章 45: Scorching Envoys of Cremation

Following Mithras' departure from the headmistress' chambers, a new set of incomprehensible events swept through the Red Cloud Theocracy, throwing its leadership into nightmares and depression. 

One after the other, junior and senior priests started dropping in packs of five and ten, causing overwhelming chaos to spread throughout the city-size temple's walls. 

The same red patches spread across the victims' skins. But while at first, the leadership wished to focus on the missing pythons and stolen items, when elder priests started dropping as well, their priorities made a 180 spin.

It wasn't long before they noticed the Headmistress' situation—a crippling blow to the theocracy's morale. Now, the elder council gathered on top of a red-stone cathedral, led by their leader: Grand Priest Elijah.
