Promises For The Future

Varian's smile froze and the memory of that brief, brief moment flashed in his mind.

"So you saw him." Aphosis pursed his lips.

Varian nodded stiffly, his hands trembling without him even realizing. When he opened his mouth, his voice was shaking too. "Is he really not a god already?"

"He's the closest to being one." Aphosis sighed under his breath. "Truth be told, neither me nor any ruler knows enough about that being.

The God Emperor had a difficult past but it's nothing unique. But his ascent after reaching the divine ranks seems like a myth.

We haven't ever truly fought him. No, it should be said that he has never bothered to truly fight us.

Unlike the princes who run the Empire and want to expand, the Jai Empire never cared. His actions give off the impression that he's content with the status quo."

Varian's shoulders drooped. The more he learned about that man, the more he didn't know what to expect.
