Mortals are meant to bow before the gods—yet today, the gods will bow to me. Beneath my feet, Earth drifts in the distance, fragile and eternal. Of all the worlds, there is none more worthy of the sacrifice I am about to make. The Veil reveals beauty unseen, the hidden light of realms only those who pass through may see.

thunder rolls and crackles above as I stride towards the celestial gate. Each step I make sends ripples through the lake that separates the worlds.

I grasp my father's sword, heavy in my hands I am far too aware of the weight it bears not just for me but for the children of Adam. I must succeed .

I remember my father's voice ,feel his heartbeat through our ancestral blade. My heart answers, as I break into a sprint. I am not afraid but I can't help by ponder my chances. Do I dare go where no man has?

Do I dare defy the gods of old ?

No-but I am no man ; I am the son of El.
