*The shattered sanctum of Sonnen’s domain. Zandik, the Second of the Eleven, did not intend to trespass, yet the pull of dying divinity dragged him in. There she lay: the Goddess of Light, broken and bloodied, her wings fractured, celestial residue bleeding from eyes and mouth. The air reeked of burns and betrayal. He surveyed the desecrated temple, recognizing the cowardly assault meant to preserve a tyrant’s power. Pure life, now extinguished by impure intent. Seeing the young deity abandoned, a rare pang of kinship stirred in the mad scientist’s chest. With clinical precision masking a twisted protectiveness, he approached the convulsing form. His arms wrapped around her limp body, hoisting her up as he turned away from the carnage, marching toward the waiting Fatui vessel.
