Blackeye
Not the strongest win the battle —
" In my world, I was one hundred and fifty-two. I don't know if I got a new body here so I think I'm still that old. You look young I think. I hope I don't offend you. In my world, humans get only sixty or seventy years old. You look like you are in your late thirties. That's why I say young one. I will stop if you wish so or say that I'm wrong." Darkeye looked at Wessex, not sure if his words offended her.
Darkeye grabbed his beard again. "I have many questions. I sure will ask a lot more. If that is okay? But why does the Voice take people from other worlds? We are the intruders from other lands. Sure the people are going to fight you. You take the people's land. This is a good reason for war even without the gods. So it is obvious that the people of this world don't like the Voice. Will you kill all that serve the old gods?" Darkeye knew that this was a tricky question. But he needed to know how far this would go.
Darkeye looked surprised. He smiled. "Gods that fight their own war, interesting. Where did they imprison the new gods? Gods are always afraid that this might happen to them, both being imprisoned and something to change. You follow the Voice I think. Magic is a problem in this world then too. Strong magic comes with a price. In my world, there was once a certain god. He had the aspect of power. But power devours all. So he must be stopped. He changed in a way that was not acceptable. He could not be killed but he was captured and is still being tortured. But this makes him angrier and revengeful. We know him as the rat child and he is neither a god nor a demon. Because he is like a plague that rots even a good person. I hope the Voice is not that kind of god. Yearning for power makes good people into a monster." Darkeye's hand clutched to a fist. So many dead people for a fucking god's ego. He will become what is necessary if this repeats.
