DELPHIA
Delphia nodded, frowning as her mind considered all the Fallen Star had been through. ”His child died during Fiat Lux, along with all the others Ludo sent around that time.” One of many children she knew, but Ludo had been quick to collect all who perished and ferry them to Mort. ”In a fit of rage he destroyed the main Temple, then Safrin sent him and his husband…somewhere.” she said with a light shrug, as she did not know what Safrin had done with them. ”Ludo had originally suggested that her chosen assist me though, for they were also aware of the missing souls.” she explained. People who knew of the problem. People who were equally vested in the realm of the gods (as far as she knew).
But of course, this got back to her father’s point – she needed companions. People who she could rely on to help her from time to time. Friends.
But she smiled at him affectionately as he laughed and squeezed her had. ”So is it human of you to be greedy, or is it godlike of humans to be so?” she asked curiously. She would have initially said such a trait was very human, but perhaps she was wrong. Would not be the first or last time after all.
Her grin broadened at his comment about her thinking like Rae. ”If only I were so wise.” she said brightly. ”I’ve been acquainted in recent months with their children, Oia’i’o and Kaimana. Perhaps their way of viewing the world has inspired me.” she added with a light shrug. But her father thought it a clever idea nonetheless, and even had thoughts on how she might implement it. ”I should love to hear your thoughts!” she said with excitement, willing to sit and listen to Mort’s wisdom for eons, ever the doting and attentive child.

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