"But it can work." He leaned back slightly, his gaze drifting for a brief moment before returning to them, "Its just not going to be easy."
"Because the gods won't let it be easy they will
Definitely interfere." He tilted his head faintly,
"Again and again." His lips curved into a faint, dry smile..
"They keep pushing me into that role… making sure I stay the 'villain'…" His eyes darkened subtly, "No matter the cost." The casual way he said it made it worse, not better. "So yeah that's why ill have to be prepared."
Maria blinked, processing that slowly, and then nodded faintly as realization began to form, "Wait so that's why you have to fight gods," she said quietly, almost to herself, as the pieces finally started connecting in her head.
