章 156: I Am a God

DESI

My intent was to travel to the desert. That was my singular goal - to find Michael and fulfill my promise to never, ever leave him again. But what should have been a momentary flash, the time between one thought and the next, was interrupted as Heimdall stepped in front of me, the rainbow Bridge spread out behind him, an eternal path going wherever he commanded.

“There’s no time to waste,” I said, moving to angle past him, wishing I didn’t still need his permission to Travel between worlds. “Why did you stop me? Did I do something wrong?” Maybe everything had been a dream. Maybe I’d only been deluding myself into thinking I could have this power, the gifts of a god.

He faced me and put his hand on my shoulder, its staggering weight making me check my balance. I searched his fierce face, but he was always so stern I found I couldn’t read it, couldn’t guess his intentions.
