Black Moon Village...
Urim felt oppression, He lifted his head in confusion, needing to ascertain what the hell was coming from behind. He knew it was only his brother that could be in that direction as it was the Lord's manor, but he had to make sure. He didn't. But he wanted to. And so he did. it was then He saw it, heard its steps before it came into view. An Orc with short black hair, holding a battle axe and gretsword on each arm. He had a black cloth around his waist like a battle skirt, three goblin skulls stuck to it just above his nether region and a furry Black battle cloak over his shoulders, barely covering his arms as he showed off the weapons.
"Urim!!...I have something for you" He said, but the one called remained in a daze as his mind still registered the Orc as a threat. It was only when the Orc got closer that Urim sigh in relief as he stared intently at the Orc before him, thunder-voiced, Red iris, condescending smirk and a monstrous aura, the Orc reclined on the tree just few steps in front of him, as he stared at him with silent precision, the rattle of the Beads made of Olog's bones hanging around his neck immediately made him look past the fear.
"Brother" Urim said with both relief and excitement, making Alex confused.
"This sword is for you...use it well" Alex watched the orc's expression with interest as he stretched out his hand to hand over 'Jur'l'.
Urim received it with a solemn gaze as he alternated between the sword and Alex before resolutely tossing away his Old sword and began swinging it to get a feel of it.
When he was done, he spoke firmly, "I will not fail you brother".
"Good..." Alex said with a smile.
Tsssssss....
A chilling wind soon blew across the village as all torches were snuffed out and the night became eerily quiet.
Alex felt a chill down his spine as he turned to look at the temple in the distance.
"Urim...no need to stand guard for today, go and discuss with Dabok, let him relay my instructions" Immediately, Alex gave out an order with a serious expression before heading towards the temple.
Not long after he left, all the torches mysteriously came back on, when Urim saw this, he looked at Alex's retreating back through a narrowed gaze.
"I'll get stronger brother, and I'll protect you like you always did for me" those were the last words he said before heading towards Dabok's location in big strides.

Alex stood before the bronze doors of the stony temple, sculptures of different women in different poses were made on the wall's exterior, reminding Alex that he was about to meet a God!, one of the most powerful Gods in Luegad and it so happened to be the one that was the most unpredictable.
With deep breaths, he placed his hands on the Bronze double door and slowly pushed open.
ORhaaaaniiiii....ssssssss...
An eerie voice came from within, saying 'Orhani(Unkown soul)' repeatedly as it echoed within the massive interior of the temple.
"You came...hihihihihihehehe"
Clack!!(SFX)
Light mysteriously appeared, almost blinding Alex before it died down to an acceptable range.
Before him lay an empty Hall with nothing but an altar with a white marbled statue of a woman in her early twenties.
she had a long hair and was dressed in a gown. it was sculpted in such a way that, it was looking straight at those who walked into the Hall.
"Your staring" a voice whispered into his left ear and he immediately tried to turn but found nothing, so he faced the alter once more. but there was something different, a woman was sitting sideways with her legs crossed as she stared at the statue on the altar.
Alex looked at her warily as he didn't notice anyone else here before, as he went around her, It was her eyes more than anything that gave her away, even though she presently manifested with an olive skin and black hair.
In the Novel, there was only one way to find the Goddess and her champion even though she shape shifted into something or someone else and that was her glowing Green eyes.
Despite knowing this, He was mesmerized by the deep swirls of Green that colored her pupils. The black mascara on her half-opened eyelids added a smoky and dramatic look. With her green-colored eyes and long eyelashes, her eyes looked like a cat's.
The cat-like eyes seemed to look through the dark recesses that was usually hidden behind a mask, to one's soul.
Her feline features somehow matched her personality- silent and alert but almost unnoticed, filled with mischief and cunning. When her stare soon fell upon him, but he didn't look away like others did, because he knew one secret, she hated it when people looked away.
Immediately, he felt that she was looking at his very soul as she had a subtle frown on her face.
"Poor thing...your soul is too fragmented, how are you still alive though?..., how were able to handle my divine mana so quickly, it was as if you were expecting it" She said.
"..."
"Ah right...Do you know who I am?"
"Mother of the Night, Queen of Eternal Darkness, Whisperer of souls, The one who stands on the Moon, The great Overseer, M..." Alex began to list her titles but was soon cut off.
"Yes yes yes ...But you haven't answered my question, I said, do you know I am" She stated in an indifferent manner but her voice soon distorted at the end as her face warped with black tendrils that seemed like worms crawling underneath her skin, Her green eyes glowed nefariously with the darkness filling the Hall once more.
Alex remained motionless not by choice but because of the Huge pressure that poured down on him, This reminded him of whom he was talking to!!!. this was a person who was born as a God to begin, if he was to say it in another way, it would be that she was the only true God in Luegad!!.
Even the so called God of the sun Ragol, had been a mortal who had somehow evolved to an arch god!.
This was how it played out when she chose the Antagonist, The latter had been in a cave at the time and found the Goddess recuperating from an earlier ambush.
He acted arrogantly and tried to take advantage of her, but when she released her aura, the antagonist almost turned into meat paste. when he thought he would die, she asked him a question.
And that was, 'Do you know who I am?'.
In fact, she always asked this question whenever she appeared in the novel but no one seemed to know the answer. When the antagonist failed to answer, she made him her champion and cursed him so that his soul was always being gnawed at by creatures of the abyss, the only way to elevate the pain was to conquer!!.
'What kind of logic was that??!' Alex scoffed in his mind.
After thinking of all this, Alex decided to bite the bullet and said, "The one and only true Goddess, Ayaseh!".
Ssssss....
Everything returned to normal as she stared at him wide eyed, obviously surprised and a deafening silence lingered in the Hall.
