"You have sinned, Leniver of Antheria."

"O, Holy Mother, you are ever forgiving and ever merciful. I come before you for judgment. I seek not glory nor absolvement, I ask only that you may forgive."

"That is something I shall not do. As the Goddess of this world and all worlds I deign you to a punishment."

Leniver turned her head slightly and looked at Aphia, she was scared more than her. She held her breath and looked back at the Mother.

"Your sins may yet be forgiven, but you will not walk free. You will be punished with the greatest tragedy in your life, so that you may start anew."

Leniver gasped out the final breath in her lungs. she drew a long one before finding the strength to speak. 

"P-Pardon?"

"You are tasked with preparing Theia for its future. You will do so exactly as you did with Antheria."

"You want me to do what I did in Romaria?"

"Exactly what you did."

"You will not have your memories. You will have our blood and our strength but you will not have that which you value the most."

Aphia looked up.

"And what of me? Is it not my fault that she did this? I was the one who sinned."

"You will face the same punishment. You will see exactly what caused him to do as she did, and you will understand what you have cost him."

"I did not mean to....."

"And yet you did."
