Wouldn't you like to use more than words?

The last thing you recall is likely your own death. Whether it was fast or slow, it's over now. And you're... where are you?

One moment, you were among the living. The next - you may be one of the unfortunate ones who actually died. In which case, you've found yourself flowing in the lazy rivers of the river Styx, unfathomably deep underground. Just for a moment, mind you. It's not long before your consciousness is yanked from the waters by some scary monsters, shoved into a healed body, and pushed through a portal.

Or, maybe you were caught red-handed and sentenced to your doom. But, instead of a proper death, you were whisked down into the Veins of Tartarus. And there's really only one place that could lead to... Or is it?


You've been tossed down here by the will of the Titan, but what you find is A helping hand swooping you up - possibly literally, and potentially out of the grasp of the Titan himself.

Not a moment after, you're whisked through another rift, this one a shimmering gold. Into a realm of slightly more stable platforms and a lot more shit to look through. The area is practically littered with the ill-gotten goods of a thieving God (who is happy to note via pop-up illusion that you are touching his stuff). Here, however, you are safe; assured that Typhon cannot find or hurt you here.

For the moment, you can breathe before the next part comes.

[It's easy enough for Aglaea to keep her attention on him as well as the cauldron. She'll make sure Alex sees if anything important happens.]

He could have given you a bare minimum, like those who offer up so little to temples and altars and only do so for the act of it. So that they can feel good, and be seen doing good. But no... he gave you something that he thought would help benefit your next life.

[She... was glad, that the younger ones in their group had him for another few weeks after she died, at least.]

He was... a lot softer than I think even he knew.

[ Yeah, it's good Aglaea is doing that, because Alex just. Turns away and kind of covers his eyes, because he is crying. ]

The jackass tryin' to tell us he didn't care...

[ But, of course he does. If he didn't, he wouldn't have offered his home.

It makes him both angrier at Seymour and himself. He wishes he told him, while alive, just how much everything meant to him. Not hold it back, behind awkward shame. ]

It's always the ones who act like they don't care that care the most.

[... She still thinks to all those centuries ago. For all the moments she and Hysilens bickered, for as much as Hysilens seemed to only focus on her role as Cerydra's sword... she'd been the first. The only person who came to Aglaea to check on Aglaea when the first Flame-Chase Journey began to wear on her. Everyone else asked for the Goldweaver, but Hysilens...]

... And those are some of the ones we must treasure the most.

[ A loud, messy sniffle as he nods. He can't seem to force any other words out, at the moment. ]
