The Cyclops stared down at him for a long moment, its single eye burning through the dark.
Xenos met that giant eye without flinching, wearing the same expression he always had.
An insanely wide grin.
"What…"
The Cyclops spoke once more, continuing in English.
"...are you?"
Xenos didn't bother answering.
He kept staring, one brow twitching slightly.
The Cyclops leaned closer, its hot breath washing over him.
"You can speak with a God, can't you?"
Xenos gave a simple, small nod, as far from panic as ever.
"Do you not enact a payment?"
The Cyclops sounded confused.
"No."
Its massive eye narrowed.
"Then… how are you not insane?"
That one actually made Xenos pause.
'I… I never really bothered thinking about that.'
He had no clue why he could talk to Eris or how.
She was a God.
Once, She was a Higher God.
By all reason, his mind should've melted the first time She spoke to him.
So truly... how was he able to talk to Her, never mind housing Her within him?
