After the trial is over and the main gods leave their seats, someone runs to Kresi and pulls her in his arms. She frowns in confusion. Although she had existed as a soul for many years, her body is only thirteen at the moment because she died at the age of thirteen. The man tightens his arms around her. She bites her inner cheek, uncomfortable in his embrace. "Are you trying to kill her?" She hears a woman's loud and piercing voice. "You are going to crush her this way." The man puts her down on the…-

"Wait." She frowns. Why did he not say a word about Ai? She points at the child. "What about him?" "You have fifteen days to draw a true name for him." Noras gives her a solemn look. "No god will help you in this task. You must find a way on your own. If you fail, he will be executed." "That's not fair," Ari shouts. "Fifteen days are too less and…" "If you don't want to accept that, then both of you will be executed now." Noras tells her sternly, "A nameless creature is too dangerous for this world.…

"I won't return it." Ari shakes her head and scowls at them."The gods of Iravan are something. It's not like this child is doomed. I still have the power of Renasir. I can draw a true name for this child in the future. Are you saying that you won't even take a chance at me and this kid who is clearly innocent?" There are whispers among the mortals. If there's a chance that the Renasir can give a name to that child, then why are gods insisting on killing that child? Noras takes a breath. Drawing a true…

So, everything that she did… Hot tears drop on the floor one by one. Kresi slowly blinks her eyes. Her mother. Jase. Everyone else… "Can I speak now?" Ari raises her hand. "God Noras?" It's not like she won't speak if he says no. God Noras gives her a nod. Ari takes a step forward with Ai. "Why didn't you tell her that Jase was reincarnated before she seduced God Adira?" Why is she saying it like that? The Dark God exhales. He wasn't seduced. She is making him sound so easy. "Because I had no idea…

He knew that he had to answer this question. That's how this world is. Gods are present among the mortals. They are questioned all the times. There are also times when a god makes mistakes. Then, just like all the mortals, he also has to answer one way or another. The god of light stands up and looks at the woman whom he had wronged a long time ago. "I couldn't bring him back because he had already reincarnated by the time I found out that he wasn't the perpetrator." Kresi widens her eyes in shock.…

They stare at each other for a long moment. In the end, Ari breaks eye contact first. She turns toward the god of light. "God Noras, let's get back to the matter. I want to judge the gods for their crimes." Noras glances at the Dark God who's been ignored by the Renasir as if she didn't hear him at all. Should he proceed with this trial? "Before judging someone's crimes, shouldn't you be free of the sins?" Cina gives her a dark look. Because of this girl, Kresi is walking away free. "Are you qualified…

A heavy silence descends in the hall. All the gods stare at the girl, surprised by her words. Judging the gods? No one ever had said something like this before. Can a mortal ever judge a god? "Can you repeat your words, Mortal?" Noras asks the girl with a calm voice. He glances at Adira who is watching the girl quietly. This girl is the last renasir. She is Adira's bride. Then, why is she doing here? He will let this go if she changes her words. Ari speaks louder, "I said that I am here to judge…

People are excited about the first trial being held after ten thousand years. In the court, the main gods gather one by one. The atmosphere is heavy and solemn. Eshyal, the god of sun, takes a seat beside Noras. "So, what is this about?" "Did you come here without preparation?" Noras glares at him. "All I heard is that Adira did something again." Eshyal yawns. "Something to Belan?" "Cina demanded the trial." Mahuna, the goddess of fire, explains to Eshyal. "Some creature killed Belan. It wasn't…

The small vial feels too heavy in his hand. Adira slowly walks back to the cell. It never gets dark in the kingdom of Noras. The light in the palace makes him feel dizzy. He wants to go back to the darkness that comforts him. However, he can't stop himself from going back to Kresi with the memories in his hand. She's sitting at the same place where he left her. The door of the cell is not locked. She could have run away. But then, where could she go? What is her place in this world? He can't even…

That name… Adira takes a step back, looking at her with disbelief. It's impossible. She can't be Amara. He killed her with his own hands. He stares at her, trying to find any similarity. But he can't see it. "Oops!" Kresi pats her mouth, pretending to be sorry to him. "I said it wrong. I am not Amara. I have her soul. I don't have any memories of that life. You look like you had no idea. Is it that surprising? You did kill me when I was Amara, but you didn't destroy my soul." But he heard that…
