The Priestess Of Rodona

"Here! Hurry! We don't have much time anymore as when you stepped in here, it started the invisible timer." The wisp said to the confused Elvire. They came to a massive room that was otherwise empty. There was an enormous altar in the middle of the room with an hourglass in the middle of the altar. The hourglass was almost empty as the last of the sands inside of it was slowly dripping down to the bottom, before disappearing.  "Our God's last relic is this church's glass of time. Now, I remember he was a half-god of time and death. There was also something else, when the god is alive, his artifacts were hourglasses. At that time, each smaller hourglass signifies every villager's name and the time they had left in this village. However, that big one there is the only one left. You need to take control of this hourglass and power it to defeat the demon. Don't worry; you will see what I mean when you touch it." The wisp said as it suddenly got excited again after remembering something. "Touch it? Is that it? Hmm?" Elvire asked, unsure. The wisp replied to confirm excitedly.  "Hurry! We don't have any time left anymore; the shield will crack at any moment!" The wisp suddenly shouted.  In fact, it was right. If they had seen outside, they would have seen that the once empty market was now quickly getting crowded by the undead. Elvire walked towards the hourglass and touched it suddenly; her mind went blank, and an ancient voice was speaking inside her head. "I feel my friend's powers in you, a high priestess of Rodona. You are like me and don't belong here. You aren't like any other race here and are stranded here like happened to me. You grow slow but quick at the same time. You will look different since death will always be around you and had embraced you since you were born." The ancient voice spoke slowly and majestically.  "You might be the last of our kind along with Rodona and now seeking your place from this new world. You have the power to become a goddess or a demon. Even though the strand of time is wrapped around you, and no one can predict what is going to happen when you are here. Your path might be hard to walk, but no matter which path you take, you will have allies and those who will hunt you down, wanting to stop you."  "Maybe you will find your way back to our home, to your family and race. Perhaps you plan to embrace this world or another one. But now let me give you a gift that Rodona cannot.  As your elder, I will guide you for a moment before I depart from this world. I can finally lay down to eternal rest and began my life once again, if I am lucky to have a chance to that. So good luck, youngling, and I hope your path will be the one you want and not something you were forced." The voice said encouragingly.  Then it continued with seriousness, "Even when Rodona might be your ally now, be wary of her as she hasn't survived this long by chance. Be careful of her. That is all I have to say.  Let me gift you my most precious treasure." The voice said before the massive hourglass turned smaller and smaller as it heads towards Elvire and enter her body. It then slowly merged with her soul. If someone could see the inside of her soul, they would be shocked.  Her soul now has a raven, small round but fluffy beast and hourglass floating around in a space.  When the hourglass merged with Elvire, the barrier broke down, and the undead immediately tried to break the door and the barricade behind it with all their might. "What is going on down there? If they don't come back soon, I will go down there myself!" Levin said anxiously because the undead could already breach through the door soon. With this in mind, Levin took out Elvire's crossbow from the spatial bag and jammed it against a bench aimed straight towards the door. "The barricade won't last long! Hahaha! After a minute, we can go inside-argh, no, you should be dead! You have to be dead! You cannot be alive anymore! I destroyed you personally!" The demon howled as it repeatedly shouts the same thing over and over again.  At the same time, Elvire walked from the underground, and the wisps bowed down. "Our honorable Lord is back his here again! I can feel his power…" The wisp said while following Elvire back to the church. "The madness, the sorrow, the one who turns you into darkness, you have many names, but with my last strength and the strength of the priestess, I will destroy you so that you cannot inflict darkness to this world ever again! Even when she's still young, but she has enough power to destroy you!" The same ancient voice said to the demon though Elvire's mouth.  After this, the ancient voice spoke to Elvire in her soul, 'My child, I have imprinted everything that I know in your head as an apology that I need to borrow your body for this.' The voice then stopped. As soon as it does, the same hourglass that Elvire saw in the underground manifested itself to the earth.
