"That is actually my goal. Although, I have no idea if I am on the right path or not. I really wish I could find the time to go drake hunting. That way, I could add more dragon to my evolution and increase my chances."

Krenocia says "Why doesn't that surprise me? Where would you even go to hunt drakes?"

"The land bridge."

Seronia says "What makes you think there are any drakes there?"

"Just a hunch. I once killed a drake that seemed like it had been chased out of the land bridge. Besides, even if there are no drakes, there are other strong beasts that I could hunt to become stronger."

Krenocia says "That is true, those are wild lands. Who knows what might be hiding there."

"Anyway, for now I should probably get to the empire and see if I can find some angels to hunt. If I don't hurry, Mythica will hunt them all down. Wait, I remember you saying that each god has their own personal domain, right? And each pantheon has a shared domain?"

Seronia says "That's correct. Why?"

"Well, since Holos was planning to betray his pantheon, he most likely has all his angels in his personal domain. Is there any chance that you could sneak me into his domain??"

Seronia says "Ash! That's insane! Holos would kill you instantly!"

Krenocia says "No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't be able to see Ash unless he actually runs into him. Although, it is still an insane idea!"

"No, wait. Hear me out. With my shapeshifting, I can turn myself into an angel. That way, I can move around without arousing suspicion and pick only the fights that I can win. I will be able to get the core I need and probably some extras to help me reach my next evolution. I can probably get enough to give you two some as well."

Seronia says "While it would be nice to have more than just the two angels, it is not worth the risk!"

"Well, which is riskier, you sneaking me in or me trying to sneak in on my own?"

Krenocia says "Obviously, you trying to sneak in on your own would be riskier, but you are bluffing. You don't have any idea where to find the domains of the gods!"

"You're right, I don't. At least, not yet, but I am betting that I can figure it out. It will just take time, time that will allow Mythica to start her hunt. The whole point of this is that I want to get to the angels before she does. I would also like to finish my hunt and be gone before she shows up. Explaining that would not be fun!"

Seronia says "Even if you can disguise yourself, it is still too risky!"

Krenocia says "It is no riskier than us sneaking into pantheons to steal things. I say we let him try it. It is better for him to do it with our help than to try it on his own. You know now that he has thought of it, he is going to do it."

Seronia says "I can't believe that you are taking his side!"

Krenocia says "I am just trying to think things through logically. You are letting your emotions get away from you."

Seronia says "Oh, I'm being emotional! Fine then! You help him get himself killed!"

As soon as she is done speaking, Seronia leaves the soulscape and Krenocia just sighs. At that point, I keep my mouth shut since I have no idea what I should say. It is a few minutes before Krenocia turns to me and gives me a look like it is my fault.

"What? I didn't do anything!"

Krenocia says "You really shouldn't tease her and get her all worked up!"

"I wasn't teasing her! I meant what I said!"

Krenocia says "I'm not sure if that is better or worse. Either way, I wouldn't try to talk to her for a few days."

"Does that mean that you are going to help me sneak into Holos' domain?"

Krenocia says "Yes, I am. I still think that it is a crazy idea, but for some reason your crazy ideas tend to work. My sister doesn't want to admit it, but we desperately need more angels."

"Can I ask why?"

Krenocia says "It is because there is a limit to what the two of us can accomplish. For our pantheon to grow stronger, we either need more gods or more angels."

"Angels affect the power of a pantheon?"

Krenocia says "Yes, they do. Not only do angels provide power to the god they serve, they also count as members of the pantheon. So, the more angels there are and the more powerful they are, the more they contribute to the pantheon."

"Wait, do I count as a member of the pantheon?"

Krenocia says "No, you don't. You are a mortal still and mortals can only be followers, not members. However, your angel, once you have one, will count as a member of the pantheon. So, the more powerful it is, the better it is for us."

"Well, I will do my best to get a good core, but even then it will still be a while before I am able to level up."

Krenocia says "That's alright. It would be best not to rush my sister right now anyway. Focus on staying safe. If anything happens to you, I will never hear the end of it!"

"Don't worry, I will be safe. I only need you to get me in, getting out will be easy. I can gate out if things get dangerous."

Krenocia says "That's true. I doubt that setting defenses to stop people from leaving ever even crossed Holos' mind."

"Yeah, so try not to worry. Anyway, can you tell me what his domain is likely to be like?"

Krenocia says "Well, he will have built a palace for himself. It will probably be surrounded by a city for his followers and angels. Other than that, the rest will be whatever terrain he finds most pleasing to look at."

"A city? Will there be markets and things for sale there?"

Krenocia says "Not likely. It is just a place for the angels and the souls of his followers to live."

"Too bad. Will there be night and day, or just eternal day?"

Krenocia says "Again, that is up to Holos' personal preference. Since I have never visited his domain, I have no way of knowing."

"Alright. Guess I will just have to find out for myself. So, when can we do this?"

Krenocia says "Whenever you are ready. I don't need to prepare anything. Once the soulscape is closed, just pray to me when you are ready to leave."

"Okay. I will just need to check on the situation in the empire. As long as nothing is going on, I will be ready to leave right away. Is there anything else that I should know about god's domains?"

Krenocia says "No, not really. Everything inside depends on the will of the god that controls it. So there is really no way to tell what it will be like until you enter it."

"Fair enough. Okay, let me check in with my people and then I will contact you."
