§ 19. The Selection God

Without hesitation, I approached Ahid and Arcana.

“Did you just say one ‘measly’ god?” Ahid asked, his voice laced with anger.

“And if I did?”

“No matter the land or location, every living person in this world worships a deity. We revere, respect, and pray to them. In response, the gods bless us with salvation.”

Arcana stepped in front of Ahid as though to obstruct my path. I came to a stop and addressed him.

“I presume that is the way of your Kingdom of the Divine Dragon, but the people of Dilhade have never worshipped the gods, and there aren’t many people in Azesion who do either. Having faith in the gods is a choice—one that shouldn’t be forced on people and nations that do not desire it.”

“No. Azesion does worship a deity: the one who can draw the Sword of Three Races, the hero who wields Evansmana. Their reverence is much the same as belief in a god.”

“What ridiculous reasoning,” I said, dismissing Ahid’s words. “But setting that aside for the sake of the argument, the god of your kingdom would be that girl, no? She has a different source to Evansmana. It doesn’t change the fact you believe in different gods.”

“Gods are a concept—the concept of eventual salvation. All the gods of this world are the helping hands of the Almighty Radiance, Equis. Both Evansmana and my deity, Arcana, are amongst the countless agents sent by the Almighty Radiance. Only the shortsighted claim to believe in a different deity.”

“I see. This is your god; that is your god. Everything is an extension of your Almighty Radiance. Is that what you think?” I laughed, making Ahid glare at me sharply. “And? What’s your point?”

“I was wondering what kind of person the misfit of the Selection Trial would be, but you’re even more insolent than I imagined. The Almighty Radiance will never forgive non-believing heretics.” Ahid held his ring out towards Arcana and directed his magic towards her. “This must be why you were invited to the Selection Trial—in order to receive the judgment of the gods.”

Cold air began to radiate from Arcana’s body. The lunar snowdrops falling from the sky increased in number, transforming the ruined church into a mystical snowscape.

“How arrogant you are. I don’t care about this Equis god of yours, and you’re free to follow whatever god you wish. But to say you won’t forgive others...” I took a step towards Arcana. “Who do you think you are?”

“I could ask you the same. Who do you think you are to defy Arcana? The miracle of a god isn’t something that can be blocked twice.”

At Ahid’s words, Arcana quietly clapped her hands together. The lunar snowdrops formed the shape of two giant hands that mimicked her movement, swooping down to crush me between their palms of snow. White flowers scattered into the air from the impact.

Ahid cradled the ring on his right hand and muttered a prayer. “Bring salvation to this pitiful lamb. Free him of his sins.
