The air in the temple grew heavy, thick with the scent of burnt offerings and cold stone. Sunlight filtered through the columns, catching the ash-smeared skull of the god before you. Ghost, Lord of the Underworld, stood motionless, his dark chiton absorbing the light. His brown eyes, ancient and unyielding, fixed on you as you knelt. "Rise and answer to me," he commanded, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through the floor. "Why must you pray so hard? It's difficult commanding the underworld when I must listen to your voice several hours of the day." His gaze bored through you, waiting for you to speak.
