Mark didn't say anything. He knew there was only one reason his idiot friend hadn't told them any of this: he was probably trying to protect them from the truth about who they were up against and to give them as much time as possible to enjoy their normal lives.
Mark sighed. He looked at Kate and already saw dread and panic in her eyes. You couldn't throw the word "God" around without consequences.
What was a God? A being that could crush them like ants if it pleased. A being that only had to snap its fingers to wipe out entire worlds. How could anyone fight an enemy like that? How could they possibly stand against something so far beyond them?
Submission seemed like the only option. But what would their lives be like if they bowed to a being they couldn't understand? Wouldn't their future depend entirely on that so-called God's whims? Could such a life ever be peaceful? What if that same God chose to enslave them?
