"Ummm, Mom? Why were you shouting?" Ray groggily asked as he got up from the bed.
Amelia smiled as she caressed his head, "It's nothing important honey, I just have to go for meeting tomorrow morning. You should sleep now since it is quite late isn't"
He flashed a bright smile towards her as once again laid down to sleep.
She got up as soon as she heard him sleeping and tip-toed out of the room. She sat in the living room and poured herself a glass of wine as she looked again at the crumpled letter in front of her.
'Amelia you have been requested to attend the 764th meeting of the assembly, which is being held tomorrow at 10:00 am sharp. This meeting is being held due to the recent activities concerning the Reunion and the possibility of opening the gates of Trinity to the adventurer's of Earth. As the former Apostle of Indra your presence has been deemed as necessary in this meeting. You will be required to wear the Cape of Prithvi before entering the venue.'
Apostles are the people chosen by gods as their champions of sort to govern the lands of Trinity instead of them and were required to carry tasks given by their gods in exchange to wield extraordinary weapons that resemble their own God's power.
But as they say with great power comes with equally great responsibility.
They cannot act in the real world unless a majority of the 13 apostles give their consent.
On the fateful day of when her husband, Mathew was declared dead Amelia raised the issue of going in to kill the mysterious entity that stole the amulet. unfortunately 7 members opposed of her going and told her that these mortal problems should be solved by those weaklings in Trinity.
Even though they said these words she could hear the contempt and mocking in their voices of her inability to get revenge for her beloved. Those shitty bastards got in her way as they saw that she, Amelia Stride, the Apostle of Indra was losing her cool for a mere little man and thought this as the perfect time to topple her position of the 'Strongest Apostle'
Using these cheap tactics they wanted her to act, to do something that would make her get kicked out from the assembly so that they could put another god's apostle in her place.
All apostles who can enter the assembly are decided through a martial spar and the top thirteen are chosen are given the honor to hold the assembly while the rest are declared in-waiting for a chance of a dismissed apostle and take their positions.
Even though she was the strongest, it was sin to injure another apostle as declared by 'The Three Decrees', that is,
'One must complete the tasks given by the lord (god).
Cannot act in the normal world without the consent of all the apostles.
Cannot another injure another apostle.
If they do their Amulet will be shattered indicating their sever from the god's they serve and will lose their rank as an apostle.'
As Amelia took another sip of wine her eyes fell on the broken amulet that hung on the wall opposite to her. She sighed again as she remembered about the tragic incident that happened on that day.
She had tolerated them for almost 53 years and like the eruption of an active volcano she took out her Halberd.
Six heads and two severed hands of apostles appeared in front of the Temple of Prithvi on that day.
Even though nothing was old to the citizens yet they started to dub her as 'The Butcher of Gods'.
She was once known as the Legendary Apostle of Indra, Amelia Stride (now a caring and extremely overprotective mother).
