Balance suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He could feel the imbalance approaching. Girnham was heading this way.

The god smirked. This imbalance might be simpler to correct than he thought. Destroying Girnham would only end the round before Balance could correct any remaining problems, but humiliating him in front of his followers was another matter. He could simply tell them that they had incurred the wrath of the gods by renouncing the old ways, and they would return to their old lives.

But before that, he would need to prepare. He had his limitations, after all. He needed to maintain the balance; his earlier carelessness had taught him that it was even more critical to watch his actions in the Eternity Plateau.

And so he thought.

From here, with some concentration, he could identify the precise size of Girnham's forces.

If there were an army equal in strength opposed to them, that would bring the system closer to equilibrium.

Balance turned to the south and walked towards a village in the distance. He had work to do before Girnham arrived.

A few minutes after he left, a small lizard meowed.
