Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-45114654-20200312132813

You are a young boy without a name, a family or hope. Your past is one of sorrow, born in an isolated town that's not on any map, the community that you were part of was one that was slovenly and decadent and didn't foster compassion. Fearing destruction by a god as a punishment for their behavior, they decided to hold a ritual of their own design wherein a child would be isolated from everyone else at the bottom of a well, and plied with a handful of mud by each inhabitant of the town, as a way of symbolically cleansing themselves of their sins. You were that child, born in darkness and solitude, without comfort. One night as you are sleeping, you dream that you are being held by a woman to her chest, as a mother would her child. She says, "Poor child, born not knowing of a mother's embrace, a family's love and acceptance, or even the warmth of human contact, your home will soon face its doom. What they have done to you is the latest in a long line of sinful acts that have earned their destruction; However, you will not suffer. Regardless of what you choose you will be safe, but if you would like, I will adopt you as my own and you will live a life full of love, as my son  What do you say?" Unknown to you, the woman speaking to you is a goddess, attracted to the town and alerted to its atrocities by your sadness and lamentations. As the child in this scenario what is your life like, WWYD, who is the goddess, and how is the town destroyed?
