I had done it, god's knew how many years had passed but I had finally managed to become the god they wanted me to be. I hated it of course, all that power should not go to one person but existing outside time and space was an interesting sensation.
Though I know knew what they had meant when they had said I would die by drowning.
Becoming this, thing, this god, it was horrible and worst of all it meant that I could not exist in the human world. When I at last tried to reach Praxis the sensation I had was that of drowning and all to soon I found myself in the relm of the dead.
It happened every time I tried. I could not even send him a message or bring him here. So I simply had to watch him wait, watch him as he longed for the one person he could never have.
One day he will give up on me, and as much as I want him to be happy I hope he never does.
Another god, Erstril, offered to be my lover when she learnt of my love for him. I turned her down of course, she simply laughed at me and said that I would learn. "A man like that," She said. "He will wait forever. You will probably die before he stops waiting. And of course should you die he will as well."
And so I wait for the one who will kill me, and I watch my love's disappointed face every day that I do not appear.
