Chapter Text
Once, there lived an archbishop, the younger sister of the archbishop, and a mercenary. The sister was a youthful, carefree spirit who yearned for adventure and was often too curious for her own good. Oh, how bright and cheerful she was. One day, she met the traveling mercenary and they fell in love. Alas, she was not allowed to fall in love, for it was against everything she had been taught. Eventually, the archbishop found out about their affair and expelled them from them church, claiming it to be the most merciful course of action. The mercenary and sister disappeared, only to resurface years later when the archbishop receives a letter. Out of impulse, the archbishop rushes off to the location in the letter, only to find her sister in dire condition. Disease had taken over her just as it had the mercenary. The archbishop begs her sister to return with her to the church so that she may be healed, but the sister refuses, only to ask one request of the archbishop. A small hand reaches out towards the archbishop. There beside the now-dead sister laid a small creature. A cursed, impure creature of two sinners who thought they could go against the teachings of the Goddess. One responsible for the death of the sister. Holding the creature close to her chest, the archbishop returned to the church, promising to cleanse this impurity and prevent this from ever happening again.
