DELPHIA
To be comforted by Mort was the greatest gift of all, and she soaked it in as though she were parched and he water. It was a blessing, she knew, that she could call to him always, and when he did deign answer, he would never be cross, no matter how large or small her request might be. ”Thank you, father.” she said softly, finally feeling her breath begin to even out the longer she stood in his presence.
But something in his response, his incredulous look, gave her pause. Was…was she wrong? With a slight frown she reached out, gently pulling the soul she had just sent from his realm. Usually she could not do so with such ease, but it was Mort’s will at the moment. In her hands floated the little orb of light, held out for him to see. ”I called for answers about the whereabouts of the Ascended souls, and this one answered. I…I’ve never seen one so distraught.” she said, holding what was left of this person with tenderness and care, heart swelling with as much love for them as when she had first encountered them.
But to be fair, she had not seen their form, nor had she ever encountered an ascended soul before to have a basis of feel.

Here in the forest dark and deep
I offer you
Eternal Sleep
