"So you've finally returned, Crowley."

It's like a taunting whisper over his shoulder, everywhere and nowhere at once. The long shadow of her shrine darkened, until the waters behind it disappeared into blackness. From it came a twinkle of starlight, the brightness reflecting into two orbs as she steps forth across the decrepit remains of her shrine. She spares it a glance, casual and at ease, before she turns to gaze upon the battered soldier at her hooves. 

He had asked her for a power that could curse and cripple, and so she had crippled him in return. The equality of the land and her own mischievous desires - whims and thoughts that held more sway over her decisions than any notion of fairness - dictated that he suffer in the way that hundreds could once he acquired a piece of her powers. Though she had not anticipated his quest to tangle and rupture like blood vessels, it had ultimately been his decision and his actions. 

"Seasons. And here you are before my shrine once more. Could you not handle the power of the curses you wish to bestow on others?" Her sharp words were simultaneously mocking and meaningful. Did he come to wave his white flag? Or did he still seek the destructive power of curses and oaths, even after seeing firsthand the ways a life could be ruined by it? "Or do you desire it all the stronger now that you've felt its impact?" Her glittering vixen eyes stared down at Crowley and the hound that had been spared her wrath by choice of its devoted bonded. 

Whatever he chose had no impact on the Goddess. She was not here to be his moral compass, merely to exact her pound owed from his flesh and spirit before she imparted him with the power he sought.
