Tonight, the gods try to hold back the future. A wolf is growing among them, larger and stronger each day, and the gods know how the story is meant to end. They bring him chains, and call it a game, and he breaks them. Then they bring a ribbon made of impossible things, and a single god is brave enough, or honest enough, to pay the price of the lie. A calm, sad story about fate beginning to set. Let it settle over you slowly.
