    Ash sat in the forest with Tina standing beside him looking down at the town below them. They had been watching for two days as the duke searched for them with his armies.

    We should just kill him, Tina said with a slightly annoyed tone.

    I still can’t get used to you wanting someone dead, Ash said shaking his head.

    I have tried to explain this any number of times, Tina said in a scolding manner. Gods don’t make laws just because they want to. Each god focus on a different aspect. The god of death feels each stolen death by necromancers like a slap to the face. The god of life feels the same thing when an unborn child or animal is killed. I feel it whenever someone reaps something before it is ripe. For wheat that is when it is still a young stock. For a human that is when he is younger than twenty-three. The younger the person the harder the slap. For animals I feel it each time one is killed and not used. Like shooting a deer and just letting it die for fun. All that aside though right now I am not a god. The part of me that is a god is still in the heaven realm. Right now I am just a person and that man needs to be culled.

    Ok…Ok, Ash said trying to hush Tina who was slowly rising her voice louder and louder with each passing second. If we get a chance to we can kill him.

    Good, Tina said cheerfully, her attitude changing almost instantly.

    Ash wished that he had his bow right now so that he could just shoot the duke, but he didn’t. Most the items in his storage were still sealed. It was one of the few abilities he couldn’t use at all with the collar on. Reaching up Ash tugged on the collar and hoped that it would soon lose its power. The pain when using his abilities was almost gone but that was not true with his skills. The skills were gifts from the gods, just like his item box was and that meant that most of them were not directly linked to his soul like the abilities he had gained on his own..

    Right now we need to keep heading to Relar, Ash said as he moved back from the hill. I won’t miss the ship home for anyone or anything not even a goddess.

    Such a spoil sport, Tina said though her words were teasing and held no real anger as she lightly hit him in the arm.

    With the duke’s and kingdom’s armies looking for them they couldn’t take the main roads but with Tina’s sense of direction and knowledge of the landscape they didn’t have to worry about getting lost. Still Ash and Tina stayed close to the main road. Most of the time they stayed out of sight of the people on the road but every now and then when the trees were thick enough they would creep closer and check out the road. Most the time the road was empty with only a few normal travelers but every so often Ash would see a contingent of soldiers checking the travelers. There was no way for the duke to know where they were headed but Ash knew that the main roads would be thoroughly watched and so would the towns. They had supplies for now and could forage for what they needed but once they came to Relar they would have to go into town otherwise there would be no way for them to find the ship much less board it.

    Ash and Tina made camp away from the road when the sun began to set. Ash didn’t want to set a campfire since he was sure that soldiers were still watching the road but Tina started one before he could protest. As the fire went from a little flame to a small fire Tina moved closer and closer to Ash until she was so tight to his side he could feel it each time she breathed.

    Tina wrapped her arm around Ash’s waist and leaned her head on his shoulder. It has been a long time since I just sat around a campfire, Tina sighed contently.

    Looking at the fire as small portions of the wood popped and crackled Ash felt completely warm. I don’t think I have ever just sat around a fire with just a single person before. There was always something going on around me.

    I know, Tina said with an understanding tone. I kept an eye on you as much as I could after I learned about you. Your life over these past years has been a busy one but there are many who have led just as busy lives.

    If my life was so common then what gained your attention? Ash asked as he looked down at the goddess.

    I never said your life was common, Tina protested. No life is common, boring yes but never common. Each life has its own experiences that are unique only to them. But you are right it was not your life that drew my attention it was your soul. Souls are like the markers that define us in ways that nothing else can and your soul burned much brighter than those around you. It was not hard for me to find out that your soul was alien to this world.

    Oh and why is that?

    Did you know that all the gods’ souls were brought from other dimensions? Tina asked with a raised eyebrow. Back when the world was young we were given life and we lived as normal humans just as you do now. Upon our death instead of our soul moving on it lingered and we took on the mantle of the gods. The position we took on depended on our nature and the life we had led. You see this world has to have gods since we are stranded outside the natural flow thanks to chaos. It is our very presence that gives the world its shape, laws, and balance. When Lafier died the world started to falter. The animals didn’t have as many foal, the birds forgot to fly south for the winter. I took over his duties but even as a god my power is not infinite. The world needs a new god and it has finally chosen.

    For the first time Ash was surprised. Me a god, Ash said trying to pull back from Tina but she held his arm tightly.

    Not yet, and not for years to come I bet, Tina said trying to calm him down. You have demon blood and while a portion of it is human which means you will not live eternally you will live for thousands of years before your death if you wish it. Upon your death your soul will shed its body and takes its place within the heavens.

    Ash heard a catch in Tina’s voice as she spoke. What is it? Ash asked as he sensed something was bothering her.

    I wish you wouldn’t become a god, She said morosely.

    I thought having me around forever would make you happy, Ash replied teasingly.

    After you die you won’t really be you, Tina explained. You will keep your memories but becoming a god is not as simple as gaining power. You will be striped of most of your humanity and at first you will only have your duties. After twenty or thirty thousand years of small portions of the souls of this world seeping into your being you will start to regain your humanity but you will never be the man you are at this moment again. The only thing that will remain is the base of your soul.

    So you remember what life you had before you became a god? Ash asked trying to take her mind off of him.

    Yes, Tina said
