Chapter 148: Kalosia (2)
“Have you calmed down?” Ketal asked Shadranes.
“Ah, yes...,” she replied with some difficulty.
It took her a long while to collect herself. She had been so flustered at first that she couldn’t even form a proper sentence, and she needed almost an hour just to settle down.
“So, Kalosia wants to see me in person?” Ketal asked her once more.
“Yes,” she said, gulping nervously. “They wish to speak with you directly.”
“Does that happen often?”
“No,” she answered without hesitation.
Gods reside high in the celestial realm, and ever since the ancient war against the demons, it has been exceedingly rare for them to intervene directly in the mortal realm. Every believer dreamt at least once in their life of standing face-to-face with their god, but the vast majority never managed to fulfill that dream.
“I’ve only had the chance once,” Shadranes continued. That single encounter occurred back when she was chosen to serve as the Saintess.
Since then, she had only heard Kalosia’s voice but never actually met them in person again. Even as a Saintess, being in the very presence of her god was so rare that she had experienced it only once.
Now, the fact that someone who wasn’t even a believer was being offered such an opportunity seemed almost unthinkable.
Shadranes spoke cautiously. “If you want to refuse, there is no problem at all. Kalosia also said that you can choose to meet them or not.”
