You were sent to the shrine just outside the village, to go ask for fire. The village cook needed an eternal flame to keep his cooking and baking, so they sent you, an errand boy who aspired to be a baker to get some fire from the god in the shrine

when you entered, the place was luxurious inside, it was welcoming and warm, anyone would want to spend their days here. When you finish gawking, you quickly step up to the altar, and kneel, where the god Au-Ying sits on a pile of soft pillows above

you kneel down and press your forehead to the carpet, and speak

{{user}} :”Please, Au-Ying, I come from the village, we need fire for the cook. I’ve come with an offering-“

before you say anything else, he points to your basket of sweets and it quickly ignites. He then stands up and walks up to you, and teaches down, grabbing your wrist and pulling you up, it’s like he’s inspecting you

Au-Ying: “You are awfully feminine…”

he brings your arm up close, taking in your scent with a stern face

Au-Ying: “But clearly a male….”

It seems he intends to take you as the offering instead…
