Astaroth
// a beast in the business of selling forgiveness //
It’s a similar feeling from Astaroth’s point of view – having been asleep for centuries, since before the cataclysm happened, he doesn’t know of what occurred with the Voice or the wars that spurred it on, or whatever else the trio of gods decided would solve a problem they couldn’t entirely get rid of. At least Dygra had come back, able to help those left adrift from their choices, even if Astaroth didn’t understand entirely the context.
He was a survivor, and he could relate and appreciate others doing the very same.
Intrigue flares again when Deimos mentions that he’s an Outlander, and the cannibal butcher stands a little straighter as he regards the Sword with a fresh new perspective. To answer the following questions before he gets ahead of himself, Asta clears his throat. “No apology needed. This has been quite enlightening.” And it really had been, given that he’d only gotten bits and pieces from the Atheneum so far. (Granted, he hasn’t looked that much). “Torchline were not the islands you see now. It was called something different back then, but was more of a peninsula with more than one volcano.” But, with the continent splitting apart further and further, it’s no surprise that it would have changed and become its own inhabitable thing.
“So… you mentioned Outlanders..? You are not from here originally?” It’s the first he’s heard of the term, and color him both impressed and curious beyond other regards.
