Chapter 231: Sovereign Monarch of Firmament (2/2)
The beautiful angel's blue eyes landed on Rakna and she lifted the edges of her dress. ”Greetings to you, Lord Monarch. I, Astraea, Star Maiden and Goddess of Innocence, have answered your will and summon,” she spoke up with an amazingly soft voice and Rakna's eyes widened.
”That's a first…” He blinked in shock and she smiled serenely, lowering her dress and crossing her arms over her stomach with her wings half-folded behind her. ”Ganymede certainly wasn't chatty like you. Is it because of the number of focal stars I used for you…?” He mumbled the last part to himself.
Astraea giggled. ”Naturally, Lord Monarch. Since I am a Divine Spirit, the circumstances are vastly different.”
”A Divine Spirit, you say?” Rakna scowled and before he could ask anything else, a System window slid into his field of view.

- Virgo (T.5): Most commonly attributed to a young girl named Dika, daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Themis. Virgo is also sometimes known as Astraea, daughter of Astraeus, Father of the Stars, and Eos, Goddess of the Dawn.
The legend tells of this young woman, born mortal and placed on Earth to rule over human justice during the Gods' Golden Age defined by the prosperity, peace, everlasting spring, and the eternity that human beings once possessed. When Zeus overthrew his father, the Silver Age began. The humans began to no longer honor the Gods as they used to.
The maiden of Virgo gave a speech to the entire race, warning them of the dangers of their ways, and flew to the mountains, turning her back on humans. When the Bronze and Iron Ages came along and wars began to be waged, she left Earth altogether and headed to the Heavens.
The story of Astraea has other versions, combining her Domains of Justice, Innocence, Corn, and Fortune. Once summoned, she appears as a beautiful white-haired angel with ears of wheat ornaments representing the vitality that blooms in the everlasting spring, the noblesse of nature granted to her, and her deep connection to the balance of life.
As a Star Summon, Astraea has the ability to spread fortune and the blessing of nature to her surroundings while anything she considers a threat will be plagued with misfortune and the punishments of justice.
Most importantly, after resonating with the Host's dormant divinity and magic, Astraea has found herself deeply linked to you. Her identity as the Star Maiden made it possible for the user to call upon her as a True Divine Specter, a lesser Avatar of Gods, capable of awareness as well as fighting capability.
