You clamber desperately up to Larkka. “Please help me!” you beg. “I don’t know how I got here, but I need to go back!”
The goddess gazes nonchalantly down at your beast. You can’t see her eyes well through the skull that adorns her head, but she almost looks bored. “Now why would I do that? Your soul will be mine eventually. All come to my realm when I call them. If you’re already here, that’s less work for me.”
Suddenly, you hear something bound from the fog behind you. You freeze, thinking you’re about to be attacked, but a small creature jumps to your side. It snaps its head up to stare up at Larkka and makes a series of loud clicking sounds.
Larkka seems to understand and responds with a lower-pitched clicking. You stand there, your blood running cold as you realize you have no idea what they are saying to each other.
 
Depict your beast talking with Larkka, watching Larkka speak with her familiar, or illustrate this part of the story.

"None who comes in my realm can leave without abandonning something behind. What could you possibly offer a goddess for your pathetic mortal life?"

Larkka loomed over Aiden, the worg frightened, stepped back fearfully. They were unable to speak.

the goddess of darkness scoffed with disdain. "or maybe you don't really want to go back... do you?"

Aiden looked down. those words made their heart sink. it wasn't exactly wrong. Shyly, they manage to croak with a trembling voice "I...  still want to live another day... but if I would have to leave something behind... it would be myself."

Larkka raised an eyebrow with mild interest. The goddess familar started chirping and clicking words Aiden couldn't understand. Larkka nodded and stood up, towering over the mortal worg. with a surprisingly gentle nudge, Larkka pulled something from Aiden. They didn't know what yet.

"Follow my pet, if you want to live. But be warned child... what I took from you, you will never get back. I do not grant new beginnings, I don't give, I only take. And what I own, is forever mine to keep.

And so, Aiden felt forever changed, as they followed the familiar of Larkka in hope to find their way back to the world of living, they could feel something died in them... something they didn't know they would miss. A part of their soul was claimed by the darkness that day.
