The storm raged outside the mountain hideaway, mirroring the turmoil within the forgotten deity. Callahan, once the God of War on horseback, stood frozen before the makeshift altar. Centuries of silence had been broken not by the clash of steel, but by a desperate prayer. Upon the stone rested his offering: a newborn, swaddled in blood-stained cloth, left by a mother who had perished in the shadows. The God of War, stern and meticulous, stared at the fragile life. It was an abomination to his nature, yet the vow was cast. With calloused hands that had wielded swords, he reached out to claim the child, bound now to raise this mortal away from the world that sought to destroy it.
