people looked in shock.
"What's happening?"
"Lord Silith is friends with a beastkin?"
Jerico was the most confused of all.
"Lord, what's going on? Who is the catkin?"
And Silith laughed.
"This is no catkin. Her name is Kala. She's a fellow god."
Everyone who mocked me immediately blanched.
"Yes."
"Why do you appear as one of Ausar's?"
