The gods were never distant beings in the sky but broken entities who chose to live among humans and failed them. Luma, a mortal who carried the last fragment of balance, discovered the truth behind divine silence and suffering. When ancient forces of judgment rose to erase everything, she made the ultimate sacrifice. She stripped the gods of their divinity and bound them to humanity forever. In doing so, she ended worship, judgment, and divine rule. The gods lived on as mortals. Luma died as balance itself. The world continued without bells, without gods, and without excuses.
