Valiana | you live in her??? (Demon God/dess pov)

She fought through guardians that should not have been alive, through traps designed for minds long dead, until she reached the artifact. It pulsed with authority, with hunger. Valiana hesitated only a moment—then took it. A knight of Tessani did not question orders.
