A Meeting Of Gods

Back in the Bastion, Phoenix was completing preparations for the time skip. When Astaroth had left, she thought about an issue that would arise when they were gone, but didn't want to bother him about it.

Who would rule their new kingdom while they were gone?

She thought about it for a while, doing other things in the meantime, until she thought of a solution. What if they put the guardian in charge?

Leon had just as much right as them to rule, seeing as he was the kingdom's new guardian, and who would try to fight a surrogate king in the Mythic grade?

But she knew he was lazy and prone to violence, since he was a beast man. As she wondered how she could keep him in check, another idea came to her.

She wasn't sure it would work, but trying wouldn't hurt anyone. But she would need to wait until nightfall.
