He breathed in deep, closing his eyes for a second. When he opened them, he gazed at me with some new determination.
[ESKART] "Muna, I do not want to see any more gods die to these monsters plaguing our world. While we are Immortal, those that take our place will be different. There is no telling how our reincarnations will be compared to how we are now. No telling how long it will take before such things happen..."
'What are you getting at, Eskart?'
[ESKART] "If it should ever be one of us the next time we are fighting as one, will you permit me to prevent that from happening?"
'...'
[ESKART] "It is something I do not want to allow, ever again."
I knew exactly what he meant. Should it ever be me, or Wolfboy, or Shennu, Jenk, Morwenna or Ludwyhn or any of the others we have met and befriended that are on the verge of dying... being murdered by something horrible as the Dark One or the Alien, he wants to take our place instead. He would rather sacrifice himself. By seeing the future for what little he can, he could see such things coming, to preserve the present. That's what he's asking. That's how he feels. The death of Surasira has truly affected him.
So he wants to know if its alright to feel this way.
>"Eskart, I... .... Yes, I permit it, if it is what you truly want."
>"No, I... I can't abide such a thing. We can get through this together, always."
