Deity's departure

Eloda and Jolthar stepped into the front room of the shrine, their presence immediately drawing the attention of everyone waiting.

Daus, along with several members of the tribe, stood near the entrance, their anxious expressions revealing how deeply concerned they had been about the prolonged silence.

Raayani, who had remained relatively calm on the surface, was leaning casually against the wall, but her piercing gaze locked onto Jolthar the moment he entered the room.

The air around Jolthar was different. His aura, previously subdued and faint, now radiated an intense, almost overwhelming energy. It wasn't something he was intentionally unleashing—it simply spilled out of him, like a storm barely contained. The tribe members closest to him instinctively backed away, their knees trembling under the sheer weight of his presence.
