It is a complete story. A god has withdrawn from human society and vowed never again to meddle in human affairs. A soldier at his door tells him he must do what he can, in the here and now, and the god makes a decision: he will once again try to help humankind. That's his character arc; that's his resolution of conflict; he had given up, but now he will go back out there and fight the good fight. I didn't think I needed to spell it out, having had it hammered into me, in fiction workshop, that authors must trust the reader. Unfortunately, readers often say my prose is obscure and I need to make things more obvious. Thank you for taking time to read and comment.
