Reima "Church?"

Quelaag nods, "Yeah, if they aren't praying to you and Solaire they're requesting to learn Pyromancy from us..."

Quelana "It's a shame we don't have anywhere suitable to teach them, having more Pyromancers would suit the settlement well."

Reima quickly waves his hand, "Hang on, hang on... What church!?!"

Eskel grins, "Oh, you didn't hear? Those two girls, Rhea and Anastacia had the House Elves construct a church for them. Soon as it was made Prospects and Chaos Servants all began to pray there. Come to think of it, it's weird how quickly people started attending it..." he says with a thoughtful expression.

...

Reima sighs, "Youknow what? I'll check it out later... Tell me how the construction of the city is going and we'll finish this up." he says as he slouches in his chair.

Talem "We had almost nine hundred houses built, but with the new arrivals we'll have to speed up the process, hopefully, the Monsters will be able to assist us."

Asgore "I'm sure every Monster would be happy to help contribute to their new home, most were shocked at the sight of the sky which should give you an idea of the hardships we have gone through."

Reima "Right, if that's all then let's end this meeting. Thanks to all of you for attending, hopefully, we won't need another one of these anytime soon." he says and begins to walk to the exit to take a look at this new church they'd apparently built. Quelaag, Quelana, Solaire and Priscilla.

The walkthrough Kaer Morhen is completely different from when he'd first got here, the ruined keep was completely fixed by the House Elves. Making it an incredibly strong fortification that would undoubtedly be impossible to breach if all combatants in the city were holed up in it. Walking past the entrance they approach the large city that was slowly growing, it wasn't an incredibly huge size yet due to Reima deciding that building vertically to save space was the way to go.

With every building being at least three stories tall, they towered over them, enveloping the streets below in darkness. Though it seems that someone had been experimenting with runes and designed some sort of magical lighting while he was gone. The lights were small circles that emitted a golden light at a consistent rate, Reima could feel the small amount of ambient magic they were using to power themselves.

People were milling about in the streets, Prospects carrying things from here to there, Monsters walking around wide-eyed at the strange buildings comprising the city and House Elves occasionally popping here and there to deliver the supplies he'd previously given them.

The city wasn't entirely made out of housing though, the middle having been designated for businesses, apparently, there were already people trading for goods there. People seeking carvings, herbs from the nearby forest, fresh carcasses from hunted creatures, and even some ragged-looking clothing. Incidentally, this was also where the workshop built for the blacksmiths was. It was easily identifiable due to the absolutely humungous door made specifically for Couagh to be able to walk through.

It was all quite impressive considering the settlement hadn't been here long, he was also beginning to see various tools being carries out of the blacksmiths, pickaxes, farming tools and hammers included.

One thing that bothered Reima though was the fact that everyone would bow deeply towards he and Solaire when they passed, even the Monsters started doing it after observing everyone else.

Ignoring them all Reima and those following him eventually reached the church... A place oddly familiar to him and buzzing with ambient magic, the building itself was huge and covered in gold. The corners were plated and any appreciatable stretch of wall had inscriptions drawn int them, some describing the history of Lordran via pictograms while others just depicted he or Solaire battling huge beasts and demons.

Reima was started to regret giving access to his gold for construction purposes, but made peace at the fact that it was already too late... Changing the aesthetic of the city already would put a bad taste in his mouth.

The church's entrance was massive with large metal doors on extraordinarily strong hinges, they were already open revealing a massive hall inside, the floor was polished marble and had many small smalls dotted around the place. It seems the church wasn't finished either as the windows had yet to be put in, though Reima could already guess that the city lacked the technology to create the windows Rhea wished for.

Solaire "Its resemblance to the Eternal Fire's church in Kaedwen is rather unnerving to me personally." he says.

Reima walks in and feels the ambient magic get stronger and stronger the more he progresses, eventually reaching the middle of the hall where it is at it's strongest. Of course, his presence in the church wasn't unnoticed, the people present already bowing to him respectfully. Rhea and Anastacia were at the end of the hall but were quickly approaching with smiles on their faces.

Rhea "My lords! Do you like the church we've had built!?! The House Elves are almost as dedicated as we are!"

Solaire gives a thumbs up and smiles, "Of course, it is an honour to be so respected among you."

Reima continues to examine the place with his Observation Haki, wondering why this all seemed so familiar, and why this place was so magically potent.

Rhea "Lord Reima, we were waiting on your return to perform the rite before you."

Anastacia nods, "For the first time I am looking forwards to doing my duty."

...

Reima "Err, what rite?" he asks confused.

Anastacia "The rite and ritual my soul was made for. Would you allow me?" she asks Reima with puppy eyes.

Reima rubs the back of his head, mentally thinking that something doesn't feel right here. "Errr, sure?"

Rhea and Anastacia beam at him and the latter kneels onto the floor in-front of Reima...
