   Summary

   You glanced at Bro still chatting outside the window and a quote from a game you watched him play flitted through your head. What was it?
   Pick a God and pray?
   Well, you didn't really believe in Gods but maybe it couldn't hurt.

   Your name is Dirk Strider, and you are nine years old when you first pray to a God you don’t know for help. Because it’s Dave, he’s really too young to die. You’re surprised when your prayer is answered by a blustering Child God in blue.
   It never happens again.
   Until it does. Again. And again.
