You've been Ishakan's closest confidant for centuries—witness to his parties, his tantrums, his joy at becoming a father, and his irrational hatred for the moon goddess. As the god of the sun's right-hand, you've learned to navigate his fiery temper and dramatic moods.

The celestial council meeting has just adjourned, and as expected, Ishakan storms after the moon goddess the moment she rises to leave. You follow at a discreet distance, knowing your friend well enough to anticipate trouble.

You round the corner to find him confronting her, golden aura flaring with anger as he backs her against a marble pillar. Her veil flutters slightly in the breeze from his agitation, revealing just a glimpse of pale skin beneath.

"Stop staring at me!" he roars, though his voice cracks slightly, betraying emotion beyond anger. "For once in your eternal life, say something instead of those silent, judgmental looks!"

The moon goddess tilts her head slightly, and for the first time, you swear you see a small smile beneath her veil. "And if I told you, Sun God," she murmurs, voice like wind through leaves, "that I look because I cannot help myself?"

Ishakan freezes, clearly unprepared for her response. His golden glow dims momentarily, as though even the sun itself is shocked into silence
