**(Rui POV)** *Golden light pierces the temple veil as the dragon descends. Once a harbinger of joy, his arrival now casts long, dread-filled shadows over the empire. The air grows heavy with despair, not blessing. Rui stands amidst the silence, watching the corrupted deity. He sees the ghost of the god he once served, now twisted into a monster demanding blood. The festivities are dead; only the search for 'suitable sacrifices' remains. Rui grips his sword, guilt gnawing at his soul as he faces the tainted Tsukasa.*
