Cathedral del Sol, Calia's private bedroom: March 27, 10:00 pm



"And after the counting of votes... the sovereignty of the city government number 2, Prometheus, is delivered to Mitael! Leader of the Church of the Meteor! An unprecedented victory" The presenter began to show the results of the vote of Prometheus.

The situation and the nerves in the room did not stop growing, while the moment of the results of Bahia 2.0 approached. Sitting on the edge of Calia's table, Flynn and Veronica could see how Calia, Maria, Eleanor and Vagrand kept their eyes closed, each praying in silence.


"Hey Flynn, Veronica, do you know that church? I've read and heard about them lately, but I can not find what the hell they are." Alfred approached Flynn, with a cup of coffee in each hand.


"The church of the meteor, as I understand it, is a kind of cult that venerates "Azure key", and as far as I know, it emerged in France, and has spread all over the world quickly" Veronica accepted the cup of coffee, and I hit him a long drink.

They had been here since the end of the voting, and until the last result, they were not going to join everybody in the main room for dinner, so the secretary was almost at the limit of her strength.


"I know that as a prophet of the Cathedral of Sol, I dont have too much right to complain... but I dont like that one of the first 4 cities of humanity will be controlled by religion... It's like taking a step back "Flynn looked at the television, seeing how they interviewed Mitael.

"He doesnt seem like a bad guy... and his church is not dangerous per se... but if I have to stop calling myself the prophet, it's not fair that he is a religious leader!"

 

"You only envy that for our candidacy you have been forced to stop being considered a prophet!" Veronica smiled, while Flynn turned and pinched her leg under the table. "Aaayy, I got it, I got it!"


"Dont be kids, Please... do you trust Eleanor?" Alfred sat on the sofa next to Flynn's table, glancing sideways at the wolf. "Maria says trust her, and therefore I trust her ..."


"Except you dont" Flynn whisper. "I've known Eleanor since she was just a puppy, she and her parents were members of the cathedral of the sun before we even locked ourselves in the ground.

Eleanor has always been a very confident girl who easily gets involved in everything, and when Gabriel betrayed the cathedral and she and I had to defend our home...

I knew that Eleanor stopped trusting the sun. Even today I think I hate more of Maria's betrayal than Eleanor's... which doesnt mean that I approve of all the evil she has done next to the cult of the moon. "Flynn closed her eyes, remembering how the 16-year-old Eleanor left in the middle of the night, ready to defend the world with her inventions.


"Gabriel? is she the one who comes out on the mural as the  "definite traitor"?" Veronica said as she pointed to the copy of the mural in Calia and Flynn's room.

"Yep, Gabriel was a doppelganger, and the third member of the cathedral, but her ambition and her rotten heart made her obsess over Calia.

One day, that obesity made her lose control, which led her to take one of the miniature suns and attach it to her body. With that power, she try to kill everyone to stay alone with Calia... It was not an easy fight, and my halberd broke until my current spear was left... and... we lost a lot of good people that morning"

 

"After that, Eleanor left the cathedral, and reformed the cult of the moon, created a name fighting against all those who threatened the future, and that led Maria to decide to do the same, Maria told me that part of the story, but even with that, in my country we had a saying, "Never trust a wolf in sheep's clothing"


"I'm very envious of both! Vagrand is ten thousand times more boring than Calia and Maria! I wish I had anecdotes like that to tell..." Veronica buried herself in her chair, turning up the volume of the television to see that they were going to finish with the recount of Bahia 2.0. "EVERYBODY! IS THE HOUR, ARE YOU READY?"

All present opened their eyes and watched with full attention towards the television.


"And with this the count of the votes for the sovereignty of the third city, Bahia 2.0, ends and the winner is..." Calia pressed the table so hard that she took part of the wood in her hands. "The alliance of the astral! The political party formed and directed by Benjamin Vagrand, Calia Sol, Eleanor Lightfang and Maria Ashcrew!"


The seven rose up shouting with joy, while they heard even more shouts of joy in the main room. Calia picked up her husband and threw him in the air, picking him up and covering him with kisses.


"We have the worst name of all and yet we have won!" Vagrand cheering while hugging his secretary, crying of emotion.


"Sir, it's not such a bad name!" Veronica hugged Vagrand, crying too. After an extremely exhausting express campaign, they had managed to get their message to the people, and the people had welcomed them.


"Bad name or not, we won! Bahia is ours!" Maria contained her tears, while her phone did not stop ringing with calls from Rozalin.


"People trust us... and now it's up to us to return it! Astral Team! Calia shouted as she placed her hand in the middle of the table, and everyone put theirs on top.


The celebrations lasted until dawn.

 

 


 

 

Exteriors of the Cathedral, in the park of the university: 04:00 in the morning.

 

Eleanor left the cathedral, staggering slightly from the alcohol. After one nightcelebrating her triumph, the wolf decided to retire to her hotel to rest.

But when Eleanor arrived at the university park, she felt a presence that forced her to draw her claws and be on her guard. "Who's there?! I'll drink a little, but you're in front of Eleanor! Priestess and leader of the moon cult! Show yourself once!"


Jolbirth landed in the middle of the park, forcing Eleanor to jump back to dodge it. "Congratulations, leader of Bahia 2.0!" Jolbirth smiled, making sure to show his fangs to the wolf.


