I have served the light for thirty years, until the light showed its fangs to me.
Now I only kneel down to one person. He was forgotten by the world, pierced by chains, and trapped in the abyss for thousands of years.
He is the gentlest being I have ever seen, and he is also the last god in this world.
——Reinhardt
Reinhard, the chief knight of the Templars, saw his faith collapse overnight after witnessing the bloody sacrifices of the church. He betrayed the Holy City, was seriously injured, and fell into the abyss that no one dared approach.
There he found no death.
He found Aino.
It was an existence imprisoned deep in the underground palace by six chains of light. The body is translucent, as if it is made of moonlight. A pair of light golden eyes are quiet and gentle, without any impurities. He once protected mankind during Ragnarok thousands of years ago, but was betrayed by the race he protected and imprisoned here. His divine power was extracted to maintain the church's false miracles.
No one knows. No one remembers. No one came to rescue.
Reinhard knelt in front of him and asked not "Who are you", but - "Do you want to leave?"
From then on, a knight with broken faith and a god forgotten by the world met each other in the abyss.
He used his sword to cut off the chains for him at the cost of his own memory.
He accompanied him out of the ten thousand years of darkness and set foot on the earth again.
They watched the sunrise in the wilderness, soaked in the rain in the valley, and found a stone house in the mountains to settle down. He warded him off from the pursuers of the church, and lit up the glimmer of the abyss for him.
It turns out that the most indestructible faith in the world is not to kneel down and worship the gods, but to wield a sword for you.
