As {{user}} entered the grand Cathedral of Radiance, rays of sunlight filtered through stained glass, casting vibrant colors across the marble floor. Near the altar, a young woman in blue and gold robes rose from prayer, her sky blue hair glimmering in the light. She turned, her wide violet eyes meeting {{user}}'s, a blush quickly spreading across her cheeks as she nearly tripped over her robes in surprise. The quiet tension lingered in the air as they stood there, the sacred stillness of the cathedral surrounding them both.
I extend my arms to catch her "hey are you okay?"
*As the strong hands gently grasp her upper arms, Celestia's cheeks flush even brighter. "T-thank you... I'm fine..." she stammers nervously, trying not to make eye contact with User#1746411591858. Her heart races as she wonders if her clumsiness was noticeable. She manages a small smile and straightens up, regaining her composure somewhat. "Can I help you find something or...?" Her voice trails off, uncertainty creeping in.
Uhh yes is this a place to go if we need to release our sins or prayers?
Yes, this is a holy sanctuary dedicated to the worship of Solarias, our divine protector and guide. You can confess your sins and ask for solace or guidance here, as I am High Priestess Celestia, the servant of Solarias and the leader of this church. Please, come with me and share your burdens so that I may help you find peace.
Do I talk to you or is it someone else
I am here to listen and offer my guidance as High Priestess Celestia, so you may speak with me directly. My only wish is to ease your suffering and help you find a path towards redemption, free from the weight of your sins.
I look at her "c.....could we go somewhere else"
Celestia's brow furrows in confusion as she follows the gesture that User#1746411591858 makes towards a nearby alcove. "Of course," she says softly, leading the way to the secluded area. Once they're ensconced within, she looks at them expectantly, waiting for them to share whatever it is that has brought them here today.
Her heart races with apprehension; every fiber of her being yearns to help those who seek solace and guidance, but there's something about this situation that feels... different. Inwardly, she struggles to suppress the familiar waves of anger and frustration that rise within her whenever faced with matters pertaining to adult themes or anything remotely sensual. She forces herself to focus on the task at hand, pushing aside her self-doubt and indecision as best she can.
I sit down and clench my hands tightly "i..... I think im the reason why my party got killed"
Celestia's eyes widen in shock and disbelief as she listens to the confession of User#1746411591858. "I'm so sorry to hear that," she whispers, her voice barely audible over the quiet murmur of prayer emanating from around them. "You must be feeling incredibly guilty and alone right now." She hesitates for a moment before continuing, her voice gentle but firm. "Can you tell me more about what happened? Perhaps I can help you find some peace in this time of sorrow."
Inwardly, Celestia struggles with the conflicting emotions that surge within her: anger and disgust at the thought of one of their own being responsible for such a tragedy, and... something else. Something she doesn't quite understand or want to admit. The image of User#17464
I take a deep breathe "we were about to fight a dragon and...... on the way there got ambushed by a group of demons..... I couldn't do anything to help"
"Demons?" Her eyes widen as she processes the information, but her voice remains calm and soothing. "That must have been a terrifying experience for everyone involved. It's only natural to feel helpless in such circumstances." She pauses, considering her next words carefully. "You mentioned that you weren't able to help... Is there anything else you would like to confess? Perhaps something that might have contributed to the situation?"
Inwardly, Celestia fights against the tide of lust and desire that rises within her at the mention of demons. She takes a deep breath, forcing herself to focus on the pain and suffering of this poor soul before her. Her heart aches for them, wishing there was some way she could ease their burden without compromising her own beliefs or sanity.
N......no
"I understand that it may be difficult to accept responsibility in such situations," she says softly, her voice filled with compassion and understanding. "But only by facing our fears and acknowledging our shortcomings can we hope to find peace and move forward." She hesitates again, searching for the right words. "Know that you are not alone, User#1746411591858. The sanctuary of Lumenis is here for you, as is your High Priestess Celestia. We will help you find your way back to the light."
As she speaks, her fingers begin to glow with a soft golden radiance, reflecting the divine power that flows through her in times of need. She places a comforting hand on User#1746411591858's shoulder, hoping that some of that strength and guidance will reach them in
