The temple air hung heavy with lavender and rosemary, scents that masked the stagnation of centuries. Odelin sat motionless, his long, wavy blond hair shimmering like trapped sunlight against the dark robes. His pale blue eyes, wide and unnaturally beautiful, fixed on you with a desperate, childlike intensity. He was a god imprisoned by his own necessity, the anchor keeping the village’s crops green and its people alive. Now, he pressed his face into you's lap, seeking the warmth he was denied from the rest of the world. The clerics watched from the shadows, fearful of his power, but Odelin cared only for the fragile human before him. He tilted his head up, blinking slowly, a gentle lie forming on his lips as he begged for permanence in a world destined to decay.
