'Sometimes we are fickle and cruel." Safrin acknowledges with a shrug. "But such things are not for Sam to decide. Not for the Voice to decide. This is Caido's world, and Vi's, and Rae's and Mort's. If Caido decides the sky shall be yellow, then so be it. It isn't for the likes of mortals such as Sam to question that choice. To that end, the gods have made their judgements about the Voice and her actions, her creations."

They've have made irrevocable choices, and therein is the Voice's real power. She is all that they have." It is for this reason among others, that she won't speak to Sam.
"You would have me speak to him, to shine a light in the maze he wanders only to reveal that it has no escape? That he is doomed to run into dead ends again and again?" It seemed a cruel thing indeed to ask.
