Oh wow. This was a desperate move by Vorn and it's great to see the enemy heads up. One can feel that inner voice rooting for the protagonist despite the slim chances of winning. Great first chapter.

Oh my goodness, what an opening chapter!

This truly felt like a climax - I love love love openings that are this exciting!

I know that Vorn is also a scary warrier 'godling' (love that word), but just through his actions, you can see that he is kind and loyal, not wanting to abandon us puny, little humans.

I am already invested!

Thank you so much for reading. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad you got that from Vorn, I tried to make him kind of stoic and serious almost to a fault, but deep down he's just trying to do the right thing.

Reminds me of the Hurrian sky god Teshub, who fought an epic battle of his own…Great stuff!

Oh that's cool. I'd never heard of Teshub before but this story is inspired by those of other mythological storm gods, mostly Marduk and Thor with a smattering of others. I can definitely see the similarities with Teshub though.

I love the pace and the Sky Gods personalities are already evident. I really like the detail to action ratio, if that's even a thing.

I was in the mood to read something like this. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you. It's very action adventure, epic fantasy. I was worried it might even be a little bit too much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
