Astrid's POV:
"I need to get this done quickly..."
Astrid muttered as a never-before-seen duty filled Astrid's entire being. Her mind passed onto the duty that Austin left her, the Holy Son of Razellia and the man that has opened her heart up to things she never thought were possible.
It's been years since she took on the duty of the Saintess of Razellia. She is the highest power within the church and head of all the other witches. She was named the Head Witch to all and held considerable powers. Her might would only go under those of the 5 Cardinal directions and some hidden elders.
The start of Astrid's life wasn't easy. She went through a lot of pain, despair, and hunger in her early days, long before she became the Saintess of Razellia. She could still remember that rainy day when she was chosen. She was given the opportunity to take the mantle of the Head Witch, but in return, she would be losing a lot.
She would gain the passive effect of destruction, making it such that she wouldn't be able to physically hold a person for a long time. If she did, they would soon slowly die out. It wasn't as effective as the curses that affect Razellia, but it still makes biological physical contact with another person impossible for Astrid.
This also comes with her inability to never have a family, to never fall in love, and to never have a child of her own. Astrid knew all this when she took up her position, cause being the saint meant to receive more level of divinity and power from Razellia, which would translate to her receiving more amount of curses.
She knew it and she took it with open arms, for her who had nothing, it was the best offer and she didn't regret it. Instead, she gained a humongous family to herself, one which she grew up to cherish and care for. Plus, after a long time, she was the first saintess that appeared, as it ain't easy for Razellia to find anyone matching her divinity at a high level.
Hence from then on, even though Astrid had to give up some things in return, she gained several other things too. And from then on, her life went in a very happy manner, gaining power and prestige until she started to understand that there exist a hole within the church of Razellia. She saw several people forming families, and she found an odd desire in all the witches.
They couldn't fall in love, and all those who took the path of being a witch are crazy for their experiment. Hence making their life only fully based on experiments and research, it ain't a problem in the beginning, but Astrid managed to capture some problems later on with the older witches. They showed a certain level of boredom with living.
Sadly Astrid could do nothing about it, with their destructive aura floating through them, trying to have any happiness in a relationship would never work for them. This plagued Astrid until the Holy Son was chosen, the man that came and toppled the entire church while making all their hearts his.
To Astrid, he is their light, the greatest thing to be ever born, and one that should never be trained at all. He is to be followed, taken care of, to be given absolute love and worship, by now Astrid and all the higher-ups of the church absolutely worshiped Austin and thought of him as another God in their hearts, a testament to Austin's control.
She is ashamed to agree that she holds an extreme level of lust and desire towards Austin, it appearing even when he was a child, but she held herself back, knowing that it's the greatest sin and that she was disgusting to think of it like that, hence she kept all her bottled feelings inside her, never trying to display all the greed in her heart.
But it got harder and harder to hold back as she watched the Holy Son grow into a dashing man that took the heart of every woman in the church. Astrid knew at heart that every higher up that met Austin has a collection of things about him that they use to douse the fire within them, Austin's presence now filling all their heart.
In Astrid's mind, the best thing that ever happened to her is Austin entering her life, the life into the church, him being the enigma that was needed within the Church to grant a new life.
'Um!~ want him'
Astrid thought as her mind started to be clouded over with Austin, her mind replaying in a loop, her dream of being completely dominated by Austin. She didn't care how he did; all that mattered to her is for him to use her body as he deems fit.
She herself being a woman that isn't worth his glance should be used by him as he wishes. Just the kiss he gave her then brought her whole world to another level. She never knew feelings like this existed, and she gained the divine right of tasting those lips that are the most sacred in the world.
She had always wondered how she would douse her body, and Austin came up to her, willing to take her, willing to take the body of this lowly woman. In her mind, no woman could ever come to match the grace of Austin, his kindness, or his powers.
'Gulp, I will definitely get that feeling again.'
Astrid promised herself; she knew that all the higher-ups wanted Austin to take them, but none of them made any move because Austin never made any move. If the thought of Astrid, the highest among all of the witches, was like this, one can only imagine the thought process of the rest of the women in the church that are under his clutches.
Astrid felt deep within her heart that she wanted to share this feeling with her family, and she knew if Austin gave the green signal, the rest of the women could jump like a rabbit in mating season to get him to just touch them. That's how much Austin is controlling their mind and body.
