Inside the cathedral's dining hall, gentle light never extinguished since the afternoon, remaining warm and bright even into the night.
More than ten fully armed Holy Paladins arrived together, asking no questions about the anomalies within the dining hall, and quietly spread themselves outside, like statues forming an iron wall, silently guarding the two people inside.
The next day's dawn arrived, another batch of Holy Paladins came, and with silent nods, wordlessly completed the shift change.
Then, as the sun set and rose again, the cycle continued, but the light inside remained constant, never dimming at all.
Until the []th day, when the light finally began to dim.
