It was hidden well by the long white robes similar to mine, but it was clear she was malnourished or sothing… she was just really skinny. I don't know.
She had to be at least 6'2 and had slender fingers that slowly wrapped around my right shoulder.
We suddenly began to phase back into the stone brick floor, and as I held my breath, we phased through it, suddenly dropping into a new room with sothing familiar at the very end of it.
"The violin," I called out, surprising the woman as we fell a few feet onto a circular stone table surrounded by eight chairs.
"Hmmmm~ Who are you~?" The woman asked as I swiveled my head around.
For a mont, I paused… and then, lied straight through my teeth. "I'm an Apostle of the Light God."
The woman was as suspicious as expected, but seeing how she knew of the violin, I could only assu she was similar to an apostle.
"Mhmm… If you are truly an Apostle of the Light God, then you should know his na. I will confirm whether it is real or not once you tell ."
I almost fell for her trap as I opened my mouth before quickly shutting it. This caused her to smile ever so lightly before clapping both of her hands together.
"That's right. I'm not an apostle, so I have no right to know of it… and if you did say it, you would have either been an unredeemable fool or a complete liar."
The woman's smile only grew as my eyes slowly drifted to the violin just across the room. An instrunt so powerful that it could blow an entire city to pieces.
"Do you want to hold it?"
"No, not really. I don't even know how to play the violin."
"There is no need to know how to play it. The violin plays itself according to the wielder's wishes."
I smiled lightly upon seeing how this was the real thing. Not only did this servant know of its real function, but how it played according to the wielder.
"Ahem… Well then, why are you here?"
"I felt a calling, as if sothing was pulling my soul in this direction. And here I was… fighting whatever the hell that light was and appearing in this strange place."

"What is your na?" A voice ca from behind , yet just as I snapped my head around, I saw absolutely nobody there.
When I turned back around, I saw a man in his early twenties clad in a long white robe with long white hair and sparkling nebula eyes that almost seed to embody the limitless potential of space and its universe.
"Cyrus. Who are you?"
"Sobody, who you claim to be… are you really an apostle or just a fraud? Many have claid to be an apostle, yet they've always crumbled under the one question."
He didn't even need to say it, but from the very mont I saw him, I could already tell he was an Apostle of the Light God.
As I waved the status in front of away as inconspicuously as I could, I waited for the man to speak up yet again.
"What is their na?"
This ti, the question changed genders from masculine to sothing more encompassing… as the God of Light was both genders, yet not at the sa ti.
He was feminine and masculine, but not at the sa ti. This was because he had no real form, and no one could really know this besides… well, the one who was this thing.
Upon thinking back to the ti I was in the body of that strange being who was betrayed by their closest comrade, I had a feeling that sothing inside of was astral… no, the very substance that made was astral, like that wasn't my real form.
And just by connecting the dots… it was clear I had embodied the form of the Light God these people speak of.

(Apostle POV)
As I looked at the strange boy from across the room, standing right beside Etheria, who was as suspicious as , I felt sothing within my body shift.
Sothing within seemingly tugged towards the boy, like my soul was attempting to jump out of my body.
'Etheria, he's an aether user. If he says the wrong na, we must kill him imdiately, understood?'
The woman beside nodded after I telepathically spoke to her, and as the boy slowly cracked open his lips, a body appeared behind him.
It was white and glowing, like an imperial form of formless aether, gathering into a being who used this boy as his vessel.
The words that slid from his mouth were silent, entirely unhearable for the mortal ear, yet as an apostle of such a being, I could imdiately tell what the boy had said.
"Ser."
"An apostle should be able to see the status of our holy one, so you should also be able to na their class."
"Aether Celestial."
I couldn't help but smile as I reached out my hand. The boy looked at my slender pale fingers and then grabbed onto them with his own hand.
This was the youngest an apostle has ever been since you normally awaken to aether through a class up, yet it doesn't seem like he's old enough to have one.
But, if he has had one, then not only does that an he's talented, but he's hard-working and willing to follow through with essentially anything.
"Welco, fellow Apostle."
