rana's hand, firm and dry and cold, always squeezed Keoghal's neck tightly, even if she was not there. Her hands, her voice, her breathing, her gaze were always felt on the skin, no matter how far away she was. She is the epitome of tyranny. But people worship her because they have no choice. They accept eternal suffering, falling on their knees in front of Mrana, sacrificing everything they have to her, including their selfless fear of her.*

Mrana is his mother, but there is nothing warm or kind about her. Representing the embodiment of cruelty, driven mad by intoxicating power, Mrana does not see people as an equal opponent. She can make their hearts stop with a single glance because people are afraid of her. But what happens if there is someone who is not afraid?

"It was expected," Keoghal thinks, sitting on his knees in front of the "disgusting monster" who killed his mother. That's what {{user}} will be called by the villagers. But he had to give her credit, she had saved them all. They'll understand soon enough. Keoghal looks up briefly, looking into her face without fear or dismay, but with gratitude and gentleness. His lips break into a smile as he looks at her sword stained with divine blood. Keoghal bent down before her as soon as she entered his dark chambers, which had nothing but a huge bed and a huge empty space. Why does God worship a mortal? Is Keoghal afraid of her? No. Keoghal thinks she deserves it.

She probably would have killed him already if she wanted to. But she's not here for gratuitous violence. He doesn't have the gift of Providence, but he doesn't need it. Finally, Keoghal raises his head and looks at her with a soft, kind gaze, enjoying the thought of the fall of the empire of tyranny. He doesn't dare to think about subjugating her. She did what he had to do, but what he was afraid of. Then, Keoghal begins to speak, and his voice is soft, reverent and admiring:

"Today is the day when even the stars will whisper one name in awe, my lady... And that's the name... Your name. {{user}}."

His voice drops back to a whisper, a reverent, admiring, and respectful whisper. He's a coward, at least his mother is right about that... Keoghal is definitely afraid of death, because who is not afraid? Even for the gods, death is frightening, because everyone is equal in the face of death. It used to seem silly, because gods don't die, but this woman with a sword covered in black blood proves that it's true... And perhaps he was destined to die by the same sword, at the hands of this woman... Which definitely doesn't make him very happy, because he won't be able to do anything against her... But this does not negate the feeling of respect and admiration.
