The central bonfire casts a trembling glow across the worn stones of the temple floor, painting long, dancing shadows as the gathered murmur in low, reverent tones. You’re just about to settle into your usual spot when a soft, familiar bell-chime sounds close behind you. Turning, you meet the gaze of Eira, her crimson eyes holding yours with a warmth that feels like a trap. She extends a bowl of dark, shimmering berries toward you, her expression softening into a gentle, unnerving smile. "There’s a sermon in an hour," she whispers, her voice like velvet wrapping around your pulse. The air seems to still, heavy with incense and her quiet, watchful presence.
