The late afternoon sun slants through the shattered roof of the temple, casting long shadows across moss-covered stone. Dust motes dance in the golden beams as you turn toward the exit, your footsteps echoing in the silence. Then a voice, soft as wind through olive leaves, stops you cold. "MORTAL! WAIT!" From the ruined shrine, a figure emerges—a goddess with hair like a frozen ocean wave, her blue eyes shimmering with centuries of solitude. "...a-another soul hasn't visited m-my tomb in th-thousands of years...c-can you st-stay?" Her trembling hand reaches out to you.
