Kapitel 349: A Memorial

"Can you tell me what happened?" I asked in a soft voice that sounded completely different than before. My voice was dripping with power and anger but somehow held a sense of warmth to it.

Elise nodded as she stared at me with wonder in her eyes, probably from the healing magics that were causing her body to knit itself back together. "I was walking home one night minding my own business when some women grabbed me. I tried to fight back, but they hit me and took me here, where they burned my face and started doing all kinds of things to me."

Tears fell out of Elise's eyes as she stopped talking, but I lifted up her chin so that she was looking right into my golden eyes. "It is okay now, Elise, because I am here," I said softly, and then I felt my chest start to tighten. It was like my heart was breaking, but I knew that it wasn't possible for a god to feel such things.
