The sounds of a finely crafted drinking horn cracking bounced off the walls of Odins Divine Residence within the Hall of Gods. His aged, battle-worn face was tightened with concern as he opened his eye and exhaled shakily. The sharp pain in his palm brought him back to reality as he sadly looked down at the shattered horn he had used for ale for nearly 4000 years.
To his right, The God of Light Yahweh was stunned to silence. The two of them had just witnessed the death of another Deity for the first time since the end of the previous Legacy Strife, and to say it was a horrible way to die was an understatement.
Although they had their suspicions as Cynrik had progressed through his Egress Dive, they now were absolutely sure that he had discovered the existence of the Strife and was actively withholding information.
