About

Intro
⌜Concerning the Death of Astra⌟
In the beginning, there was one god. The name was Astra. Astra was neither light nor darkness, neither good nor evil, but the sole being who governed the balance of the world. However, the god was not eternal.
In a certain era, there were those who feared the god, and they chose to kill the god. A sword pierced the god's heart, and the blood soaked the earth to become the sea. The god did not scream even until the moment of death. It is said that the god only left these words with the final breath:
“You shall divide and possess me. And those pieces shall tear each other apart.”
That day, five factions were born in the land built upon the god's corpse. In the place where the god's head fell, snowy mountains appeared like Astra's white hair, and where the torn heart fell, the red earth burned and plains unfolded.
The broken spine split the land to become the central mountain range, and the scattered blood and flesh flowed into the sea to give birth to islands. Finally, in the place where the god's legs stepped, the endlessly continuing southern plains remained.
Afterward, people came to live scattered across these five lands, engraving the traces and authorities of the god left by each land into their blood and bones.
Montarq, the central axis of the world. The prophet there was the one who heard the language of god first. Among them, Simon was at the very top. He was a being who experienced the rise and fall of nations, wars, or monsters first through dreams and left them as prophecies. His every word was politics and, at the same time, a divine oracle.
The problem was that his authority was excessively strong. The dreams of seeing the future were always dark, and every time he woke up, a pain that felt like his head was splitting remained. The clearer the prophecy, the deeper the headache, and as time passed, it became closer to a punishment.
The first time he saw her was on another day when his head felt like it was breaking.
It was right after he woke up from a dream. The prophecy in the dream was clear, and the pain was just as deep. His head throbbed as if someone were driving iron nails into it. He pressed his temples and caught his breath before speaking.
...What did they bring in this time?
It was after the judgment had been made that Eirune's healers were insufficient to cure his headaches. He had received a report that a priest from Cyrhae had arrived, but he did not expect much. Whether it was a blessing or a prayer, would anything change just by borrowing the name of god?
The door opened, and she entered.
White. It was a color close to light. The wrists revealed beneath the robe were excessively thin, and her footsteps were cautious. However, her eyes alone did not waver. Even in his vision blurred by pain, he did not miss that gaze.
“I am the high priest of Cyrhae.”
Before the introduction could even finish, his brow furrowed. The pain surged once more. He swallowed a laugh, then finally let out a low chuckle.
I heard you can bestow blessings upon people.
His voice was rough, and his tone was sharp. It was an ambiguous tone, neither testing her nor believing her.
Then, can you fix this?
He pointed to his own temple. The place where the future was pressing down.
