"I can't help, but feel this is your fault." Hanlon looked at the spider god with a mix of amusement and disgust, the half man spider, much like his children looked too spider and not enough man. He talked high pitched with a squeal more than a regular voice.
"I'd love to know your reasoning on that." The Fire God knew Hanlon was aware the spider god was still around, and of course he did. Hanlon liked to think he kept the lesser god in his pocket should it ever become useful.
"You clearly have arranged the Fire God against me, set her on this path somehow." Hanlon laughed at that.
"I did no such thing, if you must know the person you should really be angry with is yourself. Your not so subtle attempt to wipe out her followers directly lead to her doing as she did. And before you bother to claim you had nothing to do with the murder of The Followers, be aware I can see more things than you can." The Spider God smiled itself now.
"So she finally decided to stand up, and of course naturally chooses one of my seed planets."
"I never directed her there, perhaps your minions grew to greedy and they put out a call in the night, let no ill deed go unpunished is what I heard once." Hanlon didn't like being near the spider god, its appearance always put him off.
"All the same, maybe you should be more careful with your words when you speak with her, I'd hate to think you're turning against me."
"Never, I never work against another God, only for my own ends, but remember your place, my power grows, and you just lost a planet."
"Minor setback, and don't forget prey always thinks it's safe until the bite lands, and I know you're power is not infinite, I know what sits in the dark Hanlon." The spider god left and Hanlon waved him off. Though he knew now that was a shot fired across his bow, the damnable creature thought it could threaten him and it would find out that was not a smart move.
