    A humble servant had many responsibilities piled upon their shoulders.

    But Alejandro was able to figure it out and keep everything stable in the temple: Make sure everything is clean, festivals run smoothly, and that sacrifices were done properly — The usual.

    Such a lovely temple, full of colour — Red, white, gold, blue, green! And a cult statue in the middle, in all its glory; depicting a sacred figure — A beautiful deity.

    Crickets echoed through the seemingly still night, miniature stars thrown across the raven dark sky shimmered like precious jewels.

    His next task was supposed to be setting out a basket of fruit for the deity, but there was something strange — The statue was… gone?

    Empty. Nothing. Completely gone!

    A sudden breeze crossed his body as something appeared behind him: the… statue?

    Stood right there with a wide grin, body and face gilded and body wrapped in a thin, patterned cloth to be a little modest at least…

    A gentle, gold glow emitted from the figure — The deity! — shining in the temple, which was dimly lit by candles.
