"Do you wish to pray to the goddess?"
To be honest, Duncan's instinctive reaction at that moment was that there was something wrong with Gomona, the Storm Goddess—it was this seemingly protective deity's dangerous other side that cast a terrifying shadow deep within the City-State, and the occasional distorted appearance of the statue was evidence of that.
But the next second, another doubt arose: if there really was something wrong with Gomona, why were the other churches around the city normal?
He had indeed seen other Deep Sea Churches before—there was a community church near the antique shop, and there was one next to that ocean museum as well. Even though he hadn't entered to investigate thoroughly, he had lingered nearby, and the aura those churches emitted... was clearly different from the eerie church in front of him.
