there's light at the edge of the darkness
Noting Oia’i’o’s caveat about her not being a mouthpiece for the gods, Loren nevertheless listened to her explanation about the relationship between the old gods (well, some of them) and the new. ”One of the followers of Ludo was instructed to kill all the Ascended. Wouldn’t that prevent Mort from acquiring their souls?” It occurred to the Launceleyn that it might be worth bargaining for the souls, though he couldn’t imagine what they could possibly give in exchange.

It was at that moment that he remembered he had third birds adoring him, and he dismissed them. ”The barrier has been down for a while now, though. Why didn’t the gods immediately send individuals to collect information on the Hollowed Grounds and The Voice?” The timing seemed odd to the Launceleyn, and if it was a sign of things to come, he wanted to know.
