Gate was never ostensibly meant to open anyway somehow. Forged at dawn of creation it stood as one boundary between living realms and unknowable void beyond mortal comprehension somehow. Eli stepped through and suddenly all Heaven shuddered violently yet eerily nothing would ever be same afterwards forever. Eli returns altered forever having once been revered as a deity wielded as a lethal instrument and loved recklessly as a mortal man. Rewritten by the Third Path — a place where gods become mortal and memory is unbound — he no longer belongs to Heaven, Hell, or the world he once fought to protect. Something eerily archaic has taken heed rather quietly meanwhile. Amon a fierce warrior vowed never to lose him and will traverse mystifying realms that ostensibly defy existence bringing him back slowly. He will confront beings older than sin and truths more perilous than prophecy alongside erstwhile foes and turncoat confederates with a love so unyielding it might shatter reality. Gate recalls people who traverse it often under cover of darkness and occasionally with reckless abandon. Defying it costs something other than death apparently. Transformation happens quietly within. Eli must choose who he will become before last ember of his soul is snuffed out forever in a war where gods bleed profusely.
