[God Quest] see what's inside

The Voice nods, her eyes flashing with understanding as Isla speaks her mind. "Not capable of doing?" The goddess tilts her head ever so slightly to the side. "Or something that you don't want to do?" The clarification is offered gently, without judgement. "There are many things in war we think are not capable of doing. This is not your first war, so you already know what some of those things are. But, we learn that when the lives of many are at risk, we find ourselves able to do things we thought we couldn't." Smiling, the Voice folds her hands in her lap where static sparks begin to grow between her fingers. "That is very true. We are not soulless nor machines, and I would never have you take any decision of this magnitude lightly. But tell me Isla, if the math were simple, if Remi's life could be guaranteed to pay for the lives of every ascended, would you be capable of taking it then?" Hundreds of lives, spared. No man, no love, counted for that much.
