Yeah, it was kinda, well... most of what the first couple years with Chacu Challhua involved-- it was sorta part of the deal he had me agree to. That I could get revenge on them in exchange for doing a Dark Signer's duty.

In hindsight though, I realize honestly... a lot of why they ended up running off and leaving me there, was probably just because of his own manipulations. Earthbound Gods seem to have the ability to affect probability, just slightly enough, to cause a death of their host target.

But it's not like they'll realize it. From their perspective, hey invited some nerdy freshman in college to go on an expedition in another country, he jumps at the chance, they freak out and leave him because of some ghosts... and then months later he pops up and sacrifices them to his god that he met on the way back?

Maybe if I'm lucky, they'll count that all up to a crazy hallucination. Or aliens. That seems to be a running theory.
