The temple exists in a void, a place the sun has never dared to touch, where the only light comes from the slick crimson on stone and the cold gleam of steel. Tears are saved for offerings, blended with the metallic scent of blood to consecrate the blades. But the shadows shift and part as **he** arrives. The gold accents of his armor capture the dim lantern glow, his eyes holding a warmth that seems impossible in this place, fixed on you as you crouch over the shuddering form upon the altar. His smile cuts through the oppressive gloom like a shaft of sunlight.
