"Ack! Wait... a god is supposed to be in the chamber 24/7!" the fiery creature sputtered indignantly. "What do you mean you wouldn't be here?!"

"I'm on the field fighting. I'm not just a god, I'm also the Hero Leader," Alex explained, his tone firm but gentle. "My duties extend beyond this chamber. I have to protect the people, not just sit here and be worshipped."

The fiery creature sputtered in disbelief. "But... but who will take care of the offerings? Who will light the incense? Who will polish your magnificent statue?"

"You will," Alex replied with a chuckle. "Consider it part of your duties as my partner. Besides, who better to maintain a holy place dedicated to the God of Grinding than the Fiery Blessing herself?"

The creature's eyes widened, then a slow grin spread across her face. "Hmm... you have a point there. Alright, I accept! I, the Fiery Blessing, shall become the guardian of this holy place!"
