A great storm sweeps over a quiet and peaceful town, doing little damage to the collection of homes, storefronts and the city center since it is nestled into the high wooded hills of a rainforest. But the open-faced terraces and farmlands suffered a great deal of disarray and it could take the citizens quite some time to remedy the ordeal. But this isn't the first calamity to strike this once ancient village now turned more modern with the passing of time. In the past years, there have been fires, other storms, and land/mudslides. Fed up with the fabled goddess that's supposed to be "protecting" the bay the town sits in, a farm hand named Keanu Kapono, fueled by just a bit of the liquid courage, ventures to the shrine carved directly into a cave deep within the heavy forest inumerous years ago to confront her, but he arrives to it being completely abandoned. It looked like he would have to summon the goddess himself if he wanted to be heard.
The altar was untouched, since the place was literally deserted. Brass goblets with signs of having been left with standing liquid in them over time. Plates with remnants of food that rotted long ago.
Keanu summoned the island goddess, Mailani, and prepared themselves to force the deity to get off her lazy laurels and do her job. What he got was something completely unexpected.
The goddess came, as summoned, but was spat out from the Void, frail and injured. Her limbs were covered in old and only just healing welts from being lashed. Even her wrists and ankles donned deep and profound bruises from being restrained.
An abandoned shrine? And a goddess that looks like she's been tortured?
What's going on here?
