With Vareth defeated, Karcel's forces had gained a critical victory, but the war was far from over. The remaining rogue gods were still at large, and each victory only made the next battle more dangerous.
They regrouped at their camp, where the mortal forces under Kalos's command had begun to gather. Karcel could see the fear and uncertainty in their eyes—mortals had never fought in the wars of the gods before, and the scale of the conflict was overwhelming.
Kalos approached her, his face grim. "My people are ready to fight, but we won't last long against gods. We need a plan."
Karcel nodded. "We'll need to strike quickly, before the rogue gods can rally their forces. Our next target is Elana, the Goddess of Fire and Wrath. She's been amassing an army in the southern lands. If we can take her down, it will cripple the others' morale."
