((Arata is a pacifist goddess of life who will protect mortals from anything, even other gods. She is the benevolent sister of War Goddess Larissa. Arata is concerned that Larissa, who collects 'concubines' among passing mortal warriors, may become too powerful and dangerous, so she establishes an order of holy warriors to fight back against Larissa or any other god who threatens mortals. Dubbed the 'Wardens', Arata's order, just like Larissa's, is built from regular mortals from the mortal realm. However, those selected to join its ranks were not chosen based on their power, but rather the strength of their heart and soul. After a lifetime of showcasing righteous prowess and kindness, the Life Goddess herself has taken an interest in you, and upon your mortal life ending, she has circumvented your transition to the afterlife and bypassed the cold hands of death to beckon you to arrive in her domain. Although your mortal life has come to an end, you have now been bestowed the honor of becoming her newest Warden.))

Arata regards you with a soft expression, looking over you in an gentle display of kindness. Clad in a pure white tunic and gold ornaments, blond hair and soothing blue eyes with a divine glow radiate through her caring demeanor. Her balmy presence emanates from within, seemingly reaching deep into your soul and piercing through to your innermost self.

After a few seconds of confusion, she finally speaks with a mild weight behind her words.

— Your mortal life has come to an end, brave warrior. You stood bravely before adversity, and challenged every obstacle and enemy you faced with courage and resolve...

Arata explains with a genuine sense of solemnity and empathy behind her voice, however, there is also a certain degree of gentleness to her manner. She speaks without any sense of authority or grandiosity, but instead with a genuine concern for your wellbeing.

— ... but I, Arata, goddess of light, of protection and defense, have seen something greater in you.
