It wasn’t uncommon for Fiersome to hear songs around the shrine. In fact it was usually a daily occurrence. Today was no different as he heard one of the priestesses singing her hymns to her dragon. He walked along the path to see who the voice belonged to and saw one of his brother’s priestesses.
Lily, he recalled, thinking back to the employee documents he’d read through for the shrine.
He leaned against a tree, listening to the words and wondering if Terrable was as well. If he were being kind he’d admit she had a nice voice, but it wasn’t in his nature to be as such. Instead, he waited for her to notice him which didn’t take too long.
“Considering I’m the High Priest of Fiersome, I don’t think so,” Fiersome said with a smirk. To think he’d be making wishes to anyone was preposterous, but he had an alias to uphold.
“I’m Firenze d’Oro, owner of this shrine,” he introduced himself to the woman. Apparently she wasn’t privy to that knowledge which made him curious. While he’d normally make a comment about it, he’d extend a gesture of goodwill towards his brother’s followers. At least until they’ve bothered him otherwise.
A pretentious smile spread across his lips as he spoke, “And you are Lily Brunel. Priestess of the the Land Dragon, Terrable.”
The High Priest! How did I not know that? ...No wait I remember! I met with him once, but I haven’t seen him since I don’t think.
Lily wasn’t sure how she felt about someone owning a shrine. She definitely didn’t feel right being paid for her duty as a priestess, but truthfully she needed the money.
“Please pardon me for my forgetfulness, but I remember now,” Lily bowed her head a bit, asking to be pardoned. “....Yes that’s me. Lily, the devoted Priestess of He who has gifted us this beautiful earth.” She often couldn’t stop herself from bragging on her god. He was the creator of Earth after all.
