Still, she couldn't help but wonder if the church could offer any guidance. Ikanbi's journey from Astera to Oak was a quick one, in no time at all she had traveled the countryside and found her way here, a feat which in hindsight surprised her. Had she really covered that much distance in such a short time? She was bewildered. She didn't feel as though she'd made an effort to get here hastily but by all accounts, she had arrived much sooner than she should have. She shoved the thought aside for now, chalking it up to coincidence rather than the reality. The church was in sight now and there appeared to be someone sitting outside having a picnic. As Ikanbi drew closer she gasped. A halo?!
Ikanbi's mind raced with wild thoughts. Was she looking at an angel?! She hesitantly stepped forwards as Nico her companion strolled up closer, inching closer and closer to Tempris and her picnic as Ikanbi followed not too far behind. Ikanbi paused a few feet away from Tempris, not entirely sure what she should say. "I...Um...Are you?" She stared at her feline companion for a moment. "I came to the church for some guidance but I...I've never seen an angel before." Her words faltered. "You...are an angel...right?"

Meanwhile, something new sparked her attention. A sinner was walking towards her. Did they seek her baptism? Did they have a job for her? She was not a member of those other sinful organizations belonging to her mother or that heretical sun worshiper anymore. So she closed her eyes and asked her lord for guidance. It was here that she was shown... praise... for once. She opened her eyes in a bit of shock.
Like of course she deserved it. She was the Herald of Rapture, the one who would bring this world into a sinless existence. However nobody saw it that way. Breaking into a smirk, the girl picked up her warm milk. "Seeking guidance? I suppose its not unbecoming to attempt to better once self in the eyes of thy lord..." the girl let out a short chuckle, "But at last I fear those below are just sheep following the loudest voice and I am no angel." The girl's took a sip of her milk. That was not entirely true. While she was not an angel, it was only because the term was technically called Nephilim or Seraphim and she was a Nephilim. It was something she wanted to advertise though as it would bring... unwanted attention and make her life mission a bit harder than it needed to be. "But I do appreciate the compliment. I think more people should consider me something of the sort given the work I have done to help this country rid itself of sin."
"Miss, I employ that instead of speaking to another sinner for words, you should look at your past and then seek guidance from Illumin himself."

Illumin? Ikanbi had to admit that while she knew of the name she had never particularly been a worshipper. When had she the time? Her life was chaos, she was always busy with one task or another, moving from location to location on either a hunt or a business venture. "Has Illumin spoke to you?" Ikanbi asked. "You seem...like the type of...being that might do that sort of thing...whatever you are...." Ikanbi eyed Tempris curiously. "No matter. Angel or not, that Halo is quite something to look at in any case."
"I don't really know what to ask him, Illumin I mean. I used to go to church some when I was younger but life has wound me through a different path."

"There is no need. I trust in faith that whatever happens... its for the best." Tempris closes her eyes to contain her own urges. There were times and places for everything. The woman's next question did help though. The girl exhales, "I believe angels are creatures of fiction or a title for biblical champions of various gods in various myths. I am neither fictional, nor a hero for some heretical being. I am just a simple girl who seeks a warmer world." Tempris then pulled off her necklace and her halo completely disappeared. "When I was younger, I adored the stories about angels and champions. So I had this made. Its just a simple effect from the lacrima in here. I hope that doesn't take away from any angelic attributes I may still have." Tempris let out a small giggle before opening her sharp yellow eyes.
The next question the girl brought up was more interesting. Tempris Looked up before dropping her eyes to her necklace. "Illumin guides all. Even now he is delivering his wisdom. Why do you think we have met each other. But... I suppose you're looking for a more direct answer. No, he has never directly spoke to me." Then Tempris giggled, "Oh and I'm just a human. A girl who was saved from the sin of others."
Tempris was taken a bit back when the girl mention not knowing what to ask Illumin. Was she not seeking guidance? Was she nervous? "Illumin loves all, sinners to heretics will all be forgiven once they embrace his warmth... but such things can be daunting. Is there anything you need? Are you troubled by anything? Or perhaps, maybe you already know the answer you seek. Not everyone is as lost as they might believe."

"My apologies, where are my manners?" Ikanbi began, "I am Ikanbi, Ikanbi Liivuduntiz, and this little baby is Nico." Ikanbi had said with a grin of her own. "I'm not necessarily sure it is a need so much as a desire...but I wish to purge the world of evil. I've spent my life hunting vampires, werewolves, and demons..."
"I guess you could say I also wish for a warmer world." She added finally. "Though I'll admit I've been not doing much of the purging as of late. Seems the dark denizens of Fiore are a little sharper, no...a lot smarter than the ones back home. Much more secretive, much harder to track down."

"Tell me something Ms. Should a demon come to you with the desire to rid the world of evil... what would you do?" This was an important test. While there was no wrong answer, how Tempris would handle this new asset... this gift from Illumin, would have to be adjusted and or changed.

"Well...In my journeys I have come across many types of critters and creatures. Just as all holy men are not necessarily good, so too not all Vampires, Werewolves, and Demons are necessarily evil. I would like to think that somewhere out there there exists those that wish to redeem themselves and do better for the world." She laughed. "It could be wishful and wasted thinking of course, for I'll admit I haven't found any good demons yet, but the amount of vampires I've stumbled upon that were do-gooders and not depraved and crazed does give me a bit of hope."
"Surely even a demon deserves a chance, right?"

"Why don't you come with me? I have recently achieve a more interesting realm of employment that could benefit both of us."
