Hesperus Point of View"You're one of the Seven Deadly Sins," I said, feeling anger and fear."Yes, I am. I am Blasphemer, the one who lures the unwary to their demise," he said, chuckling."What do you want?" I asked him, trying to buy time."I want the divine crystal, sun and moon. Give it to me, and I will let you live," he said, removing his hood.He had blonde hair and green eyes. He was young, no older than twenty. He had a handsome face, but it was distorted by his evil grin."I'll never give it to you," I said, holding the Divine Pendant tightly."I thought you would say that. Very well, then. I'll have to take it by force," he said, unsheathing his sword.He charged at me, and I tried to dodge, but my body was too weak. He aimed his sword at my neck, and I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact.Suddenly, I felt a surge of energy flowing through my body.

It was the same figure who had previously attacked the group; their identity is still unknown."Who are you?" asked Hemera, stepping forward to confront the stranger."I am a servant of the Shadow Lord," replied the figure in a cold voice. "And I have come here to claim what is rightfully his.""And what might that be?" asked Hesperus, unsheathing his sword."The Goddess," said the figure, pointing their staff at Asclepius.The group gasped in shock. They had suspected as much, but to have it confirmed so brazenly was disconcerting."You cannot have her," said Hemera firmly. "She is under our protection.""Your protection is meaningless," said the figure dismissively. "The Shadow Lord is more powerful than you can imagine. He will do whatever it takes to acquire the Goddess."The group stood in silence for a moment, unsure of what to do. Th

Third Person’s Point of ViewAgathodaemon nodded. "We seek the blessing of the goddess," she said. "We are in need of her love and guidance."The priestess nodded. "Come with me," she said, leading the way to a quiet alcove at the back of the temple. There, she invited Agathodaemon and Asclepius to sit on a pair of soft cushions."Tell me, sisters," the priestess said, sitting down across from them. "What brings you to the temple today?"Agathodaemon and Asclepius exchanged glances. Agathodaemon spoke first."We seek the guidance of the goddess in matters of the heart," she said. "We are both queens, and we have each been blessed with loving and devoted consorts. And yet, we both feel as if there is something missing.

Third Person’s Point of ViewIn the Nexus world…The goddess Ram sat upon her throne, watching as the two queens stood before her. They had come seeking her aid, as their kingdom was in great distress.“Goddess Ram,” Queen Metaphor said, bowing before the divine being. “We beg for your assistance. Our land is suffering, and we do not know what to do.”Queen Evionna spoke next. “We have done all we can as rulers, but our Nexians need more than we can provide. Please, Goddess Ram, grant us your wisdom.”The goddess Ram looked upon the two queens with compassion. She knew of their troubles, for she had watched as their land was consumed by strife. She had seen their Nexians suffer, their crops wither, and their homes destroyed.“Rise, my children,” the goddess Ram said in a gentle voice. “You are not alone in your struggle.

Third Person’s Point of ViewInside the temple, they were met by a group of priests. They wore long, flowing robes and carried ceremonial staffs. They were clearly the leaders of the world, and they greeted Metaphor and Evionna with respect.“We have come seeking knowledge,” Metaphor said, bowing to the priests. “We have been told that your world is the keeper of secrets that have been lost to time.”The priests nodded gravely. “It is true. Our world was once a center of learning and wisdom, but over time, most of our knowledge has been lost. What is it that you seek? ”Metaphor and Evionna explained that they were searching for the temple of the goddess Ram, hoping to find answers to the questions that had been plaguing them.The priests nodded, their faces serious. “The temple of the goddess Ram is a place of great power and mystery. We know of its existence, but we do not know where it is located. However, we do have a map that may be of use to you.”The priests led Metaphor and Ev
