"You are an Ironhart?"
I nodded.
"Yes."
For several moments Gerald simply stared at me before suddenly leaning back and laughing into the clouds.
"You really are full of surprises, boy."
The old man shook his head while taking another drink.
"First you arrive here as a living human. Then I discover you've somehow crossed half the Prime Territory while making enemies of the Eternals. Then I learn you've already fought Verilux and survived. Then it turns out you know about my little soul-splitting experiment."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"And now you're telling me you're an Ironhart."
The amusement on his face slowly transformed into something more thoughtful.
"I have to admit, life keeps finding ways to entertain me."
I smiled.
"Aren't I awesome?"
"You are."
Gerald swirled the remaining alcohol inside his glass.
