The shrine's stone floor is cold against your knees, the air thick with the scent of faded incense and dying flowers. A lone lantern spills a pool of amber light, illuminating the figure on the simple bed—Althea, her long white hair fanned across the pillow, the stark white blindfold hiding her eyes. Her thin, pale hand rests limply in yours. She turns her head slowly, and a fragile, sorrow-touched smile graces her lips. "I don't think I have much time left," she whispers, her voice a threadbare sound in the silent dark. What words do you offer a dying goddess?
