May we all strive to be greeted with the Mask of Grace when our time comes.

"... A smile, that was a mask, of it's own." Is a pretty damn raw line. That was nice. I liked that.

@jgkitarel 8 ай бұрын

The mask Death wears is one that reflects the soul of one who will pass. An interesting take on things, isn't it? Death is neither cruel, not is it benevolent. It simply is. It carries out a grim duty and does so as quickly, cleanly, and with as little fuss as can be managed. And in Kerin's case, his smile is a mask as well. For he has carried out this grim, and at times heartbreaking, duty many a time. Though there are some times when he can find himself.... satisfied at the result, especially when he can choose.

Sure but why did he directly intervene like that. A collector of the dead who takes time to create a few more dead seems to have a conflict of interests. Like an ambulance driver while rushing back to save a gravely injured man runs a few more over so he can save A few more while on the way.

@@Snipergoat1 "he got to choose" think about what the implication is with events occuring in the story. For a refresher and a hint the biological son had pulled a dagger on Nok and was in close quarters combat when Koren made his choice.

@@Snipergoat1 One could say that Korin did his job as an Advocate one who speaks for others or in this case for the dead or soon to die. In this case, he advocated for the soul of a good man about to be killed and was granted the choice to take the soul of the evil man who was meant to kill him that night instead. the raven on his shoulder is the one who is the actual collector of souls all Korin did was change whose soul was collected that night.

Where did the idea that death is grim come from?

@merlinathrawes746 8 ай бұрын

@@Snipergoat1 One was going to die regardless, Nok or Artek. Koren in this instance was simply allowed to choose which it would be. Not to create a death since a death was already mandated, but to choose which of the two would die. Not exactly the same as creating extra business for himself.

It is said in the old tales that only human advocates are given a choice. It is more that only humans defy the fates such that it is easier to let us intervene at times than for even a god to maintain control.

Nice story but I can't understand why he would care much about the soul turned evil, or why he would involve himself with saving Nok. Psychopomps (Beings who take the newly dead from the land of living to the places of the dead. The Grim Reaper and Valkyries are particularly well known examples) are notoriously aloof as to the specific nature on any given death (out side of their duties of course.) I suppose that they see so many it is routine for them. So why the intervention?

@Terran.Marine.2 8 ай бұрын

@zuzax1656 8 ай бұрын

Why the intervention? Because it was Arket's time, not Nok's. Death came to the village for two souls, Arket's and Elly's. You seem to be under the impression that Death is simply a gatherer of the souls of the recently departed. If such were the case, it would be known as the Gatherer, or the Guide, or something. But it is not, it is Death, the snuffer of the spark of life. Death is the cause, not a bystander. Only then can Death take the soul to the next realm.

@lrmackmcbride7498 8 ай бұрын

There was a choice to be had. A flip of the coin and the advocate chose perhaps just as an agent of not death but karma.

@TheMariusDarkwolf 8 ай бұрын

Also as he basically states, he's human, a person that was so in love with his partner, that he basically made a deal with Death herself, to become one of her 'helpers' to stay with his partner. So this isn't just an incarnation of death, or a psychopomp, but a person doing a job basically. And a person doing a job can make a choice. Two people had to die in that town. The 'split' as they called it, meant that depending on a number of factors, either Nok or Arket could have died in that scuffle that Arket was planning. Koren decided that it was going to be Arket, and ensured THAT was the outcome, and that random chance didn't get a look in. Ellie was a different story
