Enveloped in a bright golden light, Eruhaben-nim appears in the Church of the Sun God's inner room where the Saint and Fake Holy Maiden reside. The pair of siblings are startled awake by the sudden burst of energy announcing his arrival. It was already past midnight and the two looked at the ancient dragon groggily.

"I'm sorry for disturbing your rest, however, I need the Saint to come with me immediately," the golden haired man explains with urgency. "Young Master Cale has been attacked and is in a dire situation."

"Wha-?" the blonde sword master gasps as she watches her twin brother briskly hop out of bed and run to the dragon's side. She knew very well he could care less about the fact he was still in his nightgown. Shaking her head in understanding, she sighs.

"Please send me the coordinates. I'll head over soon," she calls after them.

With a quick nod, Eruhaben teleports the two back to the guest room in the Estaile Estate.

A flash of light fills the beige walled room with the arrival of the two everyone was waiting for. However, upon examining the room carefully, the young saint freezes in horror. Laying not far from where they stood was the youth who had saved him and his sister. The person who had given them hope and a future looked as if he was at death's door. Radiating out of him was a frightening energy that was making him feel nauseous by just being in the room with it.

With shaking hands, he turns to face the Crown Prince of the Roan Kingdom who was looking at him with concern. "Are you alright?" the blond haired, blue eyed man asks him.

"I-I don't know how much of a help I can be," he says as he swallows back tears.

"What do you mean?" Alberu inquires as he approaches the trembling healer.

"T-terrifying-" Jack whimpers. "The d-divine energy coming out of Young Master C-Cale is terrifying."

All eyes shoot towards the suffering disguised redhead as they hear the Saint's words.

"Divine Energy?" Eruhaben-nim frowns as he examines the unconscious youth. "I couldn't sense anything though."

"I-I'm serious. I-I've never felt something this overwhelming-" pausing he recalls the sensation he felt the day he had experienced the Sun God's presence first hand. "E-except from a G-God."

"Not an envoy of the Gods?" Choi Han meets the blond's eyes seeking further clarification.

"Definitely not!" Jack exclaims with unease. "Only a God could emit such a frightful aura."

"Then Cale-nim was hurt by a God?"

"Based on what I can see and feel, that is the most likely explanation," the Saint confirms meekly. "I don't know how effective my powers will be or how long the effects will last."

Silence fills the room as the group struggles to deal with their chaotic emotions. What could they possibly do to end his suffering? How could they make the God responsible pay? Why did this unlucky human keep having to endure so much alone?

Breaking the quiet, the prince turns to Jack with a desperate gaze. "Please at least try."

"I will," the blond pair both approach the bed and the youngest of the two places his hand gently on the closest exposed arm.

Slowly, a gold aura surrounds the young saint before it creeps along the ashen skin of the hero. The healing light begins to struggle against the dark grey mist that was apparently only visible to those used to the presence of divine energy. Flinching from the strong force's resistance, the youth watches helplessly as the red fluid begins to pool faster than before.
