Fear of Failure and Vulnerability

Subplot: Cethan's Downfall (Cuwedh Lyvar (Book))

Cethan succeeds in passing the many trials of temptation but ultimatly is revealed to have done it all for the sake of impressing men and not out of faith in the Living God. 

In the end, Cethan is called to abandon earth to be with his god. This requires him to let go of his control, acknowledge that he might not have all the answers, and show faith in something greater than himself. He clings to his need to be right and his fear of appearing weak. 

Note: 

Cethan stood on the precipice, the call of the divine echoing in his mind, a whisper that promised peace and eternal solace. The wind howled around him, a symphony of celestial voices urging him to let go, to trust.

But he couldn't.

The memories of his victories against temptation flashed before him—each triumph, a testament to his strength and righteousness. He had resisted the allure of forbidden pleasures, denied the seduction of power, and emerged unscathed from every trial. He was right. He had to be right.

"What if I’m wrong?" The thought gnawed at him, an insidious whisper that threatened to unravel everything he believed in. To admit he was wrong, to accept that he didn’t have all the answers, felt like a betrayal of everything he had fought for.

"Come, Cethan," the divine voice called again, gentle but insistent. "Abandon your fears. Trust in me."

His heart pounded, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He took a step back, away from the precipice. "I can’t," he whispered, the words choking him. "I can’t."
