I enjoyed this story. The ending really captured the underlined sentiment of the overall piece.

Very nice! When Dishu said he didn't remember his father or grandfather, I guessed he would turn out to be a god, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. I think I would have liked a bit more from the ending; I can't put my finger on what I wanted from it, though.

This was a great story. The imagery of the shattered temple felt so vivid and poignant, and the birth of Aradishu was a great conclusion. Awesome!
