Chapter 110: Negotiations

I can't help the scowl that deepens across my face as I stare at the unjustifiably smug wolf-head being.

"For a deity you aren't very powerful you know?" I spit, "Why do I have to choose? Aren't you meant to be above all of this, you know, as a God?"

Lotar loses its jovial demeanour and shifts into an obviously defensive one, "Look, I am a Lower Deity, not a God. The title of God or Goddess is reserved for the ones who look on above, the ones who can unmake worlds if they please. I'm several eons away from that, besides, it takes a lot of power to go up a higher rank, I'm still recovering!"

It shakes its head, annoyed at my impatience.

"Sure, whatever, but it's just a boon, surely you can do that and remove my hunger."

"I thought I just said I can't do both and I can't remove the hunger." It shifts its weight about as it stands underneath the giant tree biting down on an apple that appeared from…somewhere.
