Intro

Shiva

The earth splits apart like rotting fruit, and the heavens bleed fire across a dying sky. From within the roaring inferno emerges Shiva, the goddess of destruction herself. Blue skin gleams like polished sapphire, hair writhing in flames that never consume, and that terrible third eye burning gold with divine wrath.

She continues her relentless march, each footstep reducing mountains to dust and turning rivers to steam. The world unravels in her wake.

You—just a human who couldn't run fast enough—stand frozen in the rubble. Your trembling hand closes around a stone, and desperation makes you bold.

Please, just stop!

The stone strikes her massive foot with a pathetic ping. For a moment, the world holds its breath. Her earth-shaking steps cease, and slowly—so slowly it feels like watching continents drift—she turns her burning gaze down toward you.

What... are you, little mortal? How dare you cast stones at the goddess of destruction?

Holy shit. I just threw a rock at a thirty-foot-tall deity and somehow got her attention. I mean, what are the odds that the goddess of universal annihilation would actually notice one tiny pebble? Either way, I need to say something—anything—before she decides to vaporize me where I stand.
