I tore down your altar, still I kneel.
You forgot who put you up there.
#polarity #fin

a character in a red and black jacket kneeling in front of a collapsed/destroyed altar in an area that looks underground. their head is turned to eye the viewer as a candle burns in front of their body on the altar. a statue head of a woman sits on the altar with her eyes closed. she seems to sleep serenely with stone fingers underneath her mouth/chin. there are culturally stylized paintings on the walls of the altar room depicting a snarling dog/wolf creature and a figure in a light garment that resembles the statue holds up lightning bolts with a symbol of earth to her side.
