"You.... Are you an angel?" he coughed angrily and started bleeding through his mouth "I... am sorry that you had to carry this burden, milady, just... beware the dem..." he gurgled and completed, "ons..." being those his last words before dying. Aliana, knowing that she couldn't do anything else, performed a chant of faith for his soul to be sent to Ermetia or Heaven.... Being the chant made, she closed his eyes, and continued her path to Hidana. She was panicking now, not trusting even her shadow, she sprinted fast enough and never realized the other dangers that could be on her way.... She ran and ran, and fell off a cliff... When she stopped rolling in the deep, she passed out, knocked....
When she regained consciousness, she was in Hidana, for her luck, it happens a Priest found here on his way to Esmül, a city west of Coldwater, known by the College of Esmül, in which the priest was going to attend to gain further knowledge of the use of all magiks. She at the moment felt confused, and asked a few questions to the Priest:
- "Where am I? Who are you?" – Said Aliana as she got up a makeshift bed on the floor.
- "My name is Cornelius, I found you unconscious and picked you up, also you are in the ''Mistress of the Cave" Inn, in Hidana." – Cornelius said handling a Yimen noodles soup to her.
-"Thank you. But I need to get going, I have a job to do in Hidana Cave." – Suddenly Cornelius interrupted her.
- "H-Hidana Cave? There's a demon there! Are you crazy?!" – He spilled the soup on the floor. Aliana suddenly stood up and said in a serious and almost cold tone, "Stop the drama. It's something I need to do."
- "But why?! I am a priest and I don't approach that place!" Cornelius panicked.
- "So.... You are afraid eh? Now I know why they choose Demon Hunters like me instead of petty priests...." Aliana said taunting Cornelius. Cornelius rapidly asked, "You are.... A—" "Ugh yes Corn, I am, not get out of the way before I smack your face, and thank you again for taking care of me!"
