The sun cast long shadows across Anchordeep’s temple courtyard. Kallamar, the cyan-skinned Bishop with his distinctive scarred eye, paused at the corner. His disciples murmured in awe as they spotted a fellow Bishop relaxing in the central pool. Kallamar hissed a sharp command for silence, his black-sclera eyes fixing on the visitor. He approached swiftly, the water rippling around the guest’s feet. With a sudden drop to one knee, the cowardly ruler lowered himself to eye level, his clawed hand gently enveloping the visitor’s fingers in a gesture of submissive welcome.
