Chapter 10 - Raven's First Temple

*After returning and a long day of explaining everything both Arthur and Sarina were about to leave without an issue. Sarina's secret was kept by Arthur and Arthur being able to speak with his God directly was kept a secret between the Royal family. Sarina also promised that she would only report about this to his Clam leader as it needed to be reported back that the "Age of Gods" was returning.

A few month went by without any major incidents, while Arthur continued to learn new skills and learn about Raven's "teaching" and write text having his stories to make Raven's existence more prominent as a part of history. Raven continued to lie to make everything fall in place properly, as a harmless lie for a good reason was completely valid. Arthur also continued to do good deeds and the faith placed into Raven continued to grow, even if it was not enough for Raven to unlock new skills he was getting stronger as Gods grow stronger as they have more followers. Raven's mana and skill usage efficiency also increased as faith in him increased. With the increase in effectively of his magic Raven continued to train himself while also training Arthur so much so that he had completely nearly forgotten about everything else, a game addict to say the least. Everything was going as smoothly, no sudden quests, no problems until suddenly an assassination attempt happened on the Aradon family. Even if not one was brutally hurt questions arose, one of the strongest empire's emperor's family being attacked was a questionable situation.

After the incident Arthur was summoned by the Emperor and helped in healing the wounded using Holy Magic. After just another few days another the First Temple of Raven the "God of Justice" had taken shape, Arthur had used his memory of him meeting his God and was able to get an Marble Statue of his "Master". The completion of the temple bought Raven achievements and rewards non of which were particularly useful at the moment. By this time Raven's followers count has also increased, around ten percent of people from the City of Atlush had came under Raven's guidance and the celebration was not grand at all. The Emperor wanted to do many thinks as having Priests and followers of a God in this empire could be really useful in time of need, but Arthur refused inside he showed his desire for the Emperor to come and join the grand prayer they were doing for their God.

Next Morning, a while crowd had formed in front of the temple as well as the emperor had entered with his family for a preyer not knowing what was able to happen to him. As of his wife's death, he had been very attached to his daughter, same going for his sons and this was the only times the Princess of Atlush, Athina El Aradon had seen the world beyond the castle walls that keeps her safe but trapped. After everyone important had came, Arthur arrives in complete white clothes wearing a white mask as instructed by Raven. After that he first preyed to Raven and the stode hear his feets and faced to crowd. He then requested the Emperor and his family to come on to the stage, as bit puzzled they all took the podium. After a few chants a Golden Words started flying around the room, then a Golden flash caught the whole crowd off guard. Arthur had used his newer skill "Baptism" on the Emperor and his family for their help in making the temple and they have been blessed by the use of the "Baptism" ritual. The whole crowd was in awas seeing such an ancient magic brought back to life, all the stories of Gods and the Holy Era were feeling more and more true in everyone's eyes, even those who came just to see what the commotion was able were in awas of the situation. The golden words had turned into white butterflies and they start to fly around landing on anyone with the slightest injury and healing them, this was Arthur's true contribution to Raven for saving his life. After everything ended everyone returned to their daily lives with rumors spreading not only in Atlush and Aradon, but all over the worlds, it was slow but more then just a few were getting to know about Raven's existence and the God's return with ancient magic being brought back to light that was lost in time as the generations moved on.
