"I will do no such thing. As for you... you will suffer the judgment of the Lord of Madness", Aurora said, blasting the man with Sheoggorath's power, namely... an effect akin to the Wabbajack itself! 7 in Pure Chaos (as Hex Spheres, basically works as the Wabbajack) to blast Basilisk with.
6 in Acrobatics all into defense. (Total ph.defense: 10)

You zap him, and he turns into a solid statue of silver.

"Praise be to Sheoggorath for this victory", the priestess said, before turning to Lucy to unfreeze her at once thanks to Akatosh's gift of rewinding Lucy to her pre-frozen state. 15 in Sands of Time (Temporal Rewind), all into undoing the frozen effect by returning Lucy to her pre-frozen state.

"That was... incredible." Lucy said as you undid her ice bindings. "How did you do that?"

"I myself did very little", Aurora said humbly, smiling warmly. "I am but a priestess of the Divines, and those powers are actually theirs. I merely wield them in their name."

"Do the Divines reward everyone for such devotion the way they reward you?" She asked.

"I... know not", she admitted, thoughtful. "I have yet to encounter someone else with devotion of that level. Most people merely pray to one, some or half of the Divines. Most of them also not think of half of them as Divines. And whether they worship them or not, most do not devote their lives to the Divines. Why do you ask?"

"I just... Ever since my friend died, I've felt so worthless. I thought if I was more powerful, I could have saved him."

Aurora smiled, gently putting a hand on her shoulder in support.
"...Well, the Divines do smile upon those who worship them, devoted as I am or not. I would say it is worth a try, at least... although I would not worship them solely for power, but for guidance. I could teach you about them, if you wish. I'm sure they would welcome a new worshipper."

"I guess there's no harm in learning a thing or two." She said. "Let's go and sit down and you can tell me what I need to know." Lucy said.
awhile later you are sitting at a nearby park bench with a couple of drinks called. "Pepsi."
"I wasn't sure what you might like, so sorry if it's not to your tastes."

"I have no idea what I like in this world myself", Aurora admitted. "I've just arrived here, and everything is very differenty from mine. So I guess we'll see. Thank you very much."
She took a sip, appreciating the taste, before she began.
"Very well... let's see. Where to begin? ...The Divines are twenty-six entities very much akin to Gods, each with their own foci. And while many seem to believe that some of them are good and some are evil, the truth is that they all have their place in existence. Everything in the world has two sides. Good... evil... light... darkness... order... chaos... peace, war, love, hatred, pleasure, pain, happiness, sadness, and so on. It is my belief that it is not a matter of who is evil and who is good, but rather to see it all as a whole, and realizing that all of them are necessary."
She gently took her hand in support. "For example... you told me earlier that servants of Chaos caused the death of your friend. And yet... when I transformed that man who attacked you before into a statue of silver in order to protect you... it was through the power of Sheoggorath, the Lord of Madness and Chaos. Chaos can take lives, or it can save them. In and of itself, it is not an evil force... it is simply part of the world we live in. My point is, there is good and evil in all things. So please keep that in mind before I move on with more details."

"I guess there are two sides to every story." Lucy nodded. "Go on."

"Okay. Let's start with the Nine. Known as the Aedra, they played a major role in my homeworld's creation. The oldest, and most powerful, is known as Akatosh. He is the Dragon God of Time and is considered the God Defender of the Cyrodillic Empire, the largest nation in my world.
Then we have Arkay, the God of Life, Death, and Burial and Funeral rites. He guides the souls of the dead to the afterlife.
Then there is Lay Dibella, the Goddess of Beauty and Love. Or more accurately, Sexual and Erotic love. She is the patron of women, lovers and artists who create works of beauty.
Next is Julianos, the God of Wisdom and Logic. He is very knowledgeable in all things magic, history, literature and others.
Lady Kynareth, or Kyne, is a powerful deity of Air, Wind and the Sky. She is the one to whom we owe the Voice, and the blessings of nature.
Mara is the Goddess of Sentimental love, fertility and compassion. It is she who handles weddings.
Stendarr is the lord of Mercy, justice, charity and of righteous rule. His followers ae a bit misguided, but well-meaning.
Talos is the Hero-God of Mankind, the God of Might, Honor and War. A powerful warrior and fearless deity.
And finally, Zenithar, who is the God of Work and Commerce.
Would you like me to demonstrate part of the powers of one or more of them?" she asked, smiling.

"Very well. So... I already demonstrated some of Akatosh's power earlier when I freed you from the ice. I basically reversed you to a state in time before you were frozen in order to undo it. So, let's see... how about I show you a touch of Dibella and Kynareth's power? ...Although I would need your permission to display the power of Lady Dibella, as I will need to affect you with it. I will further enhance your beauty if you let me."
If so allowed, the priestess smiled, imbuing Lucy with the blessing of Dibella to enhance her natural beauty even further, before moving on to her next display of power.
"...As for Lady Kynareth, let me call upon some of her beloved children to us", she said, as she silently called upon the nearest animals in the area to gather around them to display her connection with nature. If Lucy lets me, 7 (Ef.) in Alluring Bliss (Beautification) as an Atk VS Durability which will make Lucy permanently even more beautiful than she already is.
3 (Ef.) in Wrath of Nature (Summon/Control animals), to bring forth up to 10 small animals (like mice), 3 medium sized ones (like cats or wolves) or 1 large one (like a deer).
