yet my blood renders me a King
Sah chuckled, a cynical grin on his face. "I wish. But with there being multiple Demi-gods on both sides who have no choice in the matter? It's not going to happen. Especially not with all of the other conflicts and skirmishes that have happened." It truly was an idiotic war. The Outlander sighed, "But even if there weren't, a war between Gods will occur, with or without mortals involved." He spoke from experience. Gods had started wars in his home world before. Even ones who had no followers to fight for them. They'd still do it, if it pleased them.
Tal's question is a valid one, and Sah nodded firmly. "The Old. I chose the Old before Morgan even retook her spot as Warden. And I made it clear when she asked me to join her Council of that very fact. She wanted me there regardless since I'm not an extremist. And when Halo voted to become neutral, I made my own plan."
The Abandoned shrugged, "I was planning to help establish Halo as neutral, just as the people wanted. I also was working to bolster the defenses and war preparations in case things went south. I was planning however, that once the fighting started, to leave. I'd go help Deimos, Noah, and the others." They may have been determined to retake Halo for the Old, but Sah was more focused on just keeping Halo safe. He'd made his case for the Old to the people of Halo and at the time they'd chosen to stay neutral. He'd been fully planning to respect that.
"But now that Halo's neutrality is void, I don't have to leave. Everyone who I'd been planning to go help protect is right here." That was why he'd chosen the Old after all. It wasn't out of devotion for the Gods themselves. It was out of devotion to the people he loved. They just happened to be for the Old, so here he was.
"It's kind of backwards, but I'm not sworn to any of Caido's Gods. I'm fighting to keep my people safe." It really was backwards. But he'd sworn his life and soul to a Goddess of his own world years ago. Even after two years in Caido, he wasn't ready to break that oath. Not yet at least.