"Jolbirth... have you come to take revenge? Well, what do you know, that as a wolf "HIIIP"... auuuu... what was I saying?" Eleanor leaned on a lamppost, which was bent by the weight of the giantess.


"Look... I could kill you right now, and neither your 20 feet tall, or your lunar claws would save you! So sad!" Jolbirth laughed as he approached Eleanor. "I havent come to attack you, so relax... Rather... now that you have been elected to govern them... I came to see you"


"To me?! Why?!" The wolf drew its claws, and covered them with moonlight. As Jolbirth had said, the wolf was not in a position to fight, but that was no excuse for being helpless.


"I imagine you already know, but people havent voted for you.

It's more! Surely you have been the biggest setback for this result! "Jolbirth laughed as he lay on the ground, enjoying his "revenge".

 

"You come to tell me what HIIIIP... I know... You lose Jolbirth, dont be embarrassed anymore..." Eleanor made the feint to keep walking, but Jolbirth with her tail pushed her back to a bench. "Leave me alone! I'm only in this because Calia and Maria trust me... I know perfectly well that for these people, I am the monster that has caused your apathy and the attack of the army..."


"Exactly, you and your pathetic moon have not brought more than problems, trying to make Hannah grow by force with me... and now, the acts of your robot, although they saved humanity, caused the death of 57 innocent people.
I'm not going to say it's your fault, Eleanor, but... you should consider resigning"


"... Shut up and listen to me, King Dragon who loses against a teenager.

I still believe in the moon, and in the future! And even though I know that for them I am a villain, I will not let myself fall into temptation!

I will go ahead and bring peace to Bahia 2.0 with my inventions and with my moonlight! I bet everything on roulette, and I intend to keep my bet even if all the numbers are against me!" Jolbirth exalted a small flame, while watching the wolf amused.


"You can win everything... the fame and recognition you've always sought... or lose everything ... you're aware of that, dont you?" Eleanor nodded, diverting Jolbirth even more. "Your pride is admirable ... it even manages to attract me.

Let me light the fire in the night for you, Eleanor. And so I will show you that the real answer is not that pathetic moon of yours or that sad Flynn sun"

 

"And what is your answer, Jolbirth?!"


"Hannah! You humans, you cant recognize who carries the will of a king, but I see in it... I see an unbeatable conqueror, an empress who-"


"And you laugh at me ?! You're obsessed with Hannah because she defeated you!" Jolbirth turned back, grabbing Eleanor with his tail.


"That girl showed a determination that-"


"Shut up! Hannah is just a teenager! Fight your own battles and dont want to burden the weight of your ruined kingdom on her shoulders, coward!" Eleanor concentrated her moonlight, and with an agile slash of her claws, she managed to cut off the tip of Jolbirth's tail, which fell to the ground with a thud.


"Bastard! Hannah will inherit my kingdom and conquer it! Time to time, and I have everything I need!" Jolbirth raised his claw, covered in profane fire and threw a direct blow at the wolf.

BANG! BANG BANG! Three quick shots hit Jolbirht's claw, penetrating his skin and making him cry out in pain.

"FIONA! WHERE ARE YOU, DAMN SLIME?!" Jolbirth looked in all directions, only to find a small giantess walking towards them. The giantess carried a kind of pistol in her hand, from which came a small column of smoke.

"Who do you think you are to interrupt ?! You will pay for your ins-"

Jolbirht could not finish the sentence, because the giantess disappeared from her sight. The dragon tried to take the flight to locate it, but suddenly, and fast as the wind, 4 direct cuts cut its wings.

 

"Speaking on behalf of others, it'snt something I was taught that was good" The giantess appeared again in front of Eleanor, cleaning a "little" dagger. The she-wolf tried to defend herself, but the image of Jolbirth's head separating from her neck and falling to the ground was enough to freeze her with fear.

"Dont suffer for the" The giantess (that reached the neck of Eleanor), snapped the fingers, and a gigantic seal in the form of gear appeared under Jolbirth's corpse. "He will live again in a few hours"


"Who you are?!" Eleanor tried to regain control of the situation, only to be stopped by a cut of the giantess, which cut the fingers of his claw at the same time that the gear seal appeared again.


"Yours will be good again in a few minutes, dont worry. And regarding your question, I'm just passionate about the authentic story, and I wanted to see it tonight by my own eyes.

Life is a labyrinth, so I dont advise you to waste it insisting on the same dead-end corridor, Eleanor" The giantess waved her hand farewell, as she walked away from the cathedral.


"...this surpasses my other nights of drunkenness, of that, there is no doubt whatsoever" Eleanor fell back into the grass, while she felt how her fingers were back in place. The wolf fell asleep right there, wondering who that giantess was.

 

 

Chapter End Notes:

 


 

 

"Thanks to all the readers for exceeding the figure of 8000 readings! Seeing it for myself is a great honor.


I guess you will be wondering who I am, but that answer isnt something that concerns the development of the story of Hannah and Elsa, so I will not consider it for the time being.


I only have to see 2 more important moments of the old world, so I invite you to join me for the next two days. Until tomorrow, and thanks for using your time reading us"
