Jack's ears perked up. "Holy site?"
"The Temple of Radiant Dawn," Seryth explained. "It's where we commune with the divine forces that give the Aurion our power. Any outsider who wishes to benefit from our clan's services must first demonstrate proper respect."
A holy site. Which meant potential contact with divine entities. Which meant a possible meeting with Draven, the god who'd given Jack his pendant and held the keys to his class advancement.
"Fine," Jack said immediately. "I'll pay your respects."
Seryth looked surprised by his quick agreement, but nodded. "I'll arrange an escort to take you there after you've finished here."
Jack turned his attention to his reanimated servant, who had remained kneeling silently throughout the conversation. The undead demon's hollow eyes were fixed on the ground, its posture submissive.
"Lift your head," Jack commanded.
The servant obeyed, raising its burnt, one-armed form until its hollow eyes met Jack's red eyes.
