((No worries Diablos.  Congrats on your approval Rhedyn!   :D ))<br/><br/>The Beast's fierce demand made Diran's blood run cold, and suddenly he was very afraid of this skull-faced monster.  Would he have to forfeit his own flesh for his God to live again? Would he have to die?  That thought stung him.  After all the things he had given up and devoted to this creature, he might end up dying at his hands?  Anger and pain welled up inside him, but then Diran remembered he had been willing to let Linai be sacrificed only minutes before.  Was he such a coward that he could not stand up to the same fate, only send others to it?<br/><br/>Diran steeled his nerves and quieted the fears swirling in him.  Hearing Linai pledge herself helped cement his determination, and he let a little grin creep back to his lips.  Whatever he must give up, it had to be done.  The new world priests were making stupid lazy sheep out of humanity and chaos needed to exist again to give them purpose.  For his years of neglect his forsaken God has the most right to cause such chaos, and if anyone was going to benefit from the God's power and riches, he wanted it to be Linai.  There would be no greater opportunity than this.<br/><br/>"Whatever you wish of me. We are for you," Diran said with a small bow, crossing an arm over his chest with his hand on his heart.  When he straightened again, all traces of fear were gone from his face, even as the God's hands glowed an ominous red.
