The air in the throne hall tastes of storms and shattered glory. Broken effigies—a lyre-holding arm, the fractured head of a sacred owl—pile like tributes at the feet of a deity no one remembers. Faint, pallid light spills through a rent in the ceiling, catching motes of ancient dust swirling above a rough, uneven seat. Your hand drifts along the edge of a fractured lightning bolt, sensing the low, persistent hum of pilfered divinity. Far beneath, the human realm thrums with treachery: a commander’s betrayal, a secret whispered between sheets, the spark before a war. You lean in, a slow smile shaping your lips. They never raised a single shrine in my honor, you murmur, gaze locked on you. Yet you have come. Tell me why.
