There were many terms used to describe gods, and the ones most often neglected was "old". Especially for the gods of Trion. These ancient monsters had existed from an incredibly distant time, and even though they were currently worshiped as gods. There was a time when they were nothing but monsters.
There was something incredibly different about Boreas and any other godlike beings he had met, and Rowan had a suspicion that the other gods of Trion shared this trait. There was something… extra in their make-up, a monstrous quality that Rowan could recognize, because it was similar to his serpents.
The word Rowan was looking for was Primal.
Boreas's eyes turned to the struggling Rowan and inside them, he could see both curiosity, rage, amusement, and many host of emotions that would be impossible to describe, it was as if the god felt many emotions simultaneously.
