Quoted By:
Of said women in battle regalia strange to you, astride equally divine horses, helping the soul of that particular mortal... one of the northmen? To join her on the horse for departure. A pair of these women riders, for one to see to the mortal... and the other to pick up her spear and stand guard over the situation, eyes and spear bitterly leveled at you even though you hide among cover.
So then, it seems you're not the only one out here, picking your way through the realm of death for new mortal residents. Although you'd like to know more of these counterparts, you think it best to keep to your lane so to speak, considering that you are a trespasser here in the first place. Best to just stick to the mortals unaccounted for, at least for now. The question that persists though, is what you want to do about those few unaccounted for.
Those mortal souls who wander, both locals and northmen alike, who are neither collected nor are you able to guide them to any afterlife that will accept them. In fact, some of them are not even from the battle it seems, from times past even. There are very few of these lost souls as far as you've come across, relative to the total number of dead, but there are a few. Whether they lacked any faith at all, were simply not considered worthy, or something else... part of you wants to leave them lost, for whatever reason that they were abandoned in the first place. On the other hand your heart bleeds for them, but you're not even sure what you would or could do for them anyway. After all, your deathly nature is only something you took on, rather than any real acceptance or understanding of it. You don't even have an afterlife realm of your own that you could lead them to.
All that said however, you yourself in a way, are as lost in the world as they are. So you can't help feeling some kinship, human that you are in spite of being a goddess.
>Guide those remaining who can be, but leave it at that. You've done more than could be expected of you.
>After your run-in with those warrior women, you'd prefer not to tempt death... appropriately enough. Return to the living world.
>Collect the abandoned souls, but what you intend to do with them is another matter entirely... {Specify.}
