-Unfortunately, we have some duties to attend to. - The sergeant looked embarrassed. - I'll visit the chapel when I have a free moment. - He added quickly.
-Perhaps another time,- echoed the captain.
-Hmm... There will be some time before the work piles up,- the supervisor nodded seriously. His face showed that he was still calculating something.
-We'll be happy to join you,- the master smiled slightly.
Draco said nothing, relying on his mentor.
-There is nothing left to do but thank everyone for this shared meal.- The priest rose from his seat and moved towards the door. Mrs Bradson and Supervisor Firsk followed him.
Darius rose from his seat and then stopped, looking at his student.
-I haven't asked you this yet.- Bleist glanced at the door behind which Reverend Sommenfell was disappearing.- Which gods do you worship?
-Actually... none.- The dragon shrugged.- I'm not very religious. - A crooked smile appeared on his face involuntarily. - I've always had enough problems of my own to worry about whether the gods would cause me any more. - He muttered quietly enough that only his master could hear him. Darius nodded in understanding. - Although once in a while I went with my aunt to the temple of Tianlong or Thanatos. On the anniversary of my uncle and cousin's death, we also made offerings to Direl.- Draco didn't attach much importance to this. He had learned long ago that the gods did not listen to the prayers of their followers, but appeared when they themselves needed something. Sure, sometimes they graciously appear in temples to warn of something or command something that, in hindsight, will prove to be a salvation for many. More often, however, divine prophecies, commands and prohibitions remain incomprehensible to mortals. It also happened that offended deities would curse someone or, through their followers, make that person's life difficult, if they did not want to take their life away. Draco weighed the pros and cons of faith and decided that it would be best for him if the gods were not interested in him at all.
