Azrynn's yellow eyes were filled with confusion and fear. She swallowed hard before speaking again, her voice still trembling.
"I-I don't know the details…!" she said quickly. "I was only told to guide strong people here. After we bring someone to the temple, it would usually activate and function safely. The monsters would stop attacking our village for a while. But this time… it was different. The temple was completely inactive. That's why I tried to enter myself… and then I met you two."
Lilith's crimson eyes narrowed.
"So because we killed the Guide…" she said coldly, "the Loom of Fate stopped functioning?"
Azrynn's eyes widened in pure shock. Her body jerked against the threads.
"K-Killed…?!" she stammered. "You… you killed the Goddess who protects us?! The one who watches over this temple?!"
Her voice rose in panic.
"Do you have any idea what you've done?! If the Goddess is dead, then our village—!"
"Quiet, elf."
