Side Chapter: The Dark Steppes Gods

-----

In a Divine Realm surrounded by poisonous gases and strange, tentacled trees where odd and alien-like creatures resembling squids of all shapes and sizes inhabited, various demigods and a few gods discussed things.

"So Ghiotl, did you blessed her child?" asked a god resembling a giant alligator with rock-like green scales, a long jaw filled with sharp teeth and whose legs seemed to have adapted to swim better in water, resembling the fin of fish.

"Yes, Geodredeot… but it cost us more than we imagined… her children are indeed… very strong…" said the voice of a female that came from within a giant purple-colored floating squid which had one single crimson eye and hundreds of tentacles. Each of her tentacles seemed to have an orifice where poisonous gas was exuded each time it exhaled. Due to the nature of its existence, it needed to exhale each time it spoke several words, so it always spoke slow.
