"I hope what you say is true." Ishtar did not smile at all. She only walked over and stood at Blake's side.
Zeus walked over to Blake and stretched his hand out. "I hope I can be of service to you. In fact, I did try to get that old bastard Anu to do a few things and had planned to make my way to Earth. But I could not just leave until I settled things in my domain. I do apologize."
Blake shook his hand and smiled. "It's fine. Whether you showed up or not, what is happening now would still happen. It's just good to know that one of the gods of Earth still sees it as their home."
