Chapter Sixteen
Van
Around me a cold mist curls and a mystical forest with impossibly large trees and glowing flowers surrounds the field I stand in. The earth feels soft beneath my feet, and everything here seems to belong…except for me.
From somewhere in the mist I sense a disturbance. It makes the hairs on every inch of my body stand on end. A shape draws closer, and I take a step back. The shape belongs to something powerful and dangerous.
And then he emerges.
Easily seven feet tall, the man wears armor from head to toe. A dark fur cloak wraps across his massive shoulders, and I can’t see much beneath the helmet except two piercing blue eyes and a long, dark beard. In his hand, the monstrous man carries a huge sword--the same sword that now belongs to me.
He lumbers toward me like a dinosaur. The earth shakes beneath his feet. But his power isn’t just in his size and strength; this man is a god. There’s no denying it.
When he draws closer to me, he stops. The urge to fall to my knees sweeps through my body, and I struggle to stay on my feet until my legs finally collapse under me. His gaze seem to burn into me.
“Son of man,” he says, and his dark voice seems to echo in the air; it holds me in its spell. “You have been chosen.”
Fear and awe rush through me, but at least my voice sounds steady when I speak. “Chosen for what?”
He tilts his head, studying me. “To bring us back to life. To break us from our prisons and rule the world once more.”
“Rule?” I ask, before I can question the wisdom of that question.
It isn’t like we haven’t heard this spiel a million times since we showed up here: the gods want to rule, they can’t be trusted, and everyone thinks we’re too weak to hold the gods in check. But maybe the gods have their own perspective.
“Yes, a god can only rule. He cannot be a part of society. It’s impossible.”
And they say that now I’m a god. What does that mean for my future?
“But I don’t want to rule,” I tell him. It’s bad enough I’m supposed to take over my father’s company; I don’t want to take over the world.
His mouth draws into a grim line. “And they don’t want you to rule either. The creatures who dared attack gods don’t understand their place in this world. They don’t realize that they should be on their knees before you. But with time, they will learn, or they will be destroyed.”
This time when I open my mouth, his gaze flickers to my face, his blue eyes blazing with heat. I try to speak, but no words come out.
“We are Tyr, the god of war, glory, justice, and oaths. And when I am fully reborn within you, we will begin again to change this corrupt world. Any who do not fulfill their oaths, any who are cowardly in the face of war and danger, will taste the justice of my sword.
