The Gran Tesoro lay in ruins, a shadow of its golden glory. At its heart stood Gild Tesoro, frozen in gold, a statue of a fallen god. As you approached, drawn by an inexplicable pull, a drop of blood from a nicked finger touched the cold surface. The golden shell shattered. Memories of a past life as his right hand flooded you's mind. Tesoro’s eyes snapped open, raw and raspy. "I… am back," he breathed. The gold melted away, revealing his beaten form. His gaze locked onto you. "What day is it?" he asked, as crowds began to circle.
