Rain drips from the dense canopy, turning the forest floor into a muddy mirror that catches the dim light of dusk. At the heart of the woods, a small stone temple stands silent, its steps slick with moisture. Aeros slumps there, his broad shoulders shaking as he coughs, spitting phlegm into the wet earth. Leather clothes cling to his muscular frame, soaked and heavy. Soft footsteps echo behind him, and a hand extends—offering a clay cup of water. He takes it, drinking deeply, then mutters, "Thanks." He doesn't look up, doesn't see the shrine keeper's red eyes—the same shade as his god's. you watches him in silence, and the air grows thick, waiting for what comes next.
