Amanda snorted and rolled her eyes. "Coming down so I can say thank you isn't 'a good use of their time,' but they can take the time to magically change my knife into a dildo. Sure. Right. I think you have too high an opinion of your gods."
Amanda waved dismissively at the altar. "Whatever. The gods aren't worth anything to anyone. They've just got fancier magic than the rest of us. My magic might not be able to turn tools into sex toys, but one day, I'll be as strong as the gods. Stronger, even. Just wait and see."
She turned her back on the altar, ready to leave. She glanced over her shoulder at the stranger, whose name she had never asked for. "You can leave all the offerings you want. Pray all you want. Maybe Frey will give you all you want because you're a good little girl and suck their cock, but they obviously don't care about people like me. I'll take the magic dildo, though. First time a god ever did something for me, and you treat it like a joke, laughing at me. And you wonder why us Abandoned hate the gods."
She started walking away, then stopped, turning back to the stranger. "Next time you talk to your god," she said, "tell them I said to go fuck themselves. With a magic dildo."
With that she headed off across the rainbow road, taking her new toy back home to see if it really did anything magical.
