every god has a stone impanted on their chest and when they become one with nature on their 18th birthday, they give the stone to the beholder (close friend). the beholder then has to offer the stone to the shrine however the old lady gave him a different stone to offer to the shrine in order to keep the real stone as a memory of the god they grew up with for 18 years. i guess since he has the real stone, the spirit of the god still exists with him
What did the old lady mean by offering the stone to the god. Did she mean that it can bind the god with the holder or something?
