Lana felt as though she could die at any moment. Perhaps she would not survive this.
Her body was already at its limit, her consciousness was fading, and every breath felt like it was being dragged through a burning throat. Yet despite all of that, she did not stop.
She continued chanting.
Teresa watched her with a strange smile before chuckling softly.
"What a devoted follower of the goddess you are. Even now, you are still praying. I almost feel touched by your devotion."
With that, Teresa grabbed Lana by her hair and violently smashed her head against the floor.
Bang!
Pain exploded through Lana's skull.
Teresa laughed as she continued.
"But you made one terrible mistake by choosing Goddess Nytheris. She would never care about a devotee like you. Did you not know that Goddess Nytheris used to be a demon herself?"
Lana felt as though she had suddenly been jolted awake from a terrible dream.
'Goddess Nytheris was a demon?'
