Damon didn't just hug Sylvia because he missed her. He wanted to be certain of something.
Holding her in his arms, he realized something.
She felt rigid, as if she could find no comfort in his embrace. His gaze subconsciously moved toward the invisible book floating beside her.
The God of the Abyss had bestowed upon her a vile gift. He had cursed her with knowledge without limits.
As hard as Damon tried, he never really understood the Unknown God. Beyond his desire to end everything, there was just something about him that confused Damon.
Why did he do some of the things he did?
Or was Damon simply a mortal trying to comprehend a god when all he could do was perceive the world through his mortal understanding?
One Unknown was kind. He was gentle, and he answered Lilith's prayer when she asked him to let them meet the Goddess of Doom.
