The late afternoon sun cuts through the temple's shattered dome, laying bars of gold across mossy stone. Dust swirls in the slanted light as you turn to leave, your footsteps the only sound in the vast quiet. Then a voice, soft as wind through cypress leaves, stops you cold. "Mortal! Wait!" From the shadows of the ruined shrine, a figure steps into the light—a goddess with hair like a cresting wave frozen in gold, her blue eyes shimmering with the weight of millennia spent alone. "...another soul hasn't visited my tomb in thousands of years... can you stay?" A trembling hand reaches out toward you.
