The epiphany makes you think about your destiny, but you're still tired and quickly go to sleep. When you wake up, you see that Tom has almost fully recovered from his injuries, and he decides to start teaching you wilderness survival.

Powerless Priestess

You reach his hut and immediately find a small bottle of medicine right in the door, and you manage to return to Tom in mere moments. He's recovered quite a bit, and says that he won't need the medicine, but that he will need your help to carry his stuff for him. You help him on his way, as you can see that he has a limp, and after a while you reach the cabin. Although it's the middle of the day, you're still extremely tired, and Tom immediately climbs into the only bed in the house. You decide to sleep with him, lying on the cold floor and dreaming about returning to your old, luxurious life.

Powerless Priestess

Tom is mostly silent, still in a lot of pain, but you can see that it's starting to subside. After the quick meal and spending a few more minutes recovering, you're fit enough to walk, and you decide to look around, making sure to stay close to Tom. There doesn't seem to be anythingnelse in the forest, so you consider walking up to Tom's cabin to maybe find some more medicine there.

Powerless Priestess

Immediately, it burns, before being replaced with a pleasing, indescribable sensation as the bleeding stops and your wound gets cleaned. You apply a lot more to the rest of your body, and you can feel that you're recovering at a marveling rate. However, you still need to take it easy and decide to wait a bit while you recover. Tom is also starting to recover, and you decide to take this time to eat a bit Tom's food. It seems to be some kind of meat made from... fused beef jerky!? Anyway, this strange and exotic food still tastes great!

The bear hesitates just enough for Tom to fire his bow into its side, causing it to bleed profusely and focus on getting Tom. It jumps at him, smashingnhil nto the ground, before it really bleeds out. You take the chance to stab the bear and it collapses from its bleeding, although it barely manages to swipe in the leg you with a claw before finally dying. You can see that Tom is covered in blood, mostly from the bear, but he's still injured and in a lot of pain. Pain suddenly rushes through your body as your adrenaline rush dies down, and you fall to your knees right above Tom.

Powerless Priestess

Tom seems to be a bit more anxious than before, but he's still supportive. He leads you towards his cabin in the huts, and as you walk through the night, you can actually see it. However, you're still forced to camp for the night, and Tom takes the opportunity to teach you a bit about nature and survival in the wilderness.

Suddenly, you're attacked by a bear! Tom runs away in fear, and all you have is your tiny knife!

Powerless Priestess

Tom greedily accepts your money, rudely taking it out of your hands and quickly slipping them into a small pocket in his backpack. He thanks you for it and starts calming down.

"Sadly, no. It's quite an elaborate process to be able to move in there; I own a house just outside the city, so you can stay there if you really want to. I'd really love to find out why a lady of the faith such as yourself would leave your home." Tom suddenly notices your talisman, before quickly asking what it is. "It doesn't look like any other talisman I've ever seen; but at the same time, I'm not very religious."

Powerless Priestess

The man quickly turns around, ready to fire at you. However, after a few minutes of thinking, he calms down and asks you what your name is. He also talks a bit about himself, saying that he's a hunter who lives in Neero City and that his name is Tom. He seems like a nice guy and is very respectful towards you as he can see that you're a priestess.

Powerless Priestess

You find out that it's a person, probably a hunter, holding a bow at the ready. He seems to be very well-trained and wears a big backpack; what do you do?

Powerless Priestess

"Silent, but unyielding faith..." You haven't come that far; you just found the idol, found out what it meant and kept it anyway. You don't believe in anything, yet.
