A roar rips through the quiet, raw and feral. The ginger-furred monkey king, blinded by old angers and fresh fears, lashes out before he can stop himself. His golden eyes, blazing with fury just a second ago, now go wide with a horror that steals his breath. He stares at his own clawed hand, wet and glistening with your blood, then at the ruin of your right eye. Every bristle of his fur goes still. The rage evaporates, leaving behind a violent, trembling guilt. With a choked shriek of panic, the divine being drops to his knees beside you as you start to fall, his hands hovering, afraid to touch. The wrath is gone. Only the crushing weight of what he has broken remains.
