Suddenly fully aware of his nakedness, a slight blush permeated Nero's face.
I need to find some clothes.
With his vision now perfectly clear in the darkness, he looked around the ruined cathedral.
Noting a wooden door hanging off its hinges. He decided it was the best place to start. To his luck the room was a meeting office, most likely for the priests of the church.
Nero's eyes brightened at the sight of a closet to the left of him.
Rushing in his face fell at the sight of one pair of black pants… sighing, he took them and put them on. Feeling slightly less exposed.
He began to walk back out of the room, and the moment he stepped out, a silver blade the length of his arm stopped him at the base of his neck. Fear and panic struck his heart.
And only with pure instinct he jumped back from the doorway, splintering wood under his feet. The sword chased him, moving of its own volition at the speed of a running horse.
Before Nero could even react, It sliced his right shoulder, spun and sliced his lower calve.
Dropping him to his knee and rendering him unable to run. The sword hung above his head like a guillotine.
Struck by pain and shock, Nero didn't move a muscle. Soon the voice of an elderly woman rang clearly in the darkness.
State your name and how exactly your hear young awakened.
Nero hesitated, surprised at the elderly voice speaking to him. Speak boy or I shall remove your head.
I'm… im Nero… no sir name and
I got here by the water.
Hmm, I see and I can assume you used the shard left here then boy?…
yes.
I see then, stand boy.
Before Nero could speak, a green light enveloped him and relief permeated his being as he was healed by the light.
Standing, Nero finally caught sight of his attacker.
It was a woman dressed in a dark robe with a black veil covering her whole face.
The sword hovered next to her, still aimed at him.
He couldn't see her eyes, but he could feel her studying him.
Still fearful of the woman, Nero opened his mouth to speak but was cut off.
I am the lady priest of the sun sky.
The lady priest of the night sky seems to have been killed or captured.
You seem to be the only being left in the city of the night sky. I shall take you with me back to the sun sky and have you questioned further about the events that took place here.
Do you have an objections' child…
Nero was dumbfounded. sun sky? Night sky?. He had no idea what the lady was talking about and, frankly, he didn't care right now she could get him out of here.
That's all he needed to know.
Shaking his head, he said no.
Good then, follow me child.
The women turned away and began tracking to the doors of the cathedral.
Nero wasted time in following her.
Stepping out of the doors of the cathedral. Meeting with the cold air and sounds of the crashing waves Nero was met with yet another surprise.
A black oval-shaped sphere the size of a small building hovered in front of him.
