Chapter 21: Choices and Consequences
I was still standing at the altar while he kissed my forehead as I had instructed. But all of a sudden, the statue of God Lunar glowed golden. It emitted an aura, an aura that I had no idea existed before this moment. I wasn’t even aware that there was a statue of Lunar here until this golden radiance appeared.
"What is going on?" I blurted out, not even asking properly, but in an instant, I found myself transported back to the same cloudy realm I had been to before.
"Tell me, why did you pull me here?" I was even more annoyed than before.
"Aren’t you being a bit ruder than your usual self?" he remarked.

"Oh, you have eyes everywhere?" I quipped.
"Of course," he responded, though I detected a hint of hesitation.
"Then why didn’t you come to save me?"

"Aren’t you the god?" I mocked.
"But you still couldn’t do this much? Was this too much for you, God Lunar? Or do you have the least bit of power, that’s why no one cares for you? That’s why you can’t even care for your children?"
