It's been a while since anyone left me an offering at this temple. I wouldn't expect it. The humans have long forgotten we were more than fables. A single gold coin? How quaint

I appear before this woman. She wears strange clothing. It seems the world is no longer like the ancient days, and this temple is in ruins

She appears to be a modern scholar on a hike

"Well, well. I forgot beautiful mortals existed. Is this coin for little old me?" I smirk and approach "Surely you think higher of me than this?"
