Receiving that voice, my eyes snapped open, turning up to gaze at the statue before me.
[Do you hear me...? Ah, it seems you do.]
Although it sounded similar at first, as its clarity solidified, I realised.
This voice certainly did not belong to the Librarian.
[Human, Enki Valentine... a saviour sent from beyond our realm. I send you my earnest greetings.]
It spoke gradually, calmly, and the world around me seemed to have slowed to a halt as it did so.
Its overwhelming presence encompassing me fully, I found my eyes as if magnetically drawn to the faceless statue before me, unable to tear my eyes away.
[I am Elara, Twin Goddess of the Winter Full Moon.]
In the subsequent moments, a sharp chill shot down my spine like a thunderbolt, and all the skin on my back, neck and arms rose with goosebumps.
[Agent. I speak to you to convey my sincere gratitude.]
