"Because I'm here to… kill Agra. And you… you might be able to help." Michael said it so casually. What Fayeth had just heard should have shocked her to her core. The God of Darkness… was going to kill another god? But coming from him, it sounded almost mundane. Like he was talking about… taking out the trash, or doing the laundry. She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again, her mind struggling to process the… casualness of his declaration.
She stared at him for a moment, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water, before finally managing to find her voice.
Gaya, watching the exchange with a barely concealed smirk, thoroughly enjoyed Fayeth's reaction. Even she, who'd witnessed Michael's power firsthand, who'd seen him tear through armies and face down gods, still found it a little… surreal when he talked about killing a deity as if it were just another item on his to-do list.
