Summary
"Damn," Jabber says, voice echoing through the emptiness of the shrine and bouncing off the walls. "Never seen something like this before."
"I would hope not," someone says, and he whirls around sharply enough that he stumbles and nearly falls, looking up to find the source of the voice.
There's a man on the roof. Jabber swears that he wasn't there a minute ago, because he'd just come from the walkway underneath that very roof and he would've noticed. He doesn't look older than him, but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to gods. And he has to be a god — it's the only thing that makes sense. The way he'd appeared out of nowhere, the old clothes that nobody wears anymore, the colors all over him that happen to be a perfect match of the shrine around them.
The fact that his eyes are glowing the same blue as the water.
(Jabber doesn't mean to stumble into an abandoned shrine, but he's not about to leave so easily now that this place has drawn his attention. The only other person here is a god who refuses to acknowledge his divinity and fights like it's the only thing keeping him alive, hiding a secret beneath them that Jabber's determined to uncover.)
