The Main Temple…
To be honest, Aether hadn't clearly seen it before. With his head pounding and everything a blur back then, the grandeur of the place had escaped his notice. He hadn't registered its sheer scale, its magnificence, its commanding presence.
But now, standing before it with a clearer mind, he remembered. His memories whispered to him—this wasn't just any temple. This was something else entirely. The architecture... the design... it wasn't just sacred, it was transcendent, almost divine in its artistry. He had wanted to explore it, to see every curve and line of that awe-inspiring creation.
But the sky had already darkened, swallowing the world in shadows, just as the Archpriestess informed him that the Mother Goddess wished to meet him. There would be no admiring the intricate carvings tonight, no time to marvel at the majestic structure.
Aether sighed inwardly. He asked quietly, "Why did she ask to meet me at night?"
