The stink of the first step city spreads for miles before the city arrives. Even in the cold winter, where every damn smell is muted, the smell of shit is all pervasive on the route to the first step.
Hobbes cursed the smell of shit, the shitty soldiers who were accompanying him back and all the other shit he did not need in his life.
The first directive Hobbs received from Sasha was simple.
'Construct sewage tunnels for the Firststep city. '
If it were just that, if it were just constructing sewage tunnels, Hobbs wouldn't be this distrubed.
What Sasha Winterchild wanted was for him to direct all that shit in the first step into the exploded grand temple of the new gods.
Almost ninety nine percent of the Firststep city are devotees of the newgods.
Sure, with Cortana's act of blowing up grand temple, the religious fervor died down, but that does not mean all the zealots died along with the church.
