That is all you are concerned about.In your own time you would never be able to get away with this, just brazenly trespassing into the realm of death. Even just for the faith pertaining to your godly family, Usirin would have taken offense and stopped you from traipsing around his domain. Part of why you were able to escape the underworld in the first place though, was his apparent absence. Able to rise from beneath the river, swim to the surface and crawl to shore, for an uncertain amount of time you wandered the underworld yet found none to stop you... so found no reason to stay.
In this regard, you don't suppose there's anything stopping you from collecting all the dead and keeping them to yourself! Of course there's power in such effort, but more to your nature, your love and care for the mortals doesn't stop at death. As much as you cherish them in life, you'd desire the same after and so certainly could see yourself... and get carried away, with providing for the dead. Protecting them. Especially with undead plague loose upon the world, probably still ravaging the old homeland and spreading elsewhere to wherever it can. And the best part of all, it doesn't seem like you'd be stepping on anyone's, any god's toes by doing this!
But, part of love is compromise. Death and the afterlife is a difficult, and confusing experience for even the mightiest mortals. You wouldn't want to force anything upon anyone, so you settle for simply acting as a benevolent guide... for now.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-i">"Come, you can hear me. You are not alone, I am here for you... do not be afraid."</span></span>
Although you could get carried away with the whole... proper afterlife treatment, as per the old faith and your culture. But that's not really your thing, as an adopter of the aspect of Death, and you don't feel that it's what these mortals need. Besides, you probably aren't fit to judge them, when the difference in time and culture puts you at such a difference with them. So instead you simply call out to them. Help to ground them in the bewilderment of death, leave them not to wander or go astray.
