"You're here quite quickly," the Artifact God said. "I thought you would take a while."
"There wasn't much left to do," Alex said. "You must've been called there to talk about the Movement God too, then."

"The Sky God saw it fit that I should know, you know, given I'm technically a Half God," Alex said.
"That does sound fair," the Artifact God said. "A horrible thing, that. We're supposed to go for a peace meeting soon, and we lose one of us to a bunch of bandits."
"Bandits?" Alex asked.
