"Uhh, spooky churches huh? If we're lucky we might find crackers and wine stashed in a cabinet behind the altar, nothing like a hallowed snack in a stormy church to lift our spirits," the human said with a smirk.
The young witch snorted a light laugh.
"Yes, of course, disturbing places always whet my appetite," she exclaimed and then took her girlfriend into the building and made her sit on one of the still usable benches and then closed the open window.
Luz let out a soft sigh only to hear a soft hiss catch her attention.
Snaking from inside the collar of the Latina's shirt, Stringbean curled around her neck, nuzzling against the human's cheek.
Luz smiled sweetly, stroking the little palisman's head.
Amity in the meantime decided to pick up some pieces of wood from the ground and place them in a pile a few steps away from them, generating a small purple flame which she then placed on the bonfire, lighting it and illuminating the surroundings of the room a little.
Finally she sat down next to her girlfriend, materializing Ghost who curled up in a ball on her own lap, purring at the witch's touch.
They remained in silence for a few moments, warming themselves in front of the improvised bonfire while the fury of the storm gave full vent outside.
Not long after, the witch of abominations burst out with a question.
"Luz...where do you think we ended up?"
The human raised an eyebrow, stroking Stringbean thoughtfully.
"Mh, most likely in the Human Realm since the rain doesn't boil here, maybe somewhere lost on the other side of the world", she hypothesized, giving a reassuring smile to her girlfriend.
The latter returned her smile and then rested his cheek on her shoulder.
"Yes, most likely so," she whispered.
Luz smiled softly, stroking her wet purple hair while thinking some ideas to figure out where they were.
She immediately reached into the inner pocket pf her jacket, taking out her smartphone and turning it on to try to see where she was via GPS.
Unfortunately, her idea was killed due to the lack of signal, which demoralized her a little.
"Is there a problem?" Amity asked, noticing the disconsolate frown on Luz's face.
"I wanted to try to see if my smartphone could pinpoint our location... but apparently the internet connection here is practically non-existent," she replied, snorting slightly.
"Don't worry honey, tomorrow when the storm stops we can leave here and see where we are", she reassured her and then gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Luz smiled, nodding before hugging her and resting her cheek on her head.
They remained attached to each other, warming themselves in the heat of the fire and eventually falling into the limbo of sleep.
A thunder and immediately afterwards the opening of the wooden window suddenly woke Luz up a few hours later.
Looking around groggily, the young human witch realized that what had made her wake up was only the noise of the weather and the incessant slamming of the window.
With a soft moan from she got up, taking care not to wake Amity who made lie down on the bench while the latter instinctively hugged Ghost who nestled against her chest and Stringbean perched on her right shoulder.
Approaching the window Luz took both doors and looked out to see the outside.
There was nothing that could indicate where they were, the sky was black and the storm was strong, there were no trees but only a vast prairie shaken by the furious wind and at irregular intervals illuminated by lightning in the sky.
In a moment Luz narrowed her eyes.
For an instant she swore that a lightning had illuminated a figure not far from the chapel.
Shaking her head the witch let out a soft sigh.
"I'm too tired, oh brain... you always choose suitable moments to play pranks on my mind," she murmured to herself, closing the windows.
She returned to sit on the bench, gently stroking Amity's shoulder as the latter raised the head a little, resting her cheek on her girlfriend's lap.
Another sweet smile painted the Latina's face as she looked at the bonfire and taking a piece of wood revived the flames.
She threw it towards the bonfire but her vision blurred from her tiredness made her aim wrong and throw the piece of wood next to the bonfire.
With an annoyed huff she stood up to take the piece of wood and throw it into the fire again.
As soon as she stretched out her hand towards it, however, the young witch saw the piece of wood rise and with a surprised look she noticed a hand illuminated by the bonfire holding it up and finally throwing it into the flames.
Luz's eyes widened, eyeing the figure in front of her.
It was a man wrapped in a long dark blue tunic with long sleeves, a symbol was sewn on his chest, resembling a golden Ankh while the face illuminated on the left side by the flames showed a neutral expression and pale skin with two icy eyes blue and dark, straight hair that reached down to his neck and fell softly to h...
The man stared at her for a few moments without saying anything, which made Luz quite uncomfortable so she decided to make the first move.
"Umh... hello?", she greeted in an uncertain tone, waving her hand.
The man raised an eyebrow.
"Hello," he replied, the tone of his voice was calm and dry as well as subtle.
"What brings two young souls like you to a remote chapel left to the ruins of time?", he asked shortly after in a calm tone, eyeing Amity's sleeping form on the bench.
Luz showed a puzzled look, the way he spoke seemed somewhat... outdated?.
"Oh... you know, it's bad weather outside so my girlfriend and I found shelter in this church," the girl replied simply.
"As long as it doesn't bother you, sir," he added shortly after.
The man shook his head slightly.
