No one knew how the news of DeathMark's condition got out, but it did. The arrogance to ask for the Queen Mother to meet him pissed off a lot of powerful members and loyal followers of the pantheon. Though anger was the highest, there were several other emotions that passed through several other members of the pantheon.
The Gods that seek enjoyment and fun found the whole situation to be an enjoyable show. Different eyes were already focused down on DeathMark. He had yet to make his full official debut, yet even then, several powers had crushed down on him, several enemies already having been formed, all just awaiting a chance to strike.
