Was it so wrong of me to hope that for once Cathun wouldn't act like a total jackass? I had hoped that he would at least fake some level of politeness, but his mouth had no filter whatsoever. I spared a glance at the God, who looked utterly unimpressed. "Not all gods are the same, Cathun." I said. "Just because the gods from your home did that to you doesn't mean that Helovia's gods would do the same..." But as I said the words I could see, in my mind, the way my brother had been murdered by Gaucho when he was under the influence of the Moon Goddess. It caused a lump to form in my throat and I couldn't seem to force it away.
I looked away as the Time god began to speak and I watched him and listened as he addressed what Cathun had said about the payment for his help. To me, when it came to saving someone I cared about, no payment was too steep. "The cost doesn't matter." I finally found my voice again and spoke. "Cathun... when you care about someone it doesn't matter..." And I supposed that was why my brother died, because he cared about everyone. His life wasn't too steep of a price to keep everyone else alive. His example was one that everyone in Helovia could benefit from.
"This is a transaction, simple as that. You don't want my services? That's fine with me."
My mouth went dry and I stared, wide-eyed, at the God. It was only the sound of cracking and the sudden burst of flames that had me flinching and looking at Cathun. I stepped forward as he side-stepped away and I had to force myself to stand still. I heard the God's voice, how we would both have to be involved and I frowned. "Stop being so stupid, Cathun!" There was a touch of panic in my voice as I stared at him. "Do you really want to die? Is your ego and your hurt pride really worth more than your life?"
