Chapter 136 - Familiar face (2/2)
”Are we really going all the way down underneath the academy?” Monk asked.
”It looks like it,” Jasmine replied.
The group continued to walk down the stairs while having a small conversation with each other.
”What are you going to say when we meet the divine being?” Kyle asked.
”I don't know but I hope she's gorgeous,” Martha replied.
”She, what makes you think the divine beings a girl?” Dan said.
”What makes you think it's a boy?”
”Well you know, it's all powerful and stuff, it has to be a guy.”
”You know Dan, did you ever even beat Slyvia once in a ranking match? I didn't think so.”
Martha and Slyvia then looked at each other. ”Boys”
Finally, after another half an hour of walking down, they had reached the end of the staircase. The staircase had led them into a large church-like room. There were wooden benches on either side all facing in one direction. All the benches were currently pointing at a single statue in the room.
The statue was of a beautiful woman who was wearing a hood that mages often wore, In her right hand the statue held a staff with an orb attached to the end and around the orb there were two small wings.
The group stared at the statue for a while before searching the room for any over entrances. Everyone had split up and gone looking around the large hall apart from Ray. Ray was stood still staring at the statue.
Slyvia noticed the Ray was still standing staring at the statue.
”I know she's beautiful Ray but I have to remind you she's only a statue.”
”Do you know who she is?” Ray replied.
Slyvia looked at the statue and the room they were in for a while before giving an answer.
”If I would have to guess, this place seems like it used to be a temple or some type of place for worship. Nowadays it's taboo for anyone to have a drawing or try to recreate an image of the divine being but in the past, it wasn't so much.”
”Are you saying this is the divine being?”
”I think it's a possibility.”
Ray didn't say much else but he had the strange feeling of familiarity when looking at the statue as if he had seen this person before but for some reason, Ray just couldn't quite put his finger on it.
