Selic yawned, opening the door to his chambers. He noticed Julian coming around the corner. "Ah, there you are!" he said.
"The other priests are here." Julian informed. "I was taking them to the guest rooms, but they insisted on having a word with you first."
"Is that so?" Selic asked, closing the door. He and Julian then started walking down the hall to the staircase leading down to the ground floor. "Are they in the meeting chambers then?"
"Yeah." Julian answered.
They continued walking, down the stairs, then down the hall to the meeting room.
"...and all Tolsa did was ask her out! Can you believe that?" Brella babbled, on her knees and leaning on the right arm of a vacant chair adjacent from the group of priests, who were resting as they waited for Selic. "Oh! And that's not the worst of it! The next day, she told him she needed to go to her sister's for the summer, but he knew-"
"I see Brella's been keeping you company." Selic interrupted.
Brella stood up and turned to Selic. "Well they mentioned how they all met through the church, so I had to tell them how one of my friends met this really religious girl. He really liked her but she didn't turn ou-"
"Can we discuss this later?" Selic asked as Julian walked in behind him.
"Oh, uh... sure." Brella said, backing up against the wall.
"Sorry about that." Selic said to the priests. "...you wanted to see me though?"

"Ah Father Larafi," Hurshil said. "Charming girl there. Now then, what business do you have with us today?"
"Father Nean," Darny interrupted, whispering in Hurshil's ear. "You asked to speak with him, about that incident with the alter..."
"Alter? Oh yes the alter," Hurshil said. "I understand that... err... James? Jurnarin? Julian? Yes that's it, that Julian there was taken to another world or some such by the power of the alter. What we've heard so far has been lacking a bit in detail. Is there anything more that you can tell us about that?"

"Julian is a part of our church now, Father Nean." Selic said. "Please, call him Brother Turner."
Julian stepped forth. "It was not unlike a dream. I had memories of another life in a completely different world."
"Tell them how you managed to find yourself there in the first place." Selic suggested.
"It all happened when I found the alter." Julian explained. "It must've reacted to the presence of a holy being."

"I see," Hurshil replied. "Tell us more about what you saw in that other world. What was it like?"

"Only humans populated the world." Julian explained. "Their technological level was far more advanced. But what was strange is, their cultures were diverse. Some even similar to this world's.

"Only humans?" Hurshil asked. "That is difficult to imagine. What kind of religion do those humans in that world have? Do they worship the same gods we do?"

"It's very hard to tell..." Julian explained. "It seems as though no god interacts with them any more. As a result, they have dozens upon dozens of different believe structures. Some even deny that any form of deity even exists. My guess it that the gods of that world simply gave up on it."
"Sounds like some sort of dystopia if it's that bad." Selic commented.
"Yeah." Julian said. "They treat religion as more of a belief structure than an alliance with the god they worship."

"That's a shame," Hurshil replied. "Though I find it difficult to believe a god would abandon a world like that."
"Perhaps the humans there drove them away?"Darny asked.

"The history of that world is too chaotic to tell." Julian said.
"...well, how about we go see what Marendy's up to?" Selic suggested. "She's probably eager to play for everyone."

"Marendy?" Hurshil asked. "Was there someone else here?"
"She's the musician who came here to play some music," Darny reminded Hurshil.
Marendy straightened out her dress, adjusting it so it looked just right. She then walked over to her lute and picked it up. "Ok, we're going to put on a great performance tonight," she said to it, plucking on the strings a few times. "I wonder if that meeting is over yet," she said to no one in particular.
