"I'm fine, as long as I know my sister's....not done anything wrong. I swear....."

Yliss turns around to see a young-looking goblin, hunched over on his knees, carrying a satchel and clutching a crystal tablet. He spends a few moments coughing and breathing heavily, catching his breath before he holds up the tablet to Yliss.

On it is playing a video of Keith and Orobas fighting fiercely at the stands.
"Is.....is......is this....are these.....you guys?"

2177
".....Keilee, why are you looking at me like that?"
The woman shrugs at Keith.
".....whatever floats your boat. Say, if you find Discordia, tell her she's welcome here any time. It's nice not being the only one doing all the work around here."

Meanwhile, Yliss and Momo feel the distinct sense that someone is sprinting right behind them.

2178
"If you're wondering why they're not letting people in.......apparently, well....I saw the old man getting heading into a room after those other weirdos went in and....when he got out, he was babbling about Lady Freya and being told not to let anyone inquire about Discordia or Freya. Honestly.....weirdest crap that I don't get paid to put up with."

2179
"Look, I hate Freya probably more than all of you combined because I've had to put up with that hag for three-thousand years. But we need to focus. If we burn down her temple, we'll be arrested and my other sisters would get away with everything they're trying or the Demon Generals would win."
"We can't go to Midgardia first. We'd need to get the Adventurer Emblem from Wybernia first, otherwise we'd be barred from entry. That's the problem with this whole adventurer thing."

2180
"Well, nobody else believed it was Discordia, but....well, I paid attention in Sunday classes. They always said Discordia would work tirelessly for mortals. Though, of course, her being real modest about it helped. She was in disguise, you see. Called herself Sister Chris. Never wanted any credit, never showed her face, and worked day and night doing stuff like getting soup to the homeless or getting kittens out of trees. She was too modest, too nice to not be hiding something. I figured it was either some atoning murderer or Discordia, and, well....."
"....that sounds like my sister. Carry on."
Serena sounds.....almost proud?
".....anyway, she figured she was finished up here and left about two days ago. Said she'd be going to Midgardia. Ishim, to be exact. Said it was because she felt she needed to help out there."
"Ishim's one of her favourite places. There's this ice cream parlor she likes eating at when she's taking a break from helping out mortals."
"Ice cream? ......I never figured her to indulge that way."
"Sea salt ice cream's her favorite flavor. She'd always treat me to a cone back when I was up there."

2181
"I can hear you, you know. And are you seriously telling me that that chick's the goddess Serena? That pipsqueak?"
The woman gestures to Serena, who looks irritated.
"....yes?
The young cleric exhales deeply and nods.
"....you know what, I'll buy that. Discordia always said you were touchy about nobody giving you any respect for being a Goddess. Yeah. Discordia was here."

2182
".....right. So you really are looking for Discordia?"
The woman sighs, again.
".....well. Don't tell me you actually believe those rumours that the Goddess herself works around here. That's totally ridiculous."

2183
The woman grumbles.
"Ugh. I hate this. Lemme guess, you're with those other weirdos from earlier who were asking in about Freya? Apparently all the higher-ups have been told not to let anyone in asking about any of the Goddesses."
She sighs, rubbing the back of her head.
".....don't tell me you were looking for Freya too. This is a Discordian temple. If you want the Freyan Temple, just look for the naked statues of her. Ten minutes away, past Grifen Square, take a left on Gregor Boulevard."

2184
The door, being one of those massive temple doors made of stone and sturdy wood and having fairly complex locking mechanisms more complex than a latch or even a key mechanism, doesn't make itself amenable to Keith's kicking.

As Keith continues kicking the door, however, a low, somewhat irritated female voice sounds out to the left.
"Who's making that racket out here?"
A small-looking woman, wearing a habit that obscures her face and wearing the gray and black colors of Discordia's faithful, is looking at the gaggle assembled in front of the temple door.

2185
"We are NOT burning down Discordia's temple! Didn't you hear him? Frey....wait. W-what was Freya doing telling them NOT to let us in?"

2186
"Lady S-Serena?!"
The look on his face is clear. That isn't the first Goddess he's seen today.
"My orders are a-accurate! By order of Lady Freya, I-I cannot allow you to contact Lady Discordia! Wall of Force!"
An invisible wall indeed begins to press Keith, Jenkins and Serena out of the temple, as the old man struggles to shut the door, barely managing to squeeze out Keith before he presses the door shut with a loud boom and a click.

2187
"Discordia?"
The old cleric pauses for a second, before stepping back across the boundary into the temple, his expression changing to one of suspicion.
"I am sorry, my child, but I'm afraid the temple is closing right now."

2188
"See? This is why I keep Keith around!"
With that, Serena stomps off towards the old cleric, without waiting for Keith to catch up. The old cleric seems surprised for a few moments. He addresses the people approaching him.
"Hello, children of the Goddesses. How may we be of service today?"

2189
"Alright, then someone come with me and ask the old guy some questions if we're waiting to contact my sister already!""

2190
"Well, you should all make up your minds already about if we're looking for this eighth general or not! I want to get moving and I want an explanation! I can't believe my sisters have been leaving me out of something again!"
"Y-yeah....sure...."
