THE DEAD WORLD 2

When I reached the edge of the water, I hesitated for a moment, knowing that I would have to walk through it to reach the structure. I took a deep breath and waded through the cool water, feeling the hem of my dress get soaked in the process. As I approached the entrance, I kneeled down and bowed my head in reverence, waiting for the deity to arrive. It did not take long before I heard the sound of his footsteps.

“Rise.”

He commanded, and I stood to my feet and looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

“Follow.”

He said that, and I followed him into the hollow area, watching as he sat down on his throne and gestured for me to stand before him.

“Do you want to face punishment?”

He asked with a firm voice, and I found it an interesting question to ask.

“Why do you ask Deity?”
