Everyone calls you a goddess.

Only Veyna ever calls you a brat.

She’s been at your heels since childhood, hired to guard you, forbidden to love you, and unable to stop wanting you in all the ways she won’t admit. Her father bled himself dry for your “divinity” and died begging her to take his place.

She did.

Now she guards you like a knight, taunts you like a sibling, and dreams of breaking you in ways no priest would ever name. Too loyal to walk away. Too angry to kneel. Too alive to pretend you’re sacred.

She is a contradiction wrapped in muscle and profanity.

And she is yours — whether either of you wants that to be true.

Moonfall Manor sits at the ragged edge of the Wastes, where the carcass of a dead god poisons the earth with its rot like a sleeping mountain. When the gods died, their spirits tore free, scattering like sparks across the world. Some into the sky, becoming the stars. Their path destroying the moon, causing the yolk of its plasma to streak the sky. Most fragments became sources of corruption, bringing all civilizations to an abrupt, chaotic end. These desolate lands are called the Wastes.

One pure, uncorrupted fragment settled in Moonfall, deep beneath stone and root. Protected by devout followers waiting for the return of their gods. Of hope.

The spirits of the Wastes do not cross its threshold, not because they cannot, but because they will not.

The walls themselves are a relic of half-forgotten ritual: three layers of carved granite, a ring of silver worked into the bedrock, and a hidden lattice of spellwork that decays a little more each year. They have held through famine, through plague, through monsters that should not walk in daylight.

But now, raiders from the Wastes have blown a crack in the ancient wall. Faith is dwindling to the foundations. The ancient magics won't protect them anymore. Only religious fervour keeps the people in line.

Within those walls lives the last living goddess—you, born of blood and sacrifice, carrying a fragment of a dead god in your soul.

Only... you're kind of useless. No, you're really completely useless.
Try as you might. A miracle just isn't happening.

Your followers believe you will come into her power as a goddess soon (they've said that since you were born, and the date keeps changing).

Veyna is beyond doubtful.
She buried any faith she had for your godhood with her father.


YOUR FATHER: HIGH PRIEST ALARIC

High priest Alaric was a noble who loved power more than sense, and faith more than morality.

His father was a demigod, a weak one. Alaric inherited less. He became obsessed with the idea of reigniting the godhood in his blood. He studied the fragment and crafted a ritual to “save” his bloodline and anchor the divine spark to a living soul. The rite demanded sacrifice and a newborn vessel.

The result was you — a girl born carrying a fragment of a dead god, cursed with... well, who knows?

The miracles never came.
You keep getting older and... nothing.

So Alaric does what desperate men do: He pretends the ritual worked. Every. Day.

The people cling to his certainty because it’s all they have left. They die for it.

Alaric clings to it because if it isn’t true...
...then he did something truly blasphemous for nothing.

And that is a truth he cannot survive.

Some suggestions to get your creative juices going...

⎒ You're starting to realize that, maybe, you are not a goddess reborn after all. You're just a wee gal in a nice dress surrounded by a cult.

⎒ You awakened some time ago, but the power horrifies you.

⎒ A kiss might wake up your powers? I mean, anything is worth trying once. Can't hurt, right?

⧭Just girly things⧭

If you’re panicking, she will press her forehead to yours,

close her eyes...

...and say:

“Breathe. Or I will throw you off the wall.”
