God's Garden Altar

Strange things were happening yet again. Though at least it wasn't like the Long Nights...though who could say for sure that it wouldn't happen again. Ina made her way through the lands, curious about the strange bubbles that cropped up and turning what should be summer lands into autumn before the season's true time. Was this the work of the Fallen God? Or something else? She shook her fur as she approached the statue in silence. Gaze looking sadly upon the statue's features and that of the pups at her feet. She still mourned for the children she had lost. And perhaps in some form, it overshadowed the pups that were living. Ono. Morax. March. They deserved more from her, and she desperately wanted to be more present for them. To be better. She blinked away the tears that dared to form, taking a deep and shaky breath before placing down her offering. It was a butterfly that she had found. Weak and on the edge of death when she found it. She had watched it for a while that day, stayed with it until it drew its last breath (did butterflies even breathe?). Seeing it as a sign, she had taken the butterfly carcass and kept it with her all this time. And now, she offered it to the statues. A symbol of her grief. Her shattered soul. But also of the hope and comfort she had found in it, that someday, she would see the children she didn't get the chance to love. And to be better for the ones that were with her now.
