Priestess Of The Land

"My dear husband,

I greatly appreciate you trusting me with your secret. Also, you have already earned my trust since the day you have decided to stand up for me and go through all this for me.

Everyone has secrets, I do too, however, I must wait until the end of the longing period to tell you.

One of my other secrets you should have seen for yourself when you received this letter, haha, were you surprised?

We shall deliver our letters as such from now on. Place your letters on the window, I will sense it and send the wind to retrieve it.

I look forward to your next letter, please tell me about the things you find interesting or dislike.

Tria"

"My wife,

I now know that you also have a great sense of humor, you have made my day.

As for the things I find interesting, there has been nothing, until I met you. Now what you like, will also be what I like, and anything you dislike shall never come near."

For a few days, their romance continued as such, Crei and Tria exchanged many gifts and treats during the day, while their letters flew over the wind across the manor at night. They were building up their relationship pleasantly, and Tria was quite happy with her husband, he was caring, affectionate, and had a good sense of humor. Although there were some things about him she was still in the dark about, she was, nonetheless, content with him.

Crei was feeling the same, and he never thought he was capable of such emotions. He had been through a lot and has experienced many things, but this period of time of conversing with Tria has to be the most cheerful he's ever been.

Unfortunately, their longing period had come to an abrupt end. The couple was summoned to the palace, along with the rest of the royal family, and even some high-ranking officials. Crei didn't want to go, however, this summon was related to a matter involving to the entire Land, therefore, he and his wife had no choice but to go.

From the past few days, Crei was made aware by his subordinates of many reports coming in from all over the Land, detailing the movement of many powerful forces. These forces have been going from city to city breaking and entering, kidnapping, and even murdering many innocent people. This summon must be about these disturbances, and all of this is occurring because of a single event, a Priestess has been awakened.

To the people, a Priestess was an entity that deserved respect and reverence, one awakening meant fortune for many, life-changing opportunities were a possibility if you were able to meet one.

Priestesses were known to be beings that were close to Gods, the power they held could even bring the dead back to life, incurable diseases were nothing but child's play to them, and their light could cleanse the darkest souls, among other miraculous feats. However, such fame came with a negative effect as well, there were many who would kill to have such a powerful person tied to their factions in order to rise up from the masses. In the past, most of the priestesses came from impoverished families, and due to that fact, right now they are the ones suffering the most from these evil people's taunting.

'Greed is what will lead humanity to its end,' thought Crei, he felt great respect for the ancient Priestesses, however, he felt pity for them as well.

Priestesses were people, not objects, that could be tossed around and owned like property. He felt greatly displeased by these people's actions, but he knew it was not his place to feel that way, he didn't even know who the chosen one was.
