"And yet many do not find evil in avalanches as the laws of nature culminate in disastrous effects nor the work of other predators as they do what they must to survive. The creature is no different regardless of the lives lost. Sadness is a measure of little." I glance towards him. In all my years I do not think I have ever heard any suggest to heal it. Interesting. "It is beyond healing now I expect. But if healing it was the optimal path for us it would have been done so by now. Perhaps that does entail that it is in your best interest to try."
I say nothing as he remarks of my age. It is in my nature to persist, just as it is likely in his to be amazed by the mundane. Was that a burden of humanity? Or one of its gifts? I can never quite remember.
I consider his words before replying, looking through them to see if his questions run deeper than what it is I have heard. "Census data reveals that my kind still operate in the minority, as has been the aim of the Old Gods since the Beginning." He can likely hear the capital letter in my phrasing. "Typically societies do not bother recording the lives and histories of those they wish to eradicate. For our part though, our lives are stored within Her. There is no need to document when she is all around to record and archive."
