“And if I had performed on Bionus?” She couldn’t stop herself from asking.
Ganesha shrugged his shoulders. “Then the outcome would have perhaps been different.”
Taly wasn’t sure how to respond to that. On the one hand, she trusted Ganesha. After all, he was now a rebel, too. On the other, he’d just admitted to being one of Shui’s assassins. Could you ever completely trust someone like that? She stepped out of Ranvir’s arms.
“Are you planning on murdering me now?” He had said to ask specific questions. That he’d answer honestly. She wasn’t sure she’d like what he’d say.
Ganesha was across the room before anyone could react. Shocking everyone when he dropped to his knees before her. “I, Thanos Ganesha, pledge my life and loyalty to you, Talyani Zulfiqar. There is no command you give that I will refuse until the day I meet the Gods. And if they refuse me because of what I’ve done, I will be yours for all eternity.”
Taly’s shocked gaze went from Ganesha at her feet to Ranvir, who had moved to her side. She knew those words. It was a pledge from a select segment of the population on Kirs. They followed a specific belief system that supported the idea that ancient warriors had made vows to the Gods when they fought together against the great evil that tried to take over the universe.
Saying such words for them was never taken lightly because the cost to one’s eternal soul was too great. For Ganesha to say such a thing to her…
No one on the bridge could doubt his sincerity.
