[video] un: a civil serpent. private network.
( Wrath has learned a lot of shit recently after months of trying to understand and exploring many different avenues, the most important being Wen Qing's inspections of Vannozza and his own investigations. He knows he has to inform the rest of the group before he makes his next move. That is the difference between living on this mortal plane instead of within Hell itself where he has far more power. There is a group to take into consideration.
At first, the video opens with nothing but a visual of the locked, hidden room. The video lingers on the altar beds, the potions and goblets of opiates, and then the piles of servant clothing and bird feathers in the corner. )
I'm in a secret, locked room within Bonaccorso's library. The Attaryl have been lengthening the lives of the Doxe for some time. Now they work on transferring a spirit from one body to the next without killing the original body and destroying one spirit in the process, which is the current result of their experimentation.
( He is quiet, serious, jaw locked though the camera is not on him. This is an affront to Death itself - his other name. )
Their efforts have come with a clear cost. ( He keeps the video pointed toward the pile of clothing and bird feathers, and it does not change course for the remainder of the video- let them see the cost. ) Many have died in this room.
I believe they mean to transfer Bonaccorso's spirit into Vannozza's body. Her spirit feels as if it is peeling from her body. The question is what to do with this truth.
( Ultimately, Wrath is ancient and powerful, and he will go with what he feels is best because mortals are fallible, but he wants to know what the group thinks. )

[The other question brings a grimace that of course Wrath will not see.]
Well that's.... complicated. And a very long story. Let's just say that I learned the very hard way that even gods cannot fight fate.
no subject
( Wrath certainly does not. He remembers every detail from when he was first made until this moment, but again, he has never been mortal. )
I have a different view of fate. ( He was able to choose another path when it comes to his own, of course. ) But I understand different worlds work far differently than my own.
no subject
[Mainly, a lot of what happened to him was specifically targeted towards him as a person, and he's not quite sure how far back that goes.]
It seems gods in my world also work differently than in others, so I get that.
no subject
( Wrath is accustomed to that- to someone more powerful attempting to move him in a certain direction. It's the reason he fell. )
They do. The goddesses within my own do not answer prayers in the same way. ( it is more complicated than that. )
no subject
[It's past tense, now, but... well, it took some time for that to happen.]
Yes, and it seems in a lot of other worlds, gods are truly immortals, whereas they can die where I am from.
no subject
( And so it seems near impossible to kill them like it seems nearly impossible to kill him, and he will leave it at that since he certainly does not want to delve in the rare way it takes to kill him. )
Immortality is nearly assured.
no subject
If a god loses his or her believers, they'll end up just fading away and disappearing after all while. And then there are fights with demons, and ghosts, Heavenly tribulations. Things can and do go wrong. Just not on the same scale or the same timeline as for humans.
