Next was the God of Fire.
Naia came with her.
Not because she had to.
But because it was personal.
"This one burned my village," she said.
"This one laughed when my mother screamed."
Liss said nothing.
But when the Fire God appeared—
flames ten universes high, breath like plasma—
Liss let Naia go first.
And Naia burned through him like a falling star.
Liss didn't have to erase him.
She just closed his book.
