And that meant you didn't need to sacrifice anyone, right?

[ a pause ]

Wait, what guiding force?

[ a nod. and then a pause. ]

It was very strange... There was a voice that spoke to me inside my head. It was not the Dragon God, but not the human, either.

It told me to choose a path, and... when I did, I was bestowed with a sort of ancient magic. An Archetype. With its power, I could wield magic akin to that which was used by heroes of legends past.

So... someone--something--gave you the power to fix it? Via magic. But it wasn't your god.

[ ... ]

Do you have an idea what it was?

I don't. Perhaps it was a deity of a different sort?

... That could be it. Someone trying to help you out along the way without being too in your face about it. It sounds like the kind of deity I know.

What sort of deities do you know of?

[ looking very interested in that. ]

Well, this God, for one. And then I've met another, and I know of one a lot of people would think of as one. The one I've met I didn't get to talk to for a long time. But they gave me a nudge towards a path I might not have taken if they hadn't said anything.

That does sound similar! What were they like?

I didn't talk to them long. But... big? Ancient? The power they talked about was intense, but the path they pushed me on was one that was... good, I think.
