Do you have even the slightest idea how traumatic death is to the soul?
[ His voice is flat as he looks her way, expression devoid of humour. ]
I have been poisoned, strangled, decapitated, put to the torch, drowned, been crushed, been torn apart, had numerous weapons tear through my body in various places - and that is with the knowledge I would outlive my temporary vessel of flesh. Mortals fear death far, far more than one of my nature does.
When Xande was resurrected, it did not surprise me at all to see him turn to nihilism. Rare is the man who glimpses the shore on the other side and returns entirely sane. And so I would not be surprised to hear that the wizard is keeping his king together behind the curtains.
