[Vol.2] Quest 150.5- Sacrilegious

Some far-out village.

“!?”

Artemis felt something hot pierce her. Her demeanor turned red. Her heart was beating a bit more faster.

“What’s wrong Lady Artemis!?” shouted Rethusa concerned her goddess may have caught a fever or something akin to it.

“I…I’ve been desecrated???” she says looking confused. "Why? This has never happened before?"

“T-the moon!!!” shouted a villager.

They all look to see the moon slowly gain cracks and a beam of light coming from the direction of Orario fading away.

“…Who…who pierced the moon!!” she shouted. She tried to see where it came from and sees a beam of light coming from Orario’s direction. “We’re returning to Orario!”

“It’ll take us 2 weeks to get back!” said Phi.

“We’ll do it in one! Let’s go! Now!!”

Altena.

“Lady Hecate! What happened!” said an assistant.

“…It would seem someone has taken something…very valuable to all the lunar deities.” She said with heterochromia, her eyes were of red and blue.

“W-what could they have taken?” asked the assistant.

Hecate walks to the window away from her research and look at the moon as cracks slowly grow on it and her see’s Southeast of Altena in the direction of Orario a fading beam of light.

“…Our purity…” a smile cracks upon her cold face. “How interesting.” She then turned back returning to work.

Chyong.

Looking at the moon a goddess breaks into tears.

“Lady Chang'e!!” said a servant. “What is the matter!”

“My love…he has returned!” she said pointing at the moon with a flush face.

The servants all look at moon as cracks appear on it across its face.

“T-the famed Hero of Stars, Hou Yi! He has been reborn!!” shouted the servants.

“Tell Yù Dì that I will be heading to the direction in where that light came from!! I am coming my love!!” she quickly got up and ran in a beautiful red attire.

“Wait my lady!! You have a bad sense of direction!!!”

Far East.

“Lady Tsukuyomi why is your face red?” said a small child.

“You’re not getting sick are you Tsukuyomi?” said Takemikazuchi.

“N-no umm…I need to be alone for a while.” she said as she excused herself.

“What’s wrong with her Lord Takemikazuchi?” said the child.

“Hopefully, nothing Makoto.”

Sitting down Tsukuyomi takes a breath and looks up at the moon to calm herself but-

“…Ah…” she sees the moon crack across its surface from something. “I guess that explains the hot feeling I felt…” she lets down her blue hair and feels the cool breeze of the night calm her. “…I will be lucky if I find you first.”

Orario.

“…” Soma gets up and walks to the balcony and the force of the attacks breaks the windows of his home. “…No.” and walks back inside and continues to make his drinks.
