   he can f e e l it. feel the exact moment the god finally    deems him worthy of his time. how long has it been    since he had last seen him? how long has it been     since emily had been raised to the seat of power?    how long has it been since his o b s e s s i o n drove    him to build a shrine of his own, the runes, stained    just as his hands were, adorning the masterpiece.         eyes stay focused on the floor, hands curling         into fists. ( and oh, did the mark sing to him,         b u r n just as it had during their first meeting. )         and he waits. he only ever waits.
