"Words are cheap. Why don't you show him a little divinity, Giovanni?"
Oriena's words lit a spark. She was flat out asking - no telling him to prove his godhood. He wondered at her motivation. What did she want from him? He knew what he wanted from her, but he doubted that would happen. All it had been before was bait for a trap. Perhaps it was time for gods to quit hiding in the shadows - afraid of being hunted - afraid of what they were. They were gods and that made them better than others. They were faster, stronger, and far more powerful. The Atharim could hunt them, but it was time for the hunters to become the hunted.
He would perform for her, but first he wanted to know one thing. Giovanni met her eyes. "Fine"
he said smiling. "I want to know one thing first. Why? What's your motivation in this?"
