Amun paused in his construction. Holding up a piece he was trying to affix to the wall, he activated his upgrade to drill it and nail it in place while he spoke. "And if Kor's will contradicts the will of the gods of this world, how will you reconcile that?" He tilted his head and stared at Darkeye.
"She is supposed to preserve life in all its forms, supposedly. Except for Ascended." Grunting, the potter shook his head. Pressing his lips together, he bent down for another piece of the furnace. "This is not the first war, you know that. The old gods opposed the Voice's Ascension and waged war on her and her followers. But they couldn't kill her, just imprison her. She broke out and, well, here we are again." Sighing, he pinched the bridge of his nose with his free hand.
"And yet, when I lost someone I cared for deeply, a member of my family and the man I loved, to murder no less, you expected me to be totally sane?" He arched an eyebrow at the other man. "What do you mean, assigned to protect him? As for the monster, it was a giant golem made of sentient mud that just...appeared. No idea where it came from. Presumably the earth itself. The mud is supposedly animated by Rae, the god of nature, but we'd only seen it in smaller quantities before then." Shrugging, he made sure his latest addition to the furnace was in place.
