The Round Hall was reserved solely for the Seven Higher Gods. There were no exceptions. The Ring of Fire surrounding the hall ensured that none but those worthy of entering could cross into its realm.
Yet even that ancient perimeter held no authority over beings who existed beyond the laws of immortals.
Beings who were not called Gods merely because of the dominions they ruled, but because their very existence governed the foundations of reality itself.
Life.
Death.
Fate.
The Three Celestial Ones.
The Fundamental Beings.
The True Gods.
Across countless ages, they had been given many names. Yet no title could truly encompass what they were.
And now, all three stood within the Round Hall.
The moment they appeared, every God rose from their seat.
Not one remained seated including Odin and Ares.
Before them stood three figures whose existence preceded every throne, every divine law, and every god who had ever claimed dominion over creation.
