”Everything alive has a soul, the Voice included.” Delphia said softly, nodding a little. ”And it is not so simple as you say. Mort did not simply allow her to live. By the time the gods realized the trouble she was causing, it took all their combined strength to merely seal her away. And besides…if she is using the souls of others to extend her own life…then her life is not yet intended to end. More does not take what is not ready to come to him. It is a loophole…one I don’t think any would have thought someone would take advantage of.” she said, brows furrowing.
She shook her head at his next set of questions. She would not lie to him about how early in her thought process she was. ”I have not asked her, but I am not keen to either. Why would she be truthful to the child of her enemy?” she asked, shrugging a bit. ”You and I do not deem the keeping of dead souls bad, Mort does. And we follow our divine parent’s wishes, do we not?” she asked, smiling at him. Did he not travel around, observing things, because Rae wished that of him and Oia? ”But…if you had ever seen how a soul can suffer when trapped or lost in this world…you would likely not be so quick to assume it is not bad.” she said, looking troubled as she gazed up at the Spire.
