As Circe began her ascension to godhood, the process for her would have seemed short, her soul was still too weak to process the vast amount of complexities that came with this process, but for Rowan it was anything but, he felt as if a century had gone by before she reconstituted herself inside the Divine Realm of Boreas.
Rowan called it a Divine Realm because this was not a Divine Kingdom, at least not the typical ones he was used to.
