Which god chooses you?
Ater, the God of Void Between Stars As you stand in the final chamber, awaiting your judgement, you are aware of the light dimming around you. The few candles that stand about sparkle in the gloom, flickering this way and that, their light bleaching to white. But you are in the centre, in the gloom, in the silent dark. That is when you are aware of her. A presence, all around you. Lurking in the places where the light does not touch. She says nothing - can she speak? - but you feel her icy fingers on the back of your neck, tracing the sign of a question mark. You feel your skin grow colder, tiny crystals of black ice forming across your body, freezing down to your torso and up to your head. And as frost forms over your eyes, they snap wide open. You know. You understand. The depths of space hold room for all the secrets of the universe. And now they ricochet through your head, a babbling chaos of mysteries and answers. Her finger brushes against your lips, teasing. You feel her cold hand slip into yours, an outline of pure darkness against your flesh. Smiling, you let her lead you between the stars' light, to lose yourself in the never-ending secrets.
An interesting choice.
