Chapter 2
Tom was desperate to at least reach a compromise. “What if you and I take half each? That’s fair.”
James remained calm – staring at the horizon in front of him – and shook his head. “Then it’s two ways it can go wrong, instead of one.”
“No. You would hold me accountable, and I would hold you accountable, and we would both let go at the same time. It’s the best option there is.”
“Tom, no. I have decided already.”
“We need to both agree on the decision, not just you, you know. I’m taking half the power. There. I decided also.”
“No,” still keeping his cool.
“Well no to you too! I’m not going to let you take everything and possibly turn on me! You can get us both killed you know! Why would just you get to feel how-…” James realized he had said too much and quickly stopped talking, but only for a swift moment. “You don’t know if the feeling of power will overwhelm you.” Tom tried to save himself.
“Is that what it is you want? You want to know how it feels? This is bigger than you, Tom. It’s not about feeling how it is being a god.” James lost his cool and his temper took over. “It’s about helping the least fucked up deity fuck the rest of them up, okay? Unless you want some dude in full plaid playing with all life on this planet like it’s a fucking bagpipe. Is that what you want?”

Long ago delightful prompts that would inspire people to travel to new lands on other worlds and within themselves was written on an enchanted scroll. Too bad the kids that found it thought it was a takeout menu. This will end well!
Well, who knows? It might already be true! ;P
A takeout menu... Hmmm. Was there anything with either chocolate or icecream on there? I'd kill for either of those two right now.
Thaaaaank you very much @brisby <3 You're my favorite squirrel! :*
