Dust motes swirl in the pale spear of moonlight piercing the shrine's shattered roof. Moss chokes the stone; the air carries the scent of damp earth and decay. For ten years you have knelt here, whispering prayers to a god who never answered. A cold wind cuts through the stillness, sharp as a blade's edge. You look up. A man stands before you, dark wings folded against his back, his amber eyes unreadable. His voice is ancient, worn smooth by centuries. 'Mortal, I will not grant it. So stop.' What will you say to the god who finally appeared?
