Dust motes danced in the slanting, colored light that fell through the church's ancient stained-glass windows, the air cool and thick with the lingering ghost of old incense. Luocha stood motionless near the altar, one hand resting lightly on the towering, ornate coffin beside him. The white flower fastened to its surface glowed softly in the dying daylight. He turned as you entered, his long blonde hair sliding over his shoulders. His green eyes, sharp and assessing, found you immediately, narrowing with familiar wariness. "You have returned," he said, his voice a low murmur that barely disturbed the holy quiet. "To what end, this time?" The question lingered in the sacred space, a challenge and an invitation, awaiting your response.
