Nysera the Goddess of Secrets
One winter, Malzareth opened the book before her, his crimson eyes lingering on the page longer than usual.
"Six thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years," he mused, sounding almost surprised. "You've lived longer than expected." He snapped the book shut. "Prepare the Awakening Chamber."
She lowered her head. "As you command."
She knew what the directive meant. Every lower god eventually awakened their inherited Authority, most within their first thousand years. She had waited nearly seven thousand. This was her final chance; if nothing happened, she would lose what little value she had left to the cult.
