As Gideon navigates challenges, encounters enigmatic Beasts, and receives divine blessings, he realizes he's part of a cosmic game.

In a world on the brink of upheaval, Gideon must shape his destiny amidst celestial forces, where every decision carries weight. {{{Hey you! Yeah, you! I am a 35 year old man, and I just want to put it out here before you start reading that not all adults act or are as smart as their age credits them for. For the first time I have based the MC strictly off choices that I, myself would make in his position. I am sorry if my maturity isn't up to snuff, but before becoming a writer, I worked for 15 years in construction. I just wanted to add this little point before you read so you don't have any misconceptions going into this book!}}}

Chapter 19: The King's Choice

After spending another hour with Gideon, Thordin headed back to the castle with a few guards around him. He didn't think the assassins would bother him since the boy seemed to be their only target, but that could change.

If you can't get to your target, then you target those closest to them. That was just a rule of thumb when I came to these kinds of things. This wasn't the first time Thordin had dealt with assassins, but he knew that this was different.

The boy was right for his choices, even if some made Thordin sick to his stomach. The world was changing almost faster than the old dwarf could keep up, but that was why he was going to see the king. Thordin was clearly getting too old for this job.

A little while later, after talking to a few of the guards, Thordin made his way to the king's private office. According to the servants, he had been there all morning since a meeting with his daughter, Marcella.
