10:32 a.m.
Somewhere in Luxen City.
Lily was standing in front of a group of children sitting on the floor.
It wasn't the same children from yesterday because they were in a different Charity House.
"Children, please say hello and welcome my new friend Priestess Vivian. She wants to share a wonderful story with all of you," she said with a bright smile.
Vivian, who was standing with Airie and a Knight on the side, stepped forward and went over to Lily's side.
"Hello, children~ My name is Priestess Vivian~ It's nice to meet you all~" she said with a bright smile.
"It's nice to meet you too, Priestess Vivian!" the children replied.
As Vivian nodded while still wearing a bright smile on her face, Lily stepped to the side.
"And how is everyone~?"
"We're fine, thank you, Priestess Vivian."
Clap.
Vivian clapped her hands.
"Now who's ready to listen to a story~? I want to see everyone to raise their right hand if they're ready~"
All of the children raised their right hand but there were some who only did a half-raise.
"I want to see them higher now~"
The children who only did a half-raise began to raise their hands.
"Come on, up, up~ Higher~"
When Vivian noticed all of the children with their right hand raised up high, she nodded.
"Okay, please put them down~"
The children lowered their hands
"I'm going to tell you now the story His Holiness, the First Priest, First Light Saint and the founder of the Temple of Priests, Honored Priest N'eua and his hero friends who fought a powerful Demon~
"One day, Honored Priest N'eua was traveling with his companions -- a Noble Knight Warrior named Sir Lord Knight Ga'al, a Noble Wizard named Lady Kat'zea and a Hunter named Master Lar'el. They were walking down this road when they happened to stumble upon a little girl who was all alone and crying.
"Honored Priest N'eua and his companions immediately rushed over to the little girl and asked her why was she crying. She told them that her village was attacked by a group of Demons two days ago and they enslaved the people there. She wasn't captured because she was picking up herbs and mushrooms for her family in the forest when the Demons attacked. And now, she has been waiting at the side of the road, hoping that she would be able to meet people and ask for help.
"Honored Priest N'eua and his companions were impressed by the little girl's bravery and her love for her fellow villagers. Because even though she was only a little girl, she went out on her own to search for help to save her village. And so they swore to the little girl that they would destroy all of the Demons at her village and save the people.
"When Honored Priest N'eua and his companions finally arrived at the village, they were shocked to see the village was in a very poor condition. All living beings, humans and animals, were treated very poorly by the Demons. Some of the humans were cursed by the Demons, transforming them into monsters controlled by the Demons to harm and eat humans and animals.
"Honored Priest N'eua and his companions immediately defeated all of the Demons and the monsters. And after freeing the village, the villagers asked Honored Priest N'eua and his companions if they also defeated the leader of the Demons.
"Hearing the question, Honored Priest N'eua and his companions were left confused because as far as they knew, they defeated all of the Demons in the village.
"But when Honored Priest N'eua and his companions asked the villagers if they were going to rebuild the village or move to another place, that's when the villagers gave them a confused look. Because it turns out, none of the people they just saved were from the village. In fact, they don't even know anyone who was born and raised in that village. All they know is that they were all lured to come to the village by a little girl whom they met on the road.
"And just when they learned that, the little girl that Honored Priest N'eua and his companions met earlier appeared. The rescued people immediately recognized her and said that it was her who lured them to this village and she was the leader of the Demons.
"The little girl laughed and then transformed into a Demon and fought with Honored Priest N'eua and his companions.
"And after Honored Priest N'eua and his companions defeated the leader of the Demons, they all helped the people and animals they saved to move to another place.
"The end."
Clap!
Vivian clapped her hands.
"Now, children, who here can tell me the moral lessons of the story?"
A boy raised his hand.
Vivian tried to recall the name of the boy.
"Sean?"
Sean immediately got up.
"Demons eat people!"
Vivian nodded.
"Very good, Sean!" she said and then continued sweeping her gaze among the children as the boy named Sean sat down. "Who else can tell me the lessons of the story?"
Another boy raised his hand.
"Yes, Dylan?"
Dylan got up.
"Demons trick people and harm people and animals!"
"Very good, Dylan!"
Clap!
After Dylan sat down, Vivian clapped her hands.
"Just as Sean and Dylan said, Demons eat people and also love to trick people. And to do that, they have the power to transform into anything. They also have the power to curse someone else, turning them into monsters and controlling them.
"So children, if you know anyone who is a demon, a demon-kin, a demon-worshipper, they're part of the Cult of Infinity, or anyone that's causing pain and suffering to others, immediately stay away from them and report them to the proper authorities like the Temple of Priests Office and the Knights Chapters Office. Because if you don't report them, they will only hurt and curse you and your loved ones or the people you care about.
"And if you do report these demons, demon-kins, demon-worshippers, members of the Cult of Infinity, and anyone who is causing pain and suffering to others, you will be protected by the Temple of Priests and Knights Chapters and you will receive a reward of 20 platinum coins that can help you, your family and your friends can use to buy a lot of nice things and delicious food.
"So what are you going to do if you encounter these demons, demon-kins, demon-worshippers, members of the Cult of Infinity, and anyone who is causing pain and suffering to others?"
"Report them to the Temple of Priests Office and Knights Chapters Office!" the children replied.
Clap!
Vivian clapped her hand.
"Very good! And also make sure to distance yourself from them because they can curse you, turn you into a monster and control you."
"Yes, Priestess Vivian!" replied the children.
Vivian nodded and then turned to Lily.
Lily stepped forward and clasped her hands.
"Thank you, Priestess Vivian, for that beautiful and wonderful story!" she said and turned to the children. "We all enjoyed it didn't we?"
"Yes, Priestess Lily!"
"Everyone, I would like to introduce you to my next friend, Priestess Airie!"
As Airie, who was carrying a basket with a crystal inside it, headed over to Lily's side, Vivian went back to the Knight's side.
"Hello, children~! My name is Priestess Airie~! It's nice to meet you all~!" Airie said as she waved her hand and flashed a very kind and warm smile.
"Hello, Priestess Airie! It's nice to meet you too!" the children replied.
Airie took out the crystal from the basket she was carrying with a piece of cloth.
"Can anyone here tell Priestess Airie what this crystal is?" Lily asked.
