Now I Feel I Shouldn't Have Asked

Tolviar's ship looked incredibly average. The kind of personal traveling ship a lot of salesman made their way around in. Just enough for a on person to sleep, eat, and relax in, but not much else. Of course appearances can be decieving and the ship was no different. There were all kinds of hold out weaponry and magical runes written inside so as to keep her quarry at bay. So far the weapons and runes had been more of a precaution than a necessity, but Tolviar got the feeling it was only a matter of time before her home away from home became a battlefield like everything else.

"So what are these things anyway?" Tolviar was in the pilot seat despite the ship being on auto, she always liked the feeling of control over trusting the machine, she suspected this was a part of Trezlan in her.

"You never wanted to know before." Hanlon was intrigued at this new wrinkle, Tolviar had accepted the exterminations without ever questioning before, now she wanted to know, it was a definite change.

"I do now, especially if this one is a dangerous as you say, what are they, why do you care they are killed?"

"Pieces of death, fragments really."

"Of you?" Hanlon smirked.

"No, not of me, or at least not of me as I am."

"Cryptic."

"I wasn't always the god you see before you, in the dark past I was one aspect of death, but not the only one, the other aspect was a creature not unlike the darkness you now hunt, a foul being conjured by the nightmares of people who feared death and did not except my more inevitable nature in their lives."

"So what changed that you became death itself instead of just an aspect."

"The other decided my orderly pacified way of simply ending creatures suffering and not causing it was worth being wiped out, it made a calculation that I was not as powerful as it was and it was wrong, unfortunately its essence lingers in this world. I've had Trezlan deal with some parts of it before and its come after him for it, but you're much more efficient than he was."

"Some effiency better than none?" Tolviar smiled, she had no animosity towards Trezlan despite his involvement in her imprisonment, but his methods and style lacked both things repeatedly and Tolviar was surprised Hanlon kept him around, especially with his post Red War shenanigans.

"Do not underestimate him, he's hardly even human anymore."

"Nor am I." Hanlon smiled, the thought of Tolviar and Trezlan going at it was not something he wanted, but he wouldn't be willing to put money on the outcome either direction.

"Coming up on destination, I'll drop you a line when I'm finished."

"As if you need to do that." The communication winked out, and Hanlon found himself wishing he had the Fire God's foresight, if only because the only time he knew the future was when something had already gone horribly wrong.
