While both champions were aghast, Daruun continued, "The second reason is that the gods ruling your pantheons have forbidden it. They refuse to allow their subordinate gods to outgrow them."
"Then… If it's impossible, why did you mention that Jack could help us become gods earlier?" questioned Hadurt. He just recently accepted the chance to become a god and he wasn't willing to let go of that chance so easily.
Smiling, Daruun replied, "That's because Jack does have the ability to help you. Allow me to explain.
"Jack has already been claimed as a demigod, as has his new sister and his fox companion. And others will soon be joining those ranks. The issue you three now face doesn't lie in the inability to find willing gods, it lies in your current lack of immortal potential. So if you lack something, can't you simply get more of that thing?"
