You are vigorously awakened from your dream by an odd looking bald man wearing golden robes. "Rise, chosen one, rise, the ceremony is about to begin!" You are very confused by what is happening, especially since you were sleeping in a lavishly decorated bed and also wearing golden robes. You are whisked through large passageways and into a huge hall, where an impossibly large purple gem made up the roof and the floors were covered in a fine black carpet. You are amazed by the beauty of the temple, where some sort of religion you never heard of must be practiced. You ask your escort what is going on.
"Ah, chosen one, I see that your excitement has blurred your senses and reason, but that is definitely expected. I probably wouldn't believe it myself! You have been chosen to be the Great Mother's next head priest!"
"Great Mother?" you reply.
"Yes, the Grand Parent, the Goddess of all that is Good, our beloved divine ruler and savior! I believe you prefer to refer to her by her true name, Ayla."
You notice many other priests kneeling on the black carpet in complete solitude in a circle. You are directed to the center of the group and can feel power well up in you, though you do not understand it. You start to kneel yourself, but a voice in your head tells you to remain standing. The power grows greatly, and to your surprise you start to levitate off the ground! You continue to rise up into the air towards the very high purple ceiling. You think you are going to hit it, but instead you pass through the gemstone like water. You can still breathe, and your body feels cleansed with every breath that you take. You rise for hundreds of feet until you break through the surface of the purple ceiling, causing it to ripple.
A million things hit you at once. All around you you see the curvature of the Earth, and realize that you are many miles above the surface. You look down, and notice the temple below start to look smaller. Looking down, you first realize that the temple is round with long golden corridors reaching out from opposite sides. The ground it is on is black just like the carpet, and you realize it must be the same material. You realize that the temple is wrapped around a huge pillar, one of four of different lengths, and a fifth one nearby...
You do a double take. That temple is on the ring finger of a giant black furry hand! Slowly, you rise your head, to see the humongous face of a jet black jackal, a divine goddess hundreds of miles tall. In her other paw is a massive marble sceptre, which is tilting towards you. As you are pressed against the hilt of the sceptre, a pearl the size of a small city, you hear a divine female voice echo throughout you and the rest of the world:
"Congratulations, head priest, and may your leadership be known throughout history. Now, let us all begin the celebration!"
