Rowan might not have fully realized his potential when he had seen Death for the first time. He suspected that Death must have seen a hint of it, but it could not be sure, and like Rowan was testing Death to build up a profile in his mind, Death was also doing the same to him.
Rowan possessed the dual traits of a healer and a killer; he could destroy as well as create. And this was a trait that was incredibly rare in the higher-dimensional levels.
Any random god could create or destroy, but comparing what they could do and what Rowan could accomplish was like comparing a firefly to the moon.
A Reality represented the limits of Creation, while the Primordials represented the limits of Destruction. For two of these supreme limits to not only combine but were also enhanced in a single form was impossible… yet Rowan was showing promise for such a thing, and so Death… tested him.
This was how the game began, between Rowan and Death.
