Gray Heroics: Book 2

Gang War 10

A new day arrives and the school day eventually passes. Sort of returning to a norm of theirs again, Naeth, Galivinth, and Asura travel together to Mount Heaven Splitter, though part ways upon reaching the foot of the mountain. After all, Zack is waiting for the half-cryonean in particular. An agreement to meet at the top soon occurs between the relatives and Galivinth is left to his discussion with the sandy blonde.

"So, what did you want to show me?" Galivinth questions nearly as soon as they're alone.

"Just some insightful details about my findings within the history and culture of Christianity. The church I attend is nearby and has all of the texts I started studying four years ago back when I was fourteen ; I'd like to take you there, if you don't mind." Zack answers with a soft smile. 

"Oh. Yeah, no. I don't mind at all, but how far is it?" Galivinth asks.

"Only two or three minutes away. It's just down this slant and next to the parking lot below." Zack informs while pointing at a downward angle to the right. Curiously, Galivinth walks over to the top of the decline 20 yards away from where they're standing and finds that it is indeed overlooking a tall grassy slope that leads down to a parking lot and building of faith. 

"Huh. Haven't noticed that before for some reason." Galivinth comments with a slight furrow of his brows. 

"Perhaps that's a sign from God. Let's head down, shall we?" Zack speaks as he passes the other male by and takes the lead in walking down the slope.

"Oh! I don't think I asked you for your name yet, have I?" The older male questions while briefly glancing over his shoulder.

"I don't think so, but my bad for not sharing it yesterday. It was just a lot to take in at the time. My name is Galivinth Carrenmale." The half-cryonean answers.

"Galivinth... Quite a unique name you have there! Sounds like something straight out of medieval literature." Zack remarks with a tone of fascination. 

"Yeah, I can see why you'd say that. It does sound like an old ancient name passed down from over six-hundred years ago." Galivinth concurs with a mild grin. Soon, the two youths reach the two-story tall church and enter. It's within that Galivinth sees a staircase to his far left, double doorway that leads into the church's service hall straight ahead, a water fountain underneath the structure of the tall staircase, and two bathrooms at either side of a wide pathway that gives way to a short flight of stairs heading downward. In front of the service hall stands three adults conversing. Judging by the dark and almost casually formal clothes of one, Galivinth suspects him to be the pastor of the church. A man with a tall and rather muscular frame, as well as fair skin and sandy blonde hair similar to Zack's, the older man's wavy hair is far, far longer than the former's. 

It's also shortly after their arrival, the three inside are concluding their talk with warm smiles and kind words of departure. With that conclusion, the sandy blonde man turns his attention toward them by chance and approaches with a slightly wider smile.

"Good afternoon, you two! What's my young apprentice up to today, and who is this lad accompanying you?" The man asks.

"Good day to you, as well, father. This here is Galivinth and I've brought him here with me today to discuss the history of Christianity." Zack introduces his new acquaintance while also gesturing a hand toward the half-cryonean.
