[say]"Oh, she chose to go behind it. Or rather... she was told."[/say] Ronin chews at his lower lip, wondering how best to explain it. [say]"During the first war, they decided that the best way to control the Voice was to trap her behind a barrier in the Hollowed Grounds. But obviously there were a lot of people in the Grounds, so all of the heralds were put behind the barrier as well, to keep an eye on things. And on the Voice. So she was behind there from the beginning."[/say]

Brightening a touch to remember his time as a star, it's a somewhat bittersweet feeling, and he nods to Sah. [say]"I was, yes. I remember it was like being on this beautiful celestial shoreline. And from the edge of the pier, I could look over the edge and watch everything. I couldn't do anything about it, though, which was difficult."[/say]

A demigod is born of a god, like Seren... or they're elevated up. For me, I think because my original body was..."[/say] Ronin makes a gesture that looks a bit like something exploding, [say]"I had to come back with a new one. And having been a star, it was complicated. But... yeah. I think that's how it works."[/say]
