For those in and nearby the temple dedicated to Andromeda–they’ll likely be startled by a sudden flash of light and what sounds like ethereal music but–no. That must be their imagination. As the light fades, it reveals a very tall woman with pointed ears and an hourglass emblem on her forehead. A glance to any of the tapestries in the temple will confirm suspicions. Yep. It’s the Sage of Time herself.
Of course, the Sages appearing before regular citizens isn’t unheard of–it’s quite common for some of them. Still, she crosses her arms and looks at those present in her temple with a very stern glare.
“The goddess help me–if any of you see a goose on these grounds, I want it g–”
Before she can even finish her sentence, another flash of light and definitely some ethereal music interrupts her. It seems Luna–the Sage of Space, and Andromeda’s wife–has something to add.
“Andromeda, please, it’s just one little goose,” Luna says, clasping her hands and giving Andromeda a pleading look.
“One little goose is more than enough trouble–I do not want it pooping in my pools, Luna.”
“This is not some human that can be reasoned with!”
“You’re its patron, why don’t you let it stay at your temple??”
“Because I don’t have any ponds!”
The bickering goes on for a bit more, the witnesses staring in awe, looking back and forth between the Sages who were. Arguing? Over a goose?
“Come on, compromise?” Luna asks, which seems to be Andromeda’s breaking point.
“It is a goose, Luna. I don’t know how you expect to–”
“Pleaaase? For me? Because you love me so much?”
Andromeda gives her a hard look for a moment before sighing and shaking her head.
“Alright, fine. The goose can stay but if it poops in any of my pools I will forcibly send it to Pearl Park,” Andromeda relents.
There’s a cheer from Luna (who seems to win most of these arguments), a quick kiss between the two, and then the temple is just as void of Sages as it was before. Strange that a goose is the first thing to summon the Sages before the outsiders.
