This scar I can't reverse, when the more it heals the worse it hurts
Remi nods, happy to answer what he could. Unfortunately, Darkeye’s first question was not one he knew the answer to. “I do not know what her name was before they started calling her the Voice.” He replies with an apologetic shrug. “The Voice was the one who made the portals, which allowed for movement across all of Caido. That was one of her more obviously good creations. But…she kept trying to improve Rae’s creations. To give them better eyesight, to make them faster. On the surface I suppose these seem like good things, but it wasn’t how Rae had intended their creations to be.” The alchemist explains. “She was a threat because…simply, she made herself too powerful. She killed many early on when she was creating her early ascended. I suppose…think of it like a parent and a child. Rae is the parent, Caido their home. Whatever you think about the Voice and what she was doing, whether you think it right or wrong, ultimately this is Rae’s world. Rae decides what sorts of things are brought into life here, and so it was up to the Old Gods to tell her to stop. Up to them to say what she was doing was unacceptable.” Remi sighs. “This is their world. They get to decide. It was an act of mercy creating the barrier. Better to carve out a bit of the world where the ascended could live, rather than killing them all. But now that she has broken out, she leaves the Old Gods no choice.”
Rubbing his fingers across his eyes, Remi pulls in a breath and slowly lets it out. “I made a deal with Ludo many years ago. If it would save the life of a friend, I would do anything it asked. Now it holds my soul and the life of one of my sons.” In short, he was bound to the herald. “Ironically, that friend Ludo saved is now an ascended.” Remi adds with a hollow laugh.
Frowning, Remi shakes his head. “That is not true. Many have tried to leave the Voice, but they cannot. They will die without her.” Sam had, Remi remembers, and he had started to die almost immediately.
As for whether or not the Voice could be killed? “I think she can be killed. The Old Gods tried to imprison her before and now that that hasn’t worked, this is their only choice.”
