A New and Brighter Birth (OPEN)

Abasi

Grace is just weakness

Phoebe's further, cryptic comment on Loren made Abasi squint and turn his head slightly, trying to work out what she meant. It was impossible to know of course without asking more, and he did not for fear of alienating her; she seemed a useful source of information for the current while. Perhaps later he could ask her if she had experience with the man he had been living with.

Oliver's question would have been dismissed as stupid back home, but here Abasi was glad for the chance to speak about his culture. "They are unimportant in the afterlife and will only weigh the soul down. The only important organ is the heart, which thinks for us." He patted his chest. "We would place all other organs in jars with each of the sons of Osiris depicted on them, or we might place them back in the body once it had been preserved and the soul past judgement."

Talk of memories being changed, removed, added...it unnerved Abasi, so he did not add to the conversation, hoping he would not ever end up in the position to need to know more about it.

Or so I've been told
