The Aspiring Archivist any Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Edema Rue said: “Go ahead.” Inwardly, Rue felt a sense of panic, one that, try as she might, she couldn’t shove down. Idiot. This is what comes from caring for others…and being too weak to save them. "Well, back when he had died, his friends made a deal to revive him. Their end of the bargain... was not entirely held up. It wasn't a major infraction, and unlike many gods, Death is rather lenient. He wouldn't normally recollect TAAron on those grounds. However, he now has a new reason to do so." Lerac paused. "TAAron is the sole holder of what remains of the power of two gods. Those gods' souls now inhabit my master's realm. Recently, TAAron performed some magic that called upon those two gods individually, instead of in balance. When one of them, Malum, was called, he caused some havoc in the underworld. In the interest of its security, Death will enforce his deal." Edited November 2, 2023 by The Aspiring Archivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t even know the people you choose to care about…shut up! ”Death really needs a mortal’s soul to enforce his control?” It was a desperate attempt, and Rue knew it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If TAAron is dead, he cannot use his magic, and therefore cannot disrupt the function of the underworld. The only other way would be to destroy the souls of his gods." Quote I think TAAron has been transparent about his magic... He's told her that it comes from his deceased gods, and he at least told her specifically that the red magic was indicative of Bonum's influence. He wasn't really aware that he was leaning towards Malum when causing pain to the Aes Sedai. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how the rod works. I know my songs make your channeling touch it, but beyond that, you’ll have to take lead. So… I’m going to need to sing and attempt to channel. Sing a tune that encapsulates what needs to be accomplished. Change the feel of the tune if needed.
