[ The temple is located not far from the border of another domain, the gas station. In contrast, the temple stands tall and proud at seven stories. The two massive statues on either side seem to welcome visitors, hands extended out. The one made of white marble always looks on serenely. The one made of black marble has his mouth open, shouting in silence.

If you've been here before you might've already noticed the apple trees around the base of the temple bearing their crystalline fruit. The stream that encircles the structure normally runs clear, but this week the water rushes just a little bit faster.

What has never happened before, though, is the way the stone structure seems to rattle and shake, as if from some unseen earthquake. If you approach close enough, you might also hear the stone itself humming.

Inside nothing seems different. The iron tree still stretches its branches to the glass dome. The smoke that permeated this place during the farmland fires seems to be gone. Some of the fruit from the tree, those same crystal apples, have fallen to the stone floor, splitting open to reveal the soft, sweet fruit flesh inside.

The owner of this domain might not be there when you arrive. There's nothing outright ominous about this place, aside from the shaking and the odd humming. It's quiet, and peaceful. A good place to pray, to any god you believe in. ]
