Angelic Artemesia, Deity of Grace

You are travelling along, wandering the lands of distant places when you suddenly you spot something or someone in the distance. Curious, you make your way towards the strange, unknown entity to come across what looks like some sort of portal. Its glowing, golden fragmented contents effortlessly seeming to spill out and scatter across the land before you as if trying to lure others to its location like a trap. With a gentle, warm glow suddenly washing over you, you stare at the portal in a trance-like state. Without thinking, you reach out your paw towards the portal, even if every urge in your being is telling you not to.

Suddenly there is a flash of light and then everything goes dark...

Some time passes, though you are unaware how much time has actually passed. You blink repeatedly as your vision clears and adjusts to where the portal has taken you. Before you can utter a word as your vision completely clears, you hear a voice. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A visitor? In my realm? How peculiar." The voice would speak as you looked up to see the stranger before you.

This creature was unlike any creature you have encountered before. It had a golden-colored body that reminded you of royalty & the gods themselves. The golden colors shocking your eyes awake as if looking into the sun. You would blink a few more times to refocus on the creature before noticing more features about it. However, what stood out the most, was the fact that this being was decorated in a soft, angelic light. Your eyes widening slightly as you took in their ethereal beauty, trying your best to keep it together as the creature's radiant, piercing golden eyes stared back at you. It was clear that the creature was examining you, as if to see if you were going to make a move or not.

Suddenly, the creature would speak again, seeing that you were still taken back by the whole situation. "Heh, seeing as you're not going to say anything, I guess that leaves only me. You may call me Artemesia. I am the ruler of this realm, the Deity of Grace." She would smile delicately as she looked down at you from her pedestal. "So, what is it that seek, mortal? Something must have brought you here, it's not often I get visitors after all." She would add with a rather amused, sassy expression on her face.

You would look at the beauty in awe seeing how beautiful and majestic she actually was before clearing your throat to find the words. The beauty's expression would change as you explained your situation and reason for being there. "Ah, I see now. Heh, very interesting indeed. Very well, if that is what you wish. I find you very intriguing my dear, so I shall help you in your endeavors as I have grown a liking to you." She would chuff before licking her delicate paw, covered in her soft, luxurious fur. She would then let out a mighty roar that seemed to shake the heavens and cause the very pits of hell to rise, another portal would open before you. "This portal shall take you to where you wish to be most, whether that be your deepest desire, or somewhere in the past or future. However, if you ever find another portal that leads back to me, I would not mind a visit, especially if it's from you." She'd purr with a wink before setting herself upon her royal pedestal. "Till then, let my light be your guide, my sweet."

And with that you went through the portal, what happened after that and where you ended up all depends on what you seek for most of all...
