We will nip it in the bud

GIDEON

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

Weeks of planning and secret meeting came to fruition in this one day; Gideon had been waiting for it so long it hardly felt real when he woke up knowing what he would be doing. Finally, he could put action to words, push the Order into doing what he felt it ought to have been doing this whole time; really hurting the Ascended, forcing them back and away. Making clear that their heresy would not be accepted.

The choice of the Torchline shrine had been tactical; the Grounds were crawling with monsters and Ascended and Halo was frozen over. Perhaps there was also a part of Gideon that wanted to strike here after his experience in the bar on the beach, though. To show these easy going idiots just how serious the fight between Old and New was about to get.

Teleporting in as close to the shrine as he was able, he would walk there slowly, savouring the moment, the heavy hammer in his hands dragging a line in the dirt and sand beneath. Once they reached the shrine (oddly quiet, though he wasn't sure what else he had been expecting) he turned to look at his crew; the two Demi Gods and Sera. "Are we ready?"
