It is neither surprising nor worrying that she knows your name.<strong>"This is another world, where things are very different. Your island is in the world of living, a world of life, growth, and belief. This is the land of the dead, for those who have crossed over. There is no growth here, but there is no pain. I take the beings of your world here that they may rest in peace."</strong><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=337457.msg16046924#msg16046924">Quote from: c0i9z on 03-12-2021, 02:38:44</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Why am I not happy?" she asked.

The knowledge that when you return to the land of the living, the spirit of the Wise Old Elephant will remain here. But you will keep her memories, and they will give you comfort even when the night is long and cold."</strong><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=337457.msg16047827#msg16047827">Quote from: Envious on 04-12-2021, 00:42:55</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Unsure of what to do, Wish floated away towards the Reaper. <strong>"A walk with Reaper made our Wise Old Elephant happy. Can we walk with you too?"</strong> she finally asks, innocently. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The Reaper regards Wish for a long moment, staring with empty eyes into the hopeful little ones of the air spirit.<strong>"Not as a spirit, Wish."</strong>She says, with a sense of hesitancy.<strong>"I collect and keep the souls of the living and preserve them here. As a spirit, you do not have a soul. You are something different."</strong>The pause hangs in the air, as the Reaper considers what to say.<strong>"There is no land of the dead where you can be taken if you were to cease to be. You would simply cease."</strong><br/><br/><br/>
