Sah
Sah could practically hear Seren's concern, and he gave her a gentle squeeze before jumping into it. "She seemed just as genuinely perplexed as I was that her Ascended refused to tell me themselves. And she too, refused to tell me." The Abandoned's brow furrowed. "She told me to look at the present situation, to ignore the ancient past. And that apart from that, I should make my own choice. That she wouldn't tell me because she, and I quote, 'could tell me and convince me of whatever she wanted'"
Sah sighed. "She's clever. Manipulative too. Trying to give me the illusion of power over my own fate. That and deflecting me from the so called ancient past when it's still happening and influencing the present. Claiming to let me make my own decision while also nudging me towards where the evidence points her and the Ascended as victims. Instead of acknowledging all the harm she's done that's led to it."
The Abandoned hummed. "But even so, The Voice wasn't what I expected. She was cool but not cold. And although I was afraid at first, I wasn't when we started speaking. I even found her presence oddly soothing. There is also no doubt that she is a Goddess,. She may not have started out that way, but she is now. And I apparently made quite an impression on her as well. Because she offered to Ascend me, if I ever did choose that path. The Voice then left before I could give any answer."
Sah then pulled back one hand under Seren's chin so that their eyes met. "And Seren? That answer to her offer? It would have been, and still is, no. I will never willingly Ascend."
