"How could telling me something 'destroy the world'?" I asked. It just didn't make since. Maybe that was the adrenaline speaking, though. She had learned a lot in the past 30 minutes.

"Then explain to me, Ms. Know-it-all, how was the first man created? All things have a beginning," he said. And when I drew a blank face, my sign of defeat, he smiled, proud of his victory, "So, as I was saying, this god, Horsfay, was created by the stars--"
"So explain to me, Sir Smart allelic, how were the stars created?"

Anyway! As I was saying, again, Horsfay was created by the stars. He had already been developed in his full, godly form because he, too, fed off the power of time.--"
Lukas was again interrupted by the sound of glass shattering and an angry, booming god standing before us.
