Tbh I'm writing a book at the moment, or I'd turn this into a series telling about Julianne's adventures and perils. I'll probably add a link if I do start a series based on this story.

I'm assuming that's an impressed wow

"Please help. My family is gone. I don't know what to do. My husband burns, my children buried. Please help me." a voice cried stirring me from my centuries long slumber. Reaching out I look to the last of my shrines. So few are left and most are not even recognized by anyone other than being ancient altars displayed in museum's. As I look upon the first being to pray to me in centuries I notice she's crouching at my altar within their nation's national museum. All I feel is her sorrow and desperation. 

After a few seconds I decide that if she needs help I'll help. "Child why do you appear in such sorrow?" I say as I appear behind her, startling her. 

"Wha….?" She cries in fright as she turns to face me. " W-wh-who are you?" She asks, confused with tears running down her face.

"I'm Paanaaraa, goddess of virtue, healing, bounty, and family. I'm the head of my family. I heard you crying at this altar." I reply calmly.

"B-b-bu-but the museum has it displayed as a statue?" she said pointing to the altar. I notice that it's one of the very first altars created in my name. A circle dias with a large lotus, standing in the lotus a lioness and her cubs.

"Ahh, an altar can be shaped like anything from a statue to a table." I replied. "You haven't told me yet who you are, my child." As I finish talking I lead her to a bench, sit her down and start wiping her tears away.

"M-m-my name is Julianne Sarthum. Are you really a g-go- oddess?" she said between her whimpers. 

"Yes my dear. Why do you want my help? For revenge? Or perhaps the power to save others from experiencing what you have?" I questioned.

"W-w-what I really want is my family back. But you can't do that can you." She stated.

"I cannot return them from the dead. It's not within my power anymore. Perhaps a few millennia ago I could. But as I have very few altars anymore I'm weakend." I say sadly as she her eyes widened and then she looked at me with sadness.

"Then can you help save other families from the plague and war tearing us apart?" She asked softly.

"That I can do. But I have a stipulation. After all nothing comes free child." I say with a loving smile.

"What's that?" she asked as she finally composed herself.

"As you save families, remind them of the old gods. Spread knowledge of my family so we may help you all once more. As it is if you hadn't cried in front of this altar I would still be slumbering with my family. For this I make you my priestess. I leave unto you this tome filled with the origins and rites for my entire family. As well as vestments allowing you to use the powers I command to help all before you. So my child, do you accept this bargain?" I say as I conjure a thick tome and the elegant vestments given to my priestesses. 

"Yes. It will take a long while, but I will do everything I can before my time comes. This country is torn and battered, but I'm certain that I can spread knowledge of your family, and I'll pass it on to a disciple when it's time." She said standing confident and proud. 

"Very well my child. And though you've lost your family, know that I'll have them waiting for you in my home." I say as I begin to fade from the mortal plane. "Know that now that I'm awakened I'll watch over you and as the others awaken they'll send their priests and priestesses to you so you may spread word."

As I fade back to my home I hear. "Yes, my Lady." And see Julianne dressed in her vestments smiling. 

………..

Many years later:

"Welcome my child, you have done well." I say to Julianne. After 100 years she had spread the knowledge I gave her far beyond her homeland and in turn awakened my family. 

"Thank you my Lady." She replied as she was embraced by her husband and children. 

"You're welcome my child. I now task you and your family to watch over the world with us, and be our messengers to the mortal plane." I say as I smile and watch them join me and my family for a feast. Knowing that if I hadn't answered that desperate plea that none of what now was, would've been remotely possible.
