Chapter 218: Your blessing... they ate it...

"Ask." 

Once Vaan, Elara, and Orion were finally inside their Mansion, Orion glanced at his son and spoke. 

Just from Vaan's expressions alone, he could tell that Vaan had many questions in his head and although even he wasn't very clear about the situation, Orion decided to answer what he could. 

Vaan, momentarily stared at his father, his mind quickly sorting out his thoughts, then finally, he started, 

"Alaric started praying, invoking his God's blessing, correct?" 

"Yes." Orion nodded. 

"The blessing did not work, so he panicked, fell on the flames, and was then saved by me." 

"Why did everyone act like they did when he said the blessing did not work? Why was Alaric alienated at the end?" Vaan questioned and Orion sighed in understanding.
