Part 2: The Prayer for Protection - Calling Upon the Divine Light

The city of Samon was more than just a refuge; it was a sacred space, built by the hands of ancient peoples who had sought to protect themselves from the ravages of war and natural disaster. As Saye stood within the stone walls, she felt the weight of history pressing down upon her. This was no ordinary city; it was a place where the divine was believed to be close, where prayers and rituals could summon the gods themselves.

With every prayer she spoke, Saye felt herself growing stronger. The air around her shimmered with an unseen energy, and the walls seemed to pulse with life. The echoes of ancient chants filled the air, connecting her with the countless generations of people who had sought the same protection in times of crisis. It was as though the very soul of the city was alive, responding to her call.

Outside, the enemy forces grew closer. The sounds of battle could be heard in the distance, the clash of swords and the cries of the wounded filling the air. But within the city, all was calm. The people, who had sought refuge in the underground chambers, gathered together, praying for the safety of their families and homes. They knew that their fate rested in the hands of Ahura Mazda, and they trusted that the divine would guide them through the darkness.

Saye’s voice grew louder as she recited the ancient prayers, invoking the power of light and purity to drive away the darkness of the invaders. She felt the presence of Ahura Mazda all around her, and as her prayers reached their peak, a wave of light seemed to flood the city, filling every chamber and corridor with a bright, warm glow. The city, once dark and hidden, now seemed to come alive with the presence of the divine.
