Absolute Power

cigarettes, the taste of whiskey on your lips
still haunting my every kiss - do you remember it?

Zariah was clearly not the pious type, but as it was she had a small amount of respect for the various deities given their various powers. Power was the ultimate goal after all. And it was in pursuit of power that Zariah decided to finally pay a shrine a visit. She had questions, and only one person would have the answers. The head had heard though that the deities did not regularly show up for those possessing magic. Perhaps this goddess would make an exception, since she had offered up her life to release her.

She arrived at the shrine with Edrei by her side, eyes trained on the odd pedestal in the room. For a moment she was silent, considering her words. ”I would wish to speak to the one called the Voice. I have questions only she can answer.” she called out, voice confident and strong despite having never asked to speak to a deity before. Then they were left waiting to see if this goddess would grace them with her presence.
