Meanwhile, my time to think was running out.
"We can't argue here forever! What if somebody notices our presence? We are already lucky that nobody fell on top of our heads yet, crying 'Cheaters, cheaters'!" the Goddess of Bees exclaimed, returning my attention to the conversation between the gods. "The way this goes, it will be much simpler, faster and more effective to clean our tracks by killing everybody who has this knowledge. We might even scour their minds for it while nobody sees…"
"We might as well let Nectus decide, since all the suggested ideas require his consent," Dalmanrach interjected in a calm voice. He hid his hands in the sleeves of his cloak and turned to look at me with his round, bird eyes. "Nectus, what would you prefer to do with the secret you discovered?"
At this, even the Goddess of Bees shut up. All the gods stared at me with way too much intensity. Only the Goddess of Bees was really hostile, but it wasn't helping a lot.
