Her voice tilts through the golden shrine of the almighty god, and as she speaks of her knowledge he begins to appear. His presence begins as a soft glow in the heart of the shrine, one that begins to expand rapidly and as it does it's brilliance increases until it is too bright to look upon. Fire snarls to life suddenly around the cool stone of the rocky plateau, burning a vibrant orange that does not burn as it dances and twists, though it radiates a pleasant heat.
From the sunlight itself, the perfect combination of flame and light, the god walks from the heavens, stepping through the metal of the shrine as though it's mere space instead of a solid object.
His golden coat seems to absorb the steady glow of the light that had begun to shine around his shrine; it gave his hide a metallic gleam that no other could match. The flames snapping at his hooves leapt into his mane and tail, splashing across his haunches with a flick as he settled in to talk with this mortal.
Just as he cocked a hoof and resettled his wings, her tale finished.
"So you have learned little dove. I commend your dedication to the task, and in return.... your reward."
As he murmurs that final word a light pours from his maw. It moves like a liquid thing, but appears thicker than water, yet translucent and all together too bright to see entirely. As he breathes out the brightness it eddies its way to Sohalia, eventually slipping into her eyes with an abrupt flash that might send her unconscious.
When she recovers, the god will have left, and she will find that she is in the spiritual world. The land will appear monochromatic and dull, anything living existing like a twisted, broken shell of its former self while anything dead moves freely and with an effluent grace. Spirits themselves float and hover, their souls ebbing with a constant, meager glow from the smallest of crushed leaves to the giant reptilian monstrosities of an era long forgotten. They fade in and out of existence and seem not to notice her or each other, but drift on in this world where the dead have come to gather.
Sohalia needs to only shut her eyes to return to mortal, living world.
