Oh That Kind of Mistake

"We don't normally group up like this." Lorissia was explaining to us while we were inside their base of operations. There were six of them in total, and she was not wrong we hadn't seen a large grouping of good souls since we'd been in the five fires, I hadn't even really noticed it until she brought it up.

"What's changed?" Siara was listening intently, I was studying the architecture because it was amazing, a mix of old and even new stuff. I dunno how it was constructed or from what material, but I have to admit it had its charms and marvels (I tried to submit the design to an architect and after telling me my drawing made no sense he shut his door in my face, I tell you no one respects me!).

"Something is leading the corpses out there, they usually just attack in hordes, a couple larger more angry souls will put up a spirited defense, but mostly they just get mowed down, come back another day do the same thing." Lorissia looked out a boarded up window and then continued, " But recently they've been smarter, catching isolated people out there, and not killing them, no they have been chaining them up and torturing them, they are getting something out of it too, becoming less corpse like and more like us, some of them have even started using weapons."

Siara nodded, "Yes this was the fear when the child was sent here."

"Wait what? You had me thinking it was some poor kid just lost out there and suffering, are you telling me he's an actual problem FOR the five fires?"

"I told you nothing of the sort Trezlan, I just said a young boy was in the wrong place, I never told you he was innocent, you assumed that."

"What kind of young boy could lead an army of corpses?"

"The child of a god."

"Oh." Stupid gods and their stupid kids, I tell you its why I'm never going to have a child, I don't want to end up getting shivved because Trezlan Jr. decided I was better to him dead. Yes I assume a child of mine would end up exactly like me and kill his father, in that case I'd very much haunt his sorry ass until he died. YOU HEAR THAT ACCIDENTAL CHILD OF THE FUTURE YOU KILL ME AND I'LL HAUNT YOU UNTIL YOU KILL YOURSELF!

There ok got that out of the way feeling better.
