[@Zyamasiel] [i]What if God was one of us? The hulking man lay on the right plate of the giant scale, reclining comfortably, propped up on an elbow as he absently watched the far door. The scale remained balanced despite the tremendous weight. The scale was always balanced. It'd taken Gonad nearly three months to track down this structure. A sort of dimensional crossroads with divine inspiration, the Court of the Fair Ones. This sacred structure had been crafted for a singular purpose; a place where higher beings were expected to leave their power at the door, where men could fight gods, and otherwise insignificant creatures could fight men. The lowest form of observable life in the Hall set the baseline, although microscopic organisms were right the fuck out. It was by the being's own volition that they surrendered their power, but to break the law of the Hall and to die in the Hall was astral death, cessation of existence in every meaning of the word. Those who dared to violate the law here were those who grew tired of such paltry pleasures as sentience offered, who could find solace only in absolute oblivion. The threat of such a fate had deterred most for many thousands of years, for what if a man entered and after him closely followed a mere spider, or a beetle? To meet one's end at the mandibles of a bug, deprived of any hope for an afterlife... These things were known to Gonad. Was it his will to end the existence of a god? Nay. Nay, though surely one may try to end him for having the impudence to again open the doors of the dreaded Hall. No, Gonad just wanted to knock a god out. Just in case of accidents though, which do happen, he'd posted a note on the outside of the doors.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/G5b9fQb.png[/img] [i]And so our noble barbarian waited for a mighty foe to step down from the boundless depths of space and time, to trade fists and blood, that a merry battle may be had. He pulled out a bag of assorted veggie chips, prepared for the long haul, hoping that his invitation had been heard.[/i] [color=8dc73f][b]*A flashback...*[/b][/color] [i]-Gonad stood outside the Hall the of Fair Ones, hands cupped around his mouth, bellowing at the moon with all the force his wall-shaking baritone could exert.-[/i] [b] "HRAH!! COME AND FIGHT GONAD SOON!"[/b]
