    Summary

    When Ajax stops his counter, he has an ominous feeling. By now, his God would have made a noise. A dangle of crystal bracelets or ruffling of white robes.

    Nothing.

    He tentatively looks up. He tries to scan for a signal, but a veil of ice obstructs direct contact. Her head lolled on a pale fist.

    Here it is.

    He accepts his forced retirement in grace. It had happened to Pulcinella and the others. Humans had minuscule lifespans compared to Gods, and their healthiest time was far shorter. There was no reason for him to remain a Harbinger if he could not be the best there could be.
