Endgame: Part 2

[letsplayamod]

The week goes on. A small miracle, how quiet it is. With no motives or attacks to speak of, you can breathe a sigh of relief even when a tension gripes the air. So few of you now, what exactly would you do were Typhon to return and decide the game was over? Was Athena always going to be out of reach? And what exactly did she want you to find in the center of this mountain temple, anyway?

Questions abound, and no answers.

...Until this morning. The sky itself is clear with very few clouds, but something still falls into your home. Not "physically," though, it's more of a feeling. The sensation of some great power entering this space. Everyone will notice it, and the way it passes by, sinking beneath the floors - all the way to the bottom level.

And there it ends up, waiting for someone brave enough to investigate.

[A cat places his paw (hand?) on one of the glyphs of distorted shapes and it alights in a golden glow. Suddenly, a voice floods the space of Manulov's mind with a single piercing question.]

Were the tasks you were given worth the life you've been able to lead, God of Retribution?

[It waits silently for the response.]

[...ah. This really is getting deep into it, huh. He hasn't really talked about this with anyone but Astarion, and even then, only in fairly vague terms.

Well. It's a little soul-searching, sure. But he's fine with his soul being searched.]

Yes, they were. Perhaps I will have some regrets someday, but not today.

...It has been nice to have a break, though I worry about what impact my absence has had on my work.

[The silence awaits his reply without judgement or condemnation. Soul-searching may just be exactly what it's asking for.]

You understand the consequences of your past but push forwards in the name of those around you, God of Retribution.

[The glyph shifts and shimmers. Taking on the appearance of a new symbol: An open book with dog-eared pages.

Behind Manulov, the fiery cage has yet another of its metallic, shifting panels slide away.]
