The red door Morghen created swung open, revealing a portal to another realm. Before he stepped through, he turned to me with a grin.
"Keep things interesting, Gideon. I'll be watching," he said, and with a casual wave, he walked through the door, which promptly closed behind him.
I let out a deep breath, my body slowly uncoiling from the tension. I had just encountered a god, again. He didn't even flex on me like Akasha had, but the encounter left me with a mix of anxiety and curiosity. Morghen's words about testing me after the war lingered in my mind. I really didn't want to fight him, but what he said was true, and it would be to my benefit.
Shigora, who had been silent during Morghen's visit, finally spoke up. "Well, that was entertaining, wasn't it? The God of War taking an interest in you is no small matter. You might have just gained yourself an ally in a very powerful entity."
