The weight of my failure still presses down on me, a constant reminder of those I swore to protect and could not. When I learned of the Druid deities, one name echoed in the hollow chambers of my heart: the Dagda. The "Good God," they call him, the Lord of the Heavens. But it was his dominion over fatherhood and protection that truly seized my attention. I failed as a father, and my protection was insufficient, leading to the ultimate loss of my beloved wife and children. Perhaps by turning to the Dagda, by seeking his favor, I can find a measure of solace for my guilt and a new understanding of what true protection entails. And perhaps, as the Lord of the Heavens, he can watch over their spirits in the realms beyond, offering them a peace I could not provide in life. His other aspects, the mastery of arts and knowledge, even the promise of regeneration, offer a faint glimmer of hope for a future where I am not solely defined by loss and regret. It is to the Dagda, the god who understands the burdens and responsibilities of a father and a protector, and who reigns over the heavens, that I now feel called to dedicate my reverence, with the hope that he might extend his divine gaze to those I have lost.
