SHE IS THE POPE
[attr=class,punkisaintscontent] "If you wish so, then I wouldn't mind. It'll be a little secret between us." The Pope spoke as she gestured her hand to indicate her willfulness for the detail of the garden to be a little secret.[break][break]
"And don't be nervous, my child. The garden is worthy of compliment." The Pope patted the little girl once again to assure her.
The Halfling gulped, her pulps going down once more. Strange, she noted. It was not often someone could calm her from her anxiety as it had already began. Yukai had tried numerous times to no avail, but something about this woman... She couldn't quite put her finger on it. "Hey," she whispered clutching Saniac's hand a bit tighter, "Can we...can we stay here a little longer? I want to look at the stars with someone, you. I came a long, long road. Right there, right here. That one, this one. Big hole take us away forever now. Need...a nap," her eyes were already beginning to shut as she shifted to lay on the elf's shoulder without much notice.

[attr=class,punkisaintscontent] "You can stay here as long as you wish, because in the garden, time also sleeps." The Pope watched as the halfling slowly drifted into her sleep. Her posture, when sitting and tending to the little girl, resembled the Holy Mother— elegant and tranquil.[break][break]
The Pope slightly moved and put the halfing into sleep in a more comfortable position, letting her rest upon her laps as she gazed upon the star, waiting for time to wake up.
And as she finally stirred, Yume awoke to the sight of Saniac above her and was immediately at ease. "Woah," she blinked rapidly as she looked up at the veiled figure in awe and ease. "Maybe you...maybe you can save us after all. Strong, motherly. But best of all, you feel. Yume gives a seal of approval, religion lady." And with that, all sense of urgency seemed to dissipate from Yume. She wondered- could this elf really be the one chosen by the goddesses to restore peace to Pavane once and for all? "You didn't even leave me in my sleep, religion lady," tears welled in her eyes. "That's hardcore." Taking a big gulp and wiping away her tears, she returned her eyes to the sky, pointing to a star. "Look. There. Yume's home is there. Maybe someday, you can come there too? We can play fun games. Does religion know of 'sock her?' Not great, but not here at Pavane either. Only in dream."

[attr=class,punkisaintscontent] "Someday, maybe someday. Unfortunately, today is not the time." The Pope spoke as she thought about something. Her 'free' time was almost at its end, and she should come back to the main church. She still had works to do; she was the Pope after all.[break][break]
"Little one, our time is sadly approaching its end. Do you have anything final to say?" The Pope looked around in the garden before placing her gentle gaze at Yume, waiting for her to speak.
"Hmmmnnnnh," her groggy voice spoke as she tried to think of something to say. Disappointed, Yume frowned and dugged on the shoulder or Saniac. "Nooo! I don't want to go! You're nice." She was about to throw a tantrum, but ultimately decided against it. With a sigh, she concluded, "Well....all right. Can wait more days for more miss religion, guess. Yume can see again...right? (Bro doesn't need to come next time because he's an idiotic.)" She prepared herself mentally to go back home to that awful place.

[attr=class,punkisaintscontent] "There is no need for sadness, Yume. In the end, everyone must walk on their own." The Pope patted her head lightly before slowly moved her away.[break][break]
"Nevertheless, you are always welcomed to stay at the church. Maybe, we might meet again someday, if fate permits so." The Pope looked around the garden and walked in a particular direction. Her hand touched an invisible handle and turned it.[break][break]
The seemingly empty space broke apart, revealing the other side. The Pope casually stepped into it and walked out of the chapel, leaving the two children on their own, protected from all danger of the outside world.
And as the illusion faded, Yume turned quickly to her brother sharing a brief moment of silent confusion. He held his tea close and offered her a smile as he extended the cup to her. "It's not real, but quite tasty nonetheless," she whispered. Wordless, Yume and he spent but a moment longer in the chapel praying.
Yume would never forget the kindness of Saniac as long as she lived. On the altar before her, she left a small offering of cheese before pulling Yukai back home.
Living in a dystopian society, seven mystic races are trapped due to their own selfishness. Tensions rise between the races and the different social classes, leading up to the constant struggle for power, with no end in sight.
