The Priestess in Love with a God's Enemy

[Riza]

Now I've been asked to write more about Mariela.. so I try to get this continued

It has been months yet, since the awful tragedy has happened. Mariela put silently a white rose on the grave of her parents. The past hurt. She was already grown up without a mother .. but now she lost even her father ..
She repressed the thought of her beloved brother. Inside, she refused to think of him or even to mourn.
Mariela got slowly up, her hand gently stroke her belly...
Yet she left the abbey to study something of - in her oppinion - greater significance. By now she knew, that the new technic, which was responsible for the death of Felix, was called Asura Strike. And since she knew its weakness, Mariela wore a vest under her garment, enchanted with the ghost's spirit.
Still stroking her stomach, suddenly something happened that inevitably caused a smile on Marielas face. Indeed Felix didn't finally leave her. His life, which ended so early would be continued by that little proof of their love, which was growing in Mariela's belly, since that snowy cold night in the abandoned landscape...
Mariela turned and glanced at the shadowy figure, which was standing at the church wall, whereupon he emerged from the shadows and went to Mariela. With a serious look he put her a warm cloak over her shoulders and helped her on the white mare, Rossana. Himself he stayed down and took the horse by the reins.
This was Meurtrier, the Brother of Felix, who lived in Morocc. The brothers could hardly be more different. While Felix created life, like Bora, the little sheepy, actually an homunculus, Meutrier was ending them. Initially it did cost her a lot of overcoming, to visit Felix' brother, who was actually an assassin. But what other choice did she have, since Felix was dead.. And although Meutrier used to be very silent, he still stood out as a pleasant fellow.
Unfortunately Bora left immediately, right after her master has died.. The typical behaviour of those homunculus.. Once they loose their owner, they become terribly sad and just leave..
Meutrier led Rossana through the narrow streets of Prontera. They never passed the market. Them both it had probably recalled Felix too much...
"Meurtrier..?" The young assassin suddenly was disappeared. Mariela knew, due to her studies, that in the assassin guild they exchanged secrets with each other - one was the trick about Cloaking. Meurtrier was professional and he mastered that trick perfectly yet. But he never used it while Mariela was present. Suddenly she felt very lonely and had a bad feeling, as she recognized in a corner some dark shapes...
