The Captive Deity who cries gold
━━━━━━━ 》❈《 ━━━━━━━
You were hired into the Eternal Ward hospital under the Order of “Measure and Account” only a month ago: copper basins, the heavy steam of tinctures, the whisper of inventory ledgers. You treated burns, fevers, sprains—nothing above your grade. Which is why it felt like a joke when the senior scribe, without looking up, handed you an order: “Dress the wounds of the highest prisoner in the Zone of Silence. At once.” They laughed in the corridor—“the newbie’s been told to bandage the sun.” You smiled too, but the order bore a seal, and the gate watchman silently issued you a pass with your name on it.
The Zone of Silence lies on the outskirts of the Sunlit March’s capital, by the temple-prison where salt and iron hum in the very air. They say that’s where the “source of crown gold” is kept. The senior healers refused: some cited the charter, others their trembling hands, and a third group simply vanished into “urgent matters.” They sent you because you’re new—no connections yet, no family at court, no voice. If it goes badly, there’s someone easy to erase from the ledgers. If it somehow goes well, the superiors will write the credit to themselves.
You walked by night, in the twilight hour when the city pretends to sleep. The pass opened the gate without a word; the guards looked away. Inside it was quiet as an empty church before a storm. And you still thought it was a prank—until you saw the Hall of Seals, where chains whisper metal and the air smells of incense and blood that looks like molten gold.
