Under Peter urges, the guys got up from their beds while muttering the complaints.

They were really tired from yesterday action. Although they were already trained and adapted to wearing the heavy armors for battles, it wasn’t mean for a period longer than two hours.

Usually, the battle doesn’t last that long. Although it was the first time, they impressively stayed with the armors for six or seven hours straight. When they got back, they were already almost at their limit.

They complained but they still honestly got out of their beds fast and quiet.

Five minutes later, they guys were already in comfortable daily clothes and ready for the breakfast.

They quietly walked down along the stone stairs and went to the cafeteria building at the back.

When they entered into the dining hall, it was already crowded with church personnel and guests.

Peter held the tray and asked the middle age woman at the counter, “Morning. What is today’s menu?”

“We are having standard British breakfast with ehh potato-pea curry and sweet beef soup. The curry is prepared by our volunteer indian cook Mr. Musa. He recommends you to eat the curry with bread.”

Although Peter felt doubtful, he still honestly took the tray full of foods and sat down at a free table.

He first put a slice of tomato on one of the fried bread, put baked beans on the tomato, bacon as another layer and then he put another piece of fried bread on the top.

Holding his sandwich with both hands, he took big bites and quickly finished it in no time. After that, he made another one with the rest and ate it quickly.

Then, he cut the fried sausage and fried eggs slowly and drank the sweet beef soup while eating them.

Unlike him, Ben who sat down on his opposite was just eating the thing one by one without a certain order. When he felt greasy, he sipped the sweet beef broth or the coffee. Beside him was Ronald.

Peter decided to not look at Ronald after seeing him dipping the hotdog he just made into the curry.

Finally after finishing the british breakfast and also the beef soup, Peter took the extra bread and started eating it with potato-pea curry. He felt that it was very flavorful and tasty.

Peter secretly decided to try this curry and bread combination later at home.

When the group came out of the cafeteria building, Peter led them to the chapel. It’s a big building.

The huge hall full of wooden benches. At the other end, there is an altar with a vivid stone statue as background. The statue is of a graceful woman and nearly six meters tall, head closed to the ceiling.

She is holding a big marble ball with her both hands and looking down at the hall with a soft smile.

When Peter and his guys entered the hall, there were already a lot of people in it.

They sat down on the free benches and looked up at the statue.

“In life, one must remember the kindness. The kindness of strangers, the kindness of friends, the kindness of relatives, the kindness of teachers, the kindness of parents, the kindness of Gods, and finally the kindness of mother Tera and Father Asteios.

Even animals remember the kindness and they shall return it if the conditions are ripe.

Human beings, when you choose to neglect the kindness, you will become a being worse than animals.

A random stranger who selflessly helped you without any expectation for a return. The love, it is as great as your parents who gave birth to you, raised you and taught you. Don’t neglect it.

The mother Tera who is always there for you even if there is no one else for you in your worst time. The father Asteios who created this boundless universe and who is protecting it quietly for you. Be thankful. Pray for them. Pay them back.

It’s completely fine if you’re just a beast without any intelligence to neglect these kindness.

If you’re a human being, you must know these and you must not neglect the kindness you owe.

Be thankful. Always be thankful. Some are always greater than others. Like mother Tera.

Even the Gods’ forsaken lives, mother Tera is still there for you. She loves all of us.

Her unconditional love is immeasurable and limitless.

She is always there with us. The air you breathe, the land under your feet, the soil with foods, the water for life, even sheltering us from the harsh environment of the universe, the poisonous rays of damaged Sun. Even the sinners, Mother Tera doesn’t abandon them. She’s always there for us.”

The clear voice of preacher spread across the whole hall. Obviously, there were no mic and loudspeakers. Everyone lowered their heads and praised the origin mother Tera sincerely.

Peter was no exception. He lowered his head and said softly with his right hand touching his chest, “She who protects her children from the harsh universe. She who provides her children with a good living environment, foods, water, air and everything. She who never abandons her children.

Mother Tera, the origin of us, you’re always the greatest being in my heart. A son of Steller, a shield and a sword, I shall protect you with all I have and eliminate the traitors and heretics who hurt you.”

After that, Peter tapped on his chest several times and drew the emblem of sun. Then, he took out the necklace under his shirt and hold the metal emblem of sun.

Peter kept lowering his head and said, “Great Eternal Sun God. You rule over light. You are the symbol of mercy, the symbol of sacredness, the symbol of life. You represent the untaintable holiness.

I, a son of Steller, a guardian spirit, a loyal guard, a shield that defends the innocents from the evil and the damned, a sword that cuts down all the evil regardless of their identities, pray for your greatness.

Noblest existence in the sea of stars, the source of light and the origin of life, merciful Evershining Eternal Sun God, Father Steller, your will is our duty. I repent for saving a little girl called Luna.

I pray for your grace.

I pray for your guidance.

I pray for your protection.

Grant me of mercy and lend me your holy power to fight against the evil beyond saving.”

After the prayer ended, Peter raised his head and looked up at the statue and said softly, “Mother Tera bless Steller and guardian spirits. We shall live with our duty and spread this glory.”

“Those who have to kill without your intentions purposefully to gain something from it, don’t blame yourselves. Don’t step into the darkness. Stay pure and remember about mother Tera.

Spread the love, do your best and repent your sins with the goodness. Live for mother Tera.”

While the preacher was still preaching, Peter stood up and walked out of the hall.

After he closed the door and turned around, he saw Lady Rosewood with Angel Cyris talking and walking towards him. Lady Rosewood was surprised to see Peter but she still calmly greeted him.

“Good morning, Mr. Peter. By the way, may I know the name of lord you worship?”

Peter bowed slightly at Angel Cyris who stopped in front of him and was smiling at him. Then, he looked at Lady Rosewood’s pale blue eyes and said truthfully, “I serve the Evershining Sun Steller. We are the knights under the lord and titled as guardian spirits.”

Then, he looked at Angel Cyris and said, “My Lady Cyris, I was about to look for you to discuss about something. It’s actually that I want to investigate a cult and I wonder if you can accompany us.”

Angel Cyris laughed softly and said, “This Lady Rosewood also just requested the same thing.”

Then, she calmed down and said with a serious face, “You’re right in this matter. When going after those fallen and heretic cults, we must be cautious and never let your guard down. Wait me a bit.”

After talking that, she closed her eyes for a while and the scene fell into silence.

Peter and Lady Rosewood stood still and stayed quiet during that. When Angel Cyris reopened her golden eyes a minute later, she looked at Peter and said, “I just talked with Father and he allowed me to use all my strength if necessary. This trip is going to be a dangerous and tricky one so I called Venus to go together. You’re absolutely right to ask me out otherwise you might not be able to come back alive.”

Peter trembled slightly but he recovered quickly and said certainly, “I trust that Lord will not standby and watch us die helplessly against the strong heretic transcender.”

At that time, Ben led Ronald and the rest and came out of the prayer hall. They happened to hear Peter’s words. Just when they wanted to ask what’s going on, they heard Angel Cyris’s next words and it made them trembled with various bad premonitions.

“I’m afraid that our enemy is no longer in the scope of transcender. It could be a fallen demigod or even a heretic evil god. Moreover, the amount of heretics might be large so we need to call more people from Saint Julia fort. This is not a thing we can handle with our several people.”
