"I'll do my best," he promised, looking up to the soul guide with a smile of hope curving his lips. It was the promise he had made before, when the blight was still young in his veins, before darkness had stripped his mind from him for the first half of Deepfrost. He would not say he had emerged from it stronger, but emerge from it he had, as he had survived Safrin's tempering. Hopefully his best would be enough this time.
"I will continue serving," he said as he waved to the souls that were gathered around the god. "With song and lantern. Perhaps I'll have more souls to shepherd your way when next we meet. Thank you, for coming. I'll return as swiftly as I can with what you've named." The god was doing him a great favor, he knew, and he would do all within his power to keep the masked one from waiting too long.
