You'll always be my favorite ghost

GIDEON

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true

Praise from Ludo immediately drew a genuine smile from Gideon, his heart warming at approval from a God he had prayed to and served for so long; was this how the Demi-Gods felt, when their heralds looked down upon them? He noticed the puzzle disappearing, Ludo not stopping to play with the object, and hoped that was a good sign.

Watching patiently, fascinated, as Ludo lifted up the vial of cursed 'blood', he revelled in the sight of it pouring down over the compass. If he had any say in it, it would not be the last Ascended fluid spilled for their mission. Gideon lifted his hands as the compass glittered and the needle spun, at first cradling his palms up towards it as if too in awe to touch it.

Finally he did take it though, tilting it both ways to see the needle move. "This is wonderful. Thank you. I will do good work with this, I promise." He said, bowing his head.

That's why I hold with all I have
That's why I hold
