Low Rent? Just Means I'm Affordable

"You sure you want to discuss this with him around?" Valrym thumbed his finger to me and I almost growled at the implication.

"The low rent necromancer? Yeah I don't think there is anything to worry about with him." I went to protest but figured it best to just drink my beer and listen to their plotting in case it could work in my favor.

"So what do you want Devuin?" Valrym was always a no bullshit kind of guy, which is nice most of the time.

"Valrym please don't be like that, we hardly see each other."

"Which is intentional."

"Still holding a grudge?"

"No Devuin it never bothered me that while my followers and religion died fighting a pointless war under the earth, you managed to keep being a god despite having no followers simply because people believe in the wind because its real while the earth is just a concept that requires no belief, I hold no grudge." I never thought of it like that, but it did make sense, I mean people always curse the wind, never made me think that actually could give a god power, but anything is possible.

"Well I'm glad you aren't holding a grudge." Devuin seemed either uniquely uncaring, or a masterful user of sarcasm, I was too drunk to tell the difference.

"Again what do you want?"

"I want you to be a god again! I want us to be having fun like we did back in the day! Sure you weren't exactly the earth god but you are his spawn and could just as easily be him! You just kind of need to kill another god."

"And the real reason comes out, let me guess its you who want to move on from where you are at, and want me to risk myself to get there." Valrym saw through Devuin's plan, though to be honest it was a fairly obvious plan.

"Look you'd benefit too, so its not like you'd completely be put out by it."

"I can kill a god." I decided to speak up, even though it was a bit slurred.

"Shut up Trezlan drink your beer." And so I did, and then I passed out.  I'll admit it probably wasn't the best idea when there was discussion of gods killing gods, but if this journal has shown anything its my propensity for making bad decisions!
