I got up from the chair as the council adjourned the meeting. Distantly, I could still feel Death's glare on me as he walked out of the room in a hurry. The other gods and goddesses moved to congratulate me and wish me well, even Claudius.
"I hope we learn to get along with our different ideas," he murmured politely. I nodded my head with a smile as we shook hands. Making a silent agreement between the two of us.

Slowly, I returned the hug and felt her body relax. "I'm so proud of you. I'm glad you got everything you wanted,"
