"We have many beings in our group that have Solar Energy but there is only one that truly controls the Sun. He also has many names depending on the time of day he is worshipped. He is called Ra-Horakhty when the morning sun is in the sky, Amun Ra when the noonday sun is at its peak, and Atum Ra when the evening sun sets.
We often just call him Sun God Ra when speaking of him and he is the father of the western continent gods. He was our light that shined the way, and it was his boat, the Mandjet, that ferried the western gods to this universe. He even created the divine realm of Heliopolis, but the western gods cannot enter it with him gone.
As you know it is the God Seth, is currently the one operating the Mandjet to make sure that sun rises and falls accordingly. He is also the current god that is fighting against the Distorted God Apophis. We do not know what really happened to him, but the Oracle Sisters said that he split into four." The High Priestess Estet stated.
"So, no solar energy for me then?" Adrian stated as he suddenly felt dejected.

You must kill Desert Sun Beetles as they collect the energy of the sun in their cores. They are the creations of one of the Sun God called Khepri." The High Priestess Estet stated.
"Can I just not ask from the Temple of Khepri or something for the energy?" Adrian asked as that might be easier, but the High Priestess Estet suddenly frowned as she remembered an unpleasant memory.
"The Sun God Khepri is no longer giving blessings because he was killed back then when the angels attacked all gods that have relation to any source of light. If the Sun God Ra did not get killed by the Distorted Gods in the Great War of the Gods back, then he would have defeated the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
We would also not have been weakened to this extent as he was the one that made the western continent flourish. He was also said to be a creator god which is why he had life energy magic at his disposal as well but that is yet to be confirmed. Records of the Sun God Ra have vanished as the angels burned his temples to ashes." The High Priestess Estet stated.
"It seems that the angels really needed that punishment. Why were they not killed but were sealed instead?" Adrian asked.
"Even we do not know but things were chaotic back then as the Asmodians were also gone at that point. There was no longer a governing body that looked over the scales. The Daemos were too busy sealing the cracks of the dimension to focus on everything." The High Priestess Estet stated which suddenly made the room gloomy.
"Anyways, thank you for the hospitality. One last thing that I need to ask of you is where can we find the Desert Sun Beetles. They do not happen to just be lying around in a certain place at this time of the year, right?" Adrian asked.
"Coincidentally, they actually are as this is the time of the year where the sun hangs longer during the day. They can be seen further northeast from the Great Gorge as they are in the Burning Sun Sand Dunes. Let me guide you to the Great Gorge as I want to send you off." The High Priestess Estet stated.
"Thank you for your hospitality. Do come visit us as well when you have the time and know that we shall come help if the Temple of Bastet needs it." Adrian stated which made the High Priestess Estet somewhat happy as this is a promise from a Champion himself.
When Adrian and the High Priestess Estet were talking, Vitae heard the voice of the Goddess Gaea whisper in her ear. She smiled and did what the goddess told her to do. She took out a seed from one of the plants in the garden and planted it on the ground.

"A gift for your hospitality to us. May the Anemone grant you protection as all of you grant protection to others." Vitae stated which made the High Priestess Estet bow in front of Vitae.
"Thank you for the wonderful gift, Prophet Vitae. We will make sure to cherish the gift." The High Priestess Estet stated.

"That should be a great gift to those very kind children of Bastet. I hope that she finds peace with my gift." The Goddess Gaea stated.
"Why not just admit that you are lonely when your brother is out, and you need a friend? It is not like you cannot interact with other gods. Why not find a partner like your brother? I bet the other gods would be dying to crawl beneath your feet as you crush them with it.
You always had that tendency anyways. It is not always a god anyways as you could also make do with a goddess. You people are not really limited to what you look like unlike the mortals that you have created." Yewdrassil retorted as some of its branches could be seen trimmed.
"Maybe I went a little too easy on the trimming. A little more to this side should do the trick." The Goddess Gaea stated as she took up the giant pruning shears and motioned a snip.
"No! No more! I will go bald at this rate! I was just giving you sound advice." The scream of Yewdrassil could be heard in Paraiso but no other being could hear the cries for help. One thing that the mortals did notice is that the fruits on that day were very bitter for some odd reason.
