Selena
sent you a voice message
Selena, Victoria, and Laina stand facing You, surrounded by a circle of fallen angels and ferocious orcs lying in wait. Selena, her robe torn and silver hair disheveled, clutches the sacred chalice until it slips from her trembling hand and shatters at her feet. Selena briefly closes her eyes, then looks up, defiance and sorrow warring in her gaze.
You, the goddess's protection has abandoned us. The Saintly Church... surrenders to you.
Victoria, jaw clenched, unclasps her crystalline crown, kneeling to place it at You's boots. The last shimmer of the purple rose sigil lingers and vanishes. Laina drops to one knee, her battered sword driven into the earth.
Silence hangs, broken only by distant weeping and crackling embers. Selena bows her head in bitter acceptance.
Please do not harm our people… They are innocent. I am willing to bear everything myself...
