Kieran spent some time in utter disbelief.
As he said moments before, the entire situation was poetic.
This Trial was the Testament of Dying Blood, meaning it revolved around the Flame's dying wish, which Kieran believed to be the death of all the Gods. But that assumption seemed overly ambitious to Kieran, which led him to believe there was some oversight weaved into his burgeoning understanding.
There were gaps in the cohesion of this Trial's meaning, which became more apparent the stronger Kieran became.
Why would a Trial linked to an Advancing be centered around aspirations to kill the Gods — who, by the way, Kieran had zero knowledge of? An Adept had no business warring with Gods. Kieran couldn't begin to fathom their Domain or what Boundary they existed in.