Astrid could still remember the first time he came to the church, the first time she was able to hold someone without the fear of demise. It went for the rest of the women too; he became their path and salvation in this lonely world of theirs, and his just touching them became their eternal desire, much more than any other objective.
Astrid's eyes became serious as she focused on the task. She knew the first one to finish would receive Austin's special grace, and she would do all within her power to be first because just the thought of him kissing her again is filling her mind with mad desire.
'I will finally achieve my dream....'
Astrid thought to herself as just thinking about Austin brought her 100% power. She resembled a drug addict that needs her drug urgently.

Hera's POV:
'This will be bad.....'
Hera thought as she imagined Austin, him being the Holy Son of two different churches of power would completely change the dynamic of power within both the realms. Austin himself would hold power to dictate several things, and no one would be able to contend against him in power or authority.
Hera can already imagine the problems that would crop up when the news hits the world. The position of Holy Son or Daughter isn't a small position at all, be it to any church. Unlike a saint or a saintess, this position pushes towards the individual itself being taken in as the child of the said Goddess, marking the Holy child as a divine being itself.
The Holy Child would have complete control over the church, from its lowest member to its highest point. The child itself would command absolute power over the church; the child being more of an inheritor of the church, his power would be unending and unstoppable, with control over all members of the church.
Both in mind and body, even a Saint or a saintess isn't capable of commanding the absolute golden army of their church, but the Holy Child could. Ever since the existence of the church, there have been some saintesses, but there never appeared a Holy Child. Things would drastically change when a single person would be able to command the oldest battle power in the world single-handedly.
In retrospect, the prospect of a Holy Child itself is dangerous. All that power in a single hand shouldn't take place, and no one ever thought it would, but under the hand of the divine, there is nothing to be done.
'Sigh, that little guy, is not even here, and is still causing me a headache.'
Hera thought with an indulging smile, her heartwarming up in ways she never thought she could ever feel again. Ever since losing her family, her mother, and her little brother along with her sight, she never thought she would ever feel the true warmth of life within her.
Even her position of saintess just gave her a new lease on life, one that she tried to thrive on. Unlike other people, her view on life itself is different due to the things she experienced in her past. It's her perspective that even made her the Saintess of life.
She is warm to all, but that also means she keeps a known distance from all, until the Holy Child Of Life, Austin, entered into her life. Her unique eyes that gave her, her unique perspective showing her a life she never thought she could ever encounter.
Along with it, just within days, he became a true family to her, filling her lost heart with such intense feelings that all she wishes is to pamper him like the perfect older sister she is. She couldn't do it in the past, and now she wishes to pamper and be with Austin to her heart's content.
Now when she is away from him, a hollowness fills her heart. All she wishes to do now is to see him smile, to see his little antics, his playful banter at her. It all brought back 'life' to her life. Right now, she just wants to chain him down to the church and provide him with the best life beside her, but she couldn't do that, no matter how much she wishes for it.
'Um....this is good, rejected.....good.....good...rejected.....'
Hera kept marking out the list in her hand, the list counting the best and most beautiful women of the church of Life, ones in the higher up and with perfect techniques that would become the attendants and followers of Austin in the church. Hera understood the quirks and desires that would fill the women's of the church once Austin is revealed.
Only he will be able to handle the life of all the women of the church, and only he will be able to sire a child to all women of the church. In fact, it would be their greatest honor to even be given a chance to hold any life from Austin, and in that regard, Hera has to be very careful. As his big sister, she would only pick the best of the best for Austin.
In retrospect, Austin is now the ruler of the Church Of Life, and all the members are 100% loyal and fully committed to him, the mind of worship holding a great desire to have Austin's children who would all grow up to be his descendants and ones with future control of Austin, with his arrival any sort of shared power his gone, he has control of the church and his descendants would also rule over all.
And as his big sister, she would give him the best woman he need, in fact, he just has to point towards any woman kf the church and they would be awaiting him already in heat to take his seeds of life.
'And I wouldn't mind if he chose me.....'
Just as these thoughts came by, Hera shook it off, chastising herself. Hera got back to her job, not knowing that the prospect of being the first one to hold Austin's life and starting a family with Austin in the church has already taken deep root in her mind.
