"Sister, do you know how the naless creatures are born?" Raya asks her sister curiously.
"I don't know." Riha gives her a sly look. "How are they born?"
"Silly, they aren't born." Raya chuckles. "Those sad creatures Their nas are stripped away from them. They spend the rest of their lives looking for their nas. They have no place in the world."
"Then, do they ever find their nas?" Riha frowns at her.
"Do they?" Raya smirks. "Can they find sothing that doesn't exist anymore? All things have a place in the world except for the naless creatures. They can continue to beg or fight. In the end, they will be found by the gods and destroyed."
"That's sad." The corners of Riha's lips curl down.
"Yes, it is." Raya sighs. "Once a soul loses its true na, it is usually never found."
"Can't it get a new na?" Riha's eyes turn bright. "Can't it find a new place in the world?"
"Only if soone gives it to him," Raya replies, taking a glance a Ril'Yah who has been watching sothing afar with a aningful smile on her lips.
"Third Sister is always acting mysteriously." Riha frowns at Ril'Yah. "I am sure that you can help people. Can't you open your mouth for once and help people? Does it make you happy if you act all smug and mysterious?"
"She likes to drive people insane." Raya clicks her tongue. "Third Sister could resolve everything in a second, but she won't do it. According to her, people should always find their ways on their own."
"Most people get lost." Riha walks to Ril'Yah and covers her eyes. "If you don't see, would you speak and tell us what is going inside your mind?"
The light of the third moon becos dim in the sky. But the sun is already shining bright. Nobody notices the changes in the moon, not even the gods. It's not the first ti when the three sisters started playing around like this.
People usually get lost because they can't see what is invisible to the naked eyes. Ril'Yah smiles. Though her eyes are closed, she could still see. She's the only moon who is able to see things that are usually invisible to the naked eyes. If she says it simply, nobody would try to see for themselves. The true na has been erased along with the given na. The child has been suffering for a long ti, knowing no love despite being given the na that ans love. Who owes whom? It is only a matter of perspective. But who can help whom? She wonders.

Adira steps toward the carriage and pulls the door. A man with grey hair is lying on the floor of the carriage with blood gushing out of his shoulder. Adira looks over his head and narrows his eyes on Cina.
"You are rather calm." Cina sneers at him. "Do you really care about the Renasir?"
"She won't be hard." That's what he wants to believe. Adira didn't sense hostile energy from the force. He's terrified, of course. That force is a naless creature. If he loses his calm, he might never be able to find Ari. First of all, he must find out how and why that naless creature was created. Even if that child was born in special circumstances, he wasn't born as a naless creature. Kresi also gave that child a na. Why did that child lose it? Was it because Ari erased her body along with the corruption in the dark ehr?
Kresi gave that rune to Ai. If it was still connected to the magic inside Kresi's body, it could have been erased after Ari used the rune 'Kres' to erase everything including the corruption in the dark Ehr. But did Kresi mistakenly bound Ai's soul along with his body to Belan using the rune?
A thirteen-year-old harbinger can't be a wise one. She was also hurt. That kid might have done it in a hurry. She would have never thought that the body would be erased in such a way by Ari.
Though he knows the answers now, he's not happy. A naless creature has been wandering in the world and no god had detected it in the past. The creature that's been going into the abodes of gods and causing troubles must have been Ai.
His Ari is with a naless creature at this mont. He heals the man with grey hair. He could tell that this is the third person who is connected to Ai and Kresi. He needs this person alive for the trial. In that sa trial, the fate of the naless creature would be decided. To find the naless creature, help of all the gods are required since they don't know where it could be at any mont.
The god of the lands has been studying the dark god. If it was the previous dark god, he would be wreaking havoc or looking for the woman madly. Cina glares at his back. This facade is almost believable.
"Do you not want to find out the one who actually killed Belan?" Adira questions him with a calm voice.
"It was the harbinger who created it." Cina creases his forehead and says to him with a cold voice, "I don't care about whose hands were used. I only want to find the one who started this." It should be the Dark God.
It's useless to talk to soone who only wants to hold soone responsible. Right now, he wants to find Ari. She's probably not in this realm anymore. "You are afraid of the naless creature."
Cina chortles. "Why would I be afraid? I am a god."
"A naless creature can take away soone else's na, especially if it fits." Adira smiles at him. "I felt Belan's energy in him."
"So what?" Cina glowers at him. "Are you thinking of committing a sin against ? Was my daughter not enough?"
Adira clasps his hands behind his back. "I don't dare. I don't. You don't have to be afraid of . I told you that the one who is truly in wrong would be punished in the trial."
"I don't believe you." Cina flicks his sleeve. Surely, the god of the darkness is up to sothing. "You can find when Kresi returns."
As he's about to return to his kingdom, Adira grasps the back of his collar. The god of lands gave a little part of his powers to his daughter, Belan before he went to sleep. What could the best bait other than the true na of a god that is compatible with the naless creature? How could he let this god leave? "I need your cooperation with the trial's preparation."
"Lies!" Cina snarls at him. "If you don't want to start another war, let go of now."
Adira needs to find Ari. That naless creature is also important for the trial. He let go of Cina's neck and smiles at him. "I see that you don't want to cooperate with ."
Still suspicious, Cina fixes his robe. When he looks up, Adira is no longer standing at the spot. "Where did... Ugh!"
The Dark God looks at the god of lands lying on the ground. But why would he want a war when he can resolve this using fists? After all, his Ari died for this world once. "I wouldn't mind letting that creature beco a god instead of you. Then again, you are quite good at what you do."
Noras and others would bother him a lot if he kills another god.
