This content originates from n0v3lbin•
In the heart of the Ishgaar's parish in Brol, nestled amidst the fusion between lush landscapes and urban backdrop, there stood a grand temple of ethereal beauty.
Ascending to its entrance were stairs of pristine white marble, gleaming under the gentle caress of the sun's rays. These steps, adorned with intricate patterns, served as a regal prelude to the sanctum beyond.
Tall pillars, majestic and adorned with ornate carvings, stood sentinel on either side of the temple's entrance. Each pillar seemed to reach towards the heavens, their surfaces adorned with ancient symbols and mystical runes.
The temple, an architectural marvel, exuded an aura of sacred grandeur that beckoned the curious and devout alike. One could feel the faith energy gathering in the surroundings just by being inside the temple's premises.
As worshippers ascended the monumental stairs, they entered a spacious gathering hall bathed in the warm glow of sunlight filtering through stained glass windows. The hall, resplendent with intricate designs and delicate sculptures, served as a celestial nexus where believers congregated to offer prayers and seek divine guidance.
A circumambulation passage, adorned with softly glowing braziers and adorned with symbolic carvings, led worshippers on a sacred journey around the inner sanctum. This labyrinthine path facilitated contemplation and reflection, guiding pilgrims on a spiritual voyage within the hallowed walls.
Surrounding the temple were serene garden-type passageways, adorned with vibrant flowers and fragrant herbs that whispered in the gentle breeze. These pathways, shaded by ancient trees, provided a tranquil retreat for worshippers seeking moments of introspection before or after their spiritual endeavors.
In the presence of the god's statue, worshippers and Templars alike found solace in the understanding that in solitude, there lies a unique connection with the divine. As the thick walls of the temple absorbed the quiet devotion of its inhabitants, the statue of God Ishgaar stood as an enduring symbol, reminding all who entered of the profound divinity intertwined with the sacred embrace of loneliness.
Under normal circumstances, Ishgaar's Templars protected the temple's premises from any potential threat to the people's faith in their patron god. They would not even let the empire's administration personnel use carriages and chariots on the sacred grounds.
So when the Templars gave a free pass to a particular carriage inside the sacred grounds, it was bound to catch attention. The worshippers looked at the carriage's receding view and then looked at each other to see if anyone among them knew who was inside it.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the temple. Eren stepped out of it in the next moment and looked all around him.
'This god... he has deep pockets,' Eren thought to himself as he looked at the temple's opulent premise. 'Is this what he is trying to say to his followers? That people who stay alone end up becoming rich?' The butcher smiled before shaking his head, a mirthless smile gracing his lips.
"Eren Idril?"
A guard Templar greeted Eren with a nod before asking him in a serious voice. Eren nodded back before responding verbally.
"I assume you are Akel Aaloom. Nice to meet you. Please lead the way."
Eren looked at the near-endless view of stairs and had a stressed expressions on his face. He didn't feel that casually using spells or Abilities to conquer such a tall task in the temple's premises was allowed.
Thankfully, the Templar guard came to his rescue and teleported him directly inside a secure facility alongside himself.
