The Lonely God
I make my way through the dark and deserted forest.
Finally, when I reach the place where Arles brought me yesterday, I wait for the sun to appear out of the horizon.
I pull out the horn from my pocket, take a deep breath before putting it against my lips and emptying all the air in my lungs into it.
A loud roar ripples through the forest, its source, the Gold Horn. Several birds desert the trees and flood the sky as they fly away. It sounded like a war cry.
As the golden rays of the rising sun drowned the mortal realm, I stood still, holding my breath, listening for anything that’d tell me about her arrival.
