They made his work more difficult, but young gods were weaker and less defined. He should have been able to crush them both, allied or not.

Eden will -" bow? They haven't seemed like they would prefer that. "...flourish beneath you," he deftly finishes, eyeing the greenery in the distance by their Temple.
