(18)(M4f)(telegram) the gods sometimes play with mortals

The sun beat down onto the small village, the summer heat cooking the houses. The market busy with traded goods coming from further down the river, beads and cloth crafted in the bigger cities closer to the coast exchanged for bushels for grain harvested from the fields of the village.

she however passed all of them by, entering the small temple near the village center, a small wheat cake in the young woman’s hands as an offering. Removing her simple sandels she stepped inside, oil lamps burning to light the interior and the faint scent of burnt incense filled the room. the old, wrinkled priestess approached silently taking the offering and placing it on a slab of polished black stone in front of the statue. Hune from the same black rock as the slab, it was a male figure holding an ear of grain in one hand and an orb in the other. The villages Parton deity, Kem’Ta; god of the earth and therefor the harvest the village relied on. Traditionally the unmarried amongst the villagers were expected to devote a portion of there earnings to the god, to keep the harvests continuously good and it was hardly the young woman’s first time giving an offering, she had done this since she was able to walk after all. But today was different, perhaps it was the incense smoke or the heat of the day, but the room began to spin once the offering was placed. Gathering in closer and closer until suddenly it seemed very very small …then the voice spoke.

“From rivers bend, towards the sunset sky. On the rock of sandstone, in the center lie. Give up for yourself, all earthly dressings. And accept for you own, a heavenly blessing”

And with that the air seemed to rush back into the room, the temple expanding back out to its normal size. No one else seemed to be reacting to the events that just transpired, the old priestess simply turning around and hobbling back down the steps towards the young woman to receive the next villagers offering….

(hey there thanks for reading my RP idea, the basic premise is that you play as a village girl, set in the early bronze age. In a small poor village living a normal basic life. After making a traditional offering to the temple you hear mysterious instructions guiding you to seek out a “heavenly blessing” The village god Kem’Ta took an interest in one village girl in particular and like in Greek mythology the gods are often interested in getting ‘involved’ with mortals. What sort of antics we get up to we can discuss further

hope to hear from you soon.
