At Arthur's question, Barda scoffed and then said, "Arthur, you should know more than anyone else exactly what it is you're trying to do to get yourself killed."
"You're gonna have to be a lot more specific than that, Barda. My mere existence is the reason people try to kill me."
"Specific?" Barda asked with a raised eyebrow. "Alright, let's get into specifics then. The Dark Multiverse," he began. "Alkosh, Zeus, Jupiter, Lugh, Odin."
The man paused, an expression of mock surprise appearing on his face as he said, "Oh my, am I speaking too far into the future? Then let's come back to the present for a bit.
How about, Athena, Persephone, Zeus, the Underworld… ring any familiar bells?"
Arthur's expression changed, his eyes widening slightly at the names Barda listed. It wasn't just the names, but the exact order he used that made Arthur react with surprise.
A moment later, realisation dawned.