"You are welcome here... as long as your presence does not disturb the balance of the Material Plane"
"Don't worry, we won't cause any-wait, what did you just say?", asked the human, looking at the man with confusion.
The latter slowly raised a hand and with a flick of the wrist made something happen that surprised Luz quite a bit.
Multiple candles lit from the sconces near the walls, illuminating the room with a soft light as the man turned, heading towards the altar.
The Latina blinked for a moment.
"Oh oh, great magic trick, how did you do it? Did you pull a string or something?" the human asked with a nervous laugh.
"In a way, I twisted the threads of the Weave to generate fire around those candles," the man replied nonchalantly, picking up a silver cup and placing it on the altar.
At those words Luz became more confused.
"Ok dude, what's your deal? Are you some kind of wizard?" the human asked, tilting his head a little and crossing her arms.
"I am not a wizard," replied the man, taking the goblet in his hands, crystal clear water appearing inside it.
"I am The Wizard... and you, Luz Noceda of the Human Realm, do not belong to this world and your and your partner's permanence will aggravate your situation and in the worst case scenario, condemning you two to wander forever in a limbo from which you will never find peace," he explained.
At those words Luz was paralyzed as she felt her body tremble.
"Is...is this a threat?", she asked, her tone somewhat angry but low.
The man tilted his head slightly.
"No, it is not my intention to do any harm to you or to the young witch with whom you share a bond, I am just warning you ... the Material Plane does not foresee your presence", he replied and then took a few steps forward and faced a confused and scared Luz.
"When I with my brothers and sisters emerged into this sack of cosmic void and shaped its foundations, we managed to erect a complex system of birth, death, and rebirth for mortal souls," he explained, making the young human’s eyes widen.
"Each of them bears the signature of the divine spark, the mark of our essence, what allows them to pass through and return here... something that you do not have and that makes you like any other extraplanar entity, with the only difference that if you die here... you will not return to your home plane," he said final...
Luz shook her head, slowly backing away.
"Woah woah woah, ok dude... something tells me you went too far with the sacred wine because what you say doesn't make any sense," she replied in a nervous tone.
In response, the man approached her, slowly extending his hand.
"Give me your hand," he said in a calm tone, eliciting a look of panic from her.
"And why should I?", she asked, doubtful.
"I want to show you the truth, nothing more," replied the other.
"And how do I know that you won't do some kind of illusion or something to fool me?", the girl asked again, sounding increasingly annoyed.
"You can't, what I ask is a mere gesture of faith," the man replied.
Luz stared at the hand indecisively.
Everything she had just heard was crazy and yet... part of her feared it was true, but what could she do?.
She could slap that hand away, take Amity and walk out of there, into the storm.
Or accept what this supposed madman had just said and perhaps see where it took her.
Luz looked at the hand for a moment longer and then snorted.
"And faith it is...", she murmured and then took his hand.
It was cold and rough to the touch.
"Okay and now what-"
The girl opened her eyes wide when she saw who, or rather what, stood out in front of her.
An enormous hooded figure in a blue cloak inside which she saw nothing but a pitch black shadow.
Inside his hood two bright blue eyes stared at the young human while the hint of a face with lips that expressed a neutral line could be glimpsed.
"I am Zarwid, the First Wizard, the Architect of the Arcane, the Creator of the Weave... the God of Magic and Knowledge," he said, his voice echoing in the mind of the young human who fell to her knees, her eyes and mouth wide open in amazement.
"Do you believe me now, Luz Noceda of the Human Realm?" asked the deity, bringing his face closer to the girl who nodded, speechless.
In the blink of an eye she found herself back in the chapel, standing in front of the man who was still holding her hand.
The latter withdrew it, crossing his arms behind his back and leaving the young human a few moments to digest what she had just seen.
Luz took a heavy sigh, her eyes wide and still in disbelief.
"Oh boy, if I had a nickel for every situation I found myself meeting a deity in, I would have three nickels right now. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened thrice," she commented.
"I assume you're referring to the Collector and the Titan," Zarwid commented in turn.
"Uh yeah... hey how do you know these things about me?", the human asked narrowing her eyes and receiving an impassive look from the deity.
"Oh right... you're the God of Knowledge, you know everything I guess," she replied with a nervous laugh.
"I am only aware of everything that happens in the Material Plane, its past, present and future... I tend not to extend my awareness to the surrounding planes of existence," Zarwid replied, still in a calm tone.
"Then how do you know about me and where I come from?", the girl asked again, tilting her head a little.
"I read your mind," the other replied simply.
"Right... I should have come to that conclusion," Luz murmured, crossing her arms.
"Be that as it may, since you said that Amity and I don't belong here and that if we die a horrible end awaits us... can you let us return home?", she asked shortly after.
"I can... although I fear there are some complications," Zarwid replied.
Luz looked at him perplexed and a little worried.
