DELPHIA
Delphia watched with awe as the soul to the form it had had in life, brows furrowing to see it was indeed not what she had thought, but a small child. That a child’s soul had been lost for so long that it had been unrecognizable pained her almost as much as the disappointment she felt in herself. Her eyes were not strong enough yet, her senses still too weak. How could she be of any use to him when she mistook a child for an ascended? She pulled in her lower lip, worrying it with her teeth as the child spoke, though it did warm her heart to see them bloom so under Mort’s loving gaze.
”I’m sorry. I will be more observant next time.” she said at once, eyes falling to the ground, not even daring to look upon him for her shame. She never wished to fail Mort, not even over something as seemingly small as this. But, even if she had been wrong about what sort of soul it was, she had gotten some information that was useful, and she didn’t want to waste his precious time on her mistakes any longer if she could help it. ”They…they told me more though.” she said, glancing up at him sheepishly, hoping to at least add some value to this visit. ”They said that the souls the Voice keeps from you are the Core.” she said softly. She didn’t know what that was really, but it obviously had some connection to the Voice.

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