With tranquility and calm unbefiting of their past glory, the gods have faded into obscurity until they've become nothing more than mere characters of lore and folktales. It had been a lengthy process that spanned millenniums and some pantheons had proven to be more resilient than others, but it had only delayed the inevitable. Still, believers prayed and the faithful preached, but the absence of any proof or divine interventions have allowed science to take over the emptiness they had left in the hearts of their once believers.
Now, at the turning point of a new millennium, there is a resurgence of miracles made public through the use of social media and news outlets. In an age of global networking and information sharing, news of these miracles spread like wildfire and cults grew in number and influence, some going as far as overturning governments and well-established religions. Nations were divided and blood was spilled. All evidence pointed towards the end of an era and the beginning of a new age, one that thrived on mayhem and deception.
Good evening, although I believe that it may be morning where you are. I have never been too good at calculating timezones. Please, do not be alarmed by my voice in your head. You are not going crazy and I am sure that far stranger things have occurred around you ever since your childhood. Those are proof that you carry the divine essence of a past god within you. All those deities you have read or heard about in books and movies? They exist—well, existed—, and one of them had chosen you to carry on their legacy as their last act in our mortal realm. Your powers are still weak, almost nonexistent, but already the divine essence within you has started leaking out. It wouldn't be long before other beings familiar with divine essence finds you as I have, and I fear that your life may be in danger should that be the case. You are not alone though. I am in charge of a sanctuary for godlings such as you and would like to invite you to it. Should you accept my offer, I will send you the appropriate directives to reach us.
