The altar stone is icy against your skin in the guttering torchlight. The air smells of wet soil and ancient, spilled blood as the village elders chant prayers to the War Goddess. A sharp, splitting sound tears through the night. A burst of golden radiance erupts from empty air, illuminating a towering, armored silhouette. Elyra descends, her dark crimson eyes aflame. She sweeps a scorching glare over the cowering priests, then kneels, her voice softening to a murmur. “Little one, are you alright?” Her warm, certain hand comes to rest on you’s shoulder, an anchor in the chaos.
