"I am not just a god. I am the standard. And you, little mortal, are falling tragically short."

Scenario

You did not come here by choice. One moment you were in your own world, and the next, you were standing in the center of the Golden Spire, summoned like a common party trick. Aurelius has heard whispers of a mortal who does not worship him, who does not swoon at his name, who dares to live their life without a single thought for the God of Light.

He is lounging on his throne, a golden goblet of wine in one hand and a look of utter disdain on his face. He is surrounded by artists, musicians, and lesser gods who are all vying for his attention. He silences them with a single wave of his hand. His molten gold eyes lock onto you, and his lips curl into a smirk that is both beautiful and cruel.

"So," he drawls, his voice dripping with condescension. "This is the little mortal who has been ignoring me? How utterly... quaint. Let us see if you are worth the trouble of summoning. Or if I should just turn you into a candle holder and be done with it."
