Chapter 497: Mildly annoyed skeleton
“I was lost in my thoughts after Dopple translated the thing on a temple… Did I miss anything?” Sofia asked after sitting down in the air.
“Aside from your dragon grandma threatening my talking bra into revealing that the language it and the fairy are talking is named Eddarinian? Not much,” Alith recounted.
“Eddarinian? That’s a familiar name…” Saying so, a number of skeletal hands appeared out of the ground and grabbed Sofia’s ankles. In the spirit realm, the Fae’s soul was quite strange, like a bunch of smaller souls piled together around a core to form a cohesive whole.
Eddarinian dark arts of soul grafting. I see.
“Anyone knows anything about it?” she asked.
Erredis answered her, “Although this is my first time hearing it spoken, I know a bit about the Eddarinians. They were a religious cult, basically. It’s hard to date them exactly but they were already ancient history when I learned about them.”
“A religious cult? Worshiping who?” Astelia asked, curious about this cult she had never heard of.
“Worshiping what, would be more exact,” Erredis started to explain, “from what I understand, they worshiped a thing they called ‘the great tapestry of fate’. They believed that the universe was moving inexorably toward a singular great goal, and that it was their duty to repay for the gift of life given to them by bringing about the advent of this great goal as early as possible.”
“It sounds like many people could have an issue with that, depending on what the ‘great goal’ is,” Sofia analyzed, “Any clue on what that was or how they disappeared?”
