The higher we climbed up these steps, the more the fog dispersed. The more the sky brightened with paranormal tinges. When we reached the top, we saw a great rainbow gate, and a knightly figure in exquisite plates awaiting us. A man who was taller than any I'd ever seen, even Eskart and Jenk.
[???] "Hold your ground there, ye wayward celestials."
We all stopped at the figure who raised his hand. I saw his helmet was protruding with two tall horns. And these horns were not part of the helmet. The armor was trimmed in bronze and brass, coppery finish...
[ESKART] "Didn't expect he'd be here already to greet us..."
And what the Magic God said only confirmed me in my guess.
We were face to face with the Wargod himself.
[WOLDOR] "HAH HAH HAH HAH! CELESTIALS BELOW! I WELCOME YOU TO THE MOUNTAINS OF YORE! TIS A WONDROUS OCCASSION! MY BREAST THROBS WITH EXCITEMENT! HAHAHA! YOU ARE EXPECTED!"
Us? He knew we were coming?!
Woldor threw his hand back, motioning our attention to the rainbow gate ahead.
[WOLDOR] "Hahahahaha! Ye stand atop the peak of the first mountain. Tealgard! Ahead, ye shalt pass the first of many gates, and there begins the trek! I have labored well to provide only the most fitting and excruciating trial for the gods below! Hahaha! The tenets of the challenge I offer to you are simple. You may ascend the mountains making up my abode one by one, and take it at thy own pace. But be ye warned, the moment ye shall pass this rainbow gate, there is no turning back! Ye must finish my challenge."
'Why challenge us in the first place? Must we truly go out of our way to face your Pantheon just to earn the right to speak with you? And barter?"
[WOLDOR] "Of course!" Sang the proudest man, raising his finger; "This challenge I give you, is a special privilege! A contest of rights!"
Woldor raised both hands high.
[WOLDOR] "Goddesses Muna, Shennu. God Eskart. Demigods Jenk and Wolfboy. There is no greater reward within. By overcoming everything my world can place in your paths, ye shall be given place in my pantheon! Ye shall be one with Siegesia at last! TRULY! HAH HAH HAH!"
