A TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING

reference books detailing myths and legends stolen from libraries...
wikipedia pages wiped clean from the face of the internet...
ancient stained glass windows smashed and destroyed...
historical research centers burnt to the ground...

Someone out there is trying very, very hard to erase all of the possible sources of power and belief of the ancient gods and goddesses. And it hurts. Whilst the powers of the minders are unharmed by the attacks, the gods and goddesses will be certainly feeling the toll: it's now painfully clear that even the simplest of miracles are now becoming almost impossible to perform.

deities, you had better have gifted your minders with some decent blessings! Because now you're going to rely on them more than ever. Someone is out to get you.

SAD HULK THEME MAKES A COMEBACK

[detriments]

I will not go against your orders, Sulis.

['But I really don't want you let you go without us' is heavily implied.]

SLO MOTION SUNSET WALK

[sprung]

On any other day, if we just stayed here, I could keep you safe and alive. [ She turns to look at him, her expression even. ] For as long as you wanted.

[ More implication: you could die and I wouldn't be able to stop it. ]

[detriments]

[Silence sets in a moment after her warning. Craig doesn't falter once.]

I'm aware.

[sprung]

[ Craig doesn't falter. Sulis, in her weakened state, does. ]

Haven't I given you enough to regret already, Craig?

[detriments]

Have I given you reasons to feel guilt?

[It sounds like a preparation for an apology.]

[sprung]

[ At length: ] No.

[ Again, looking to convince herself, maybe (with weakness comes doubt that would otherwise be nonexistent): ] No.

But I don't belong to war. And my minders shouldn't fall because of it.

[detriments]

You are my responsibility. And Tiffany's.

[They had made a promise to her. After all he's done to convince himself it was worth the sacrifice, breaking it would be unforgivable. He lets silence set before continuing.]

It's up to you.
