Chapter XXIX: Life and Death

[illusivetactics]

Death's door, once more, is not the final passage. The hallways stretch and twist, ever on.

Which does not dampen the visceral experience, unfortunately.

The killer's signature, making gristled parody of the plight myself and my affiliates face...do not confuse this massacre of hearts with our agenda. I will keep off your streets for the time being,

It's good to see you back Zexion.

Why wouldn't you be qualified any do the guide?

[illusivetactics]

It is a relief to find myself alive as well, although...it will take some time for the sensation of displacement to fade.

Well, survival implies surviving, for one.

Things don't stay dead here...but how could you come back looking normal when you weren't before...

[illusivetactics]

Healing is....a fairly significant part of being pulled from death and critical condition. I'm sure the gods can't be bothered to draw someone from the dead over and over for simply bringing them back to the brink.

...Unless they deserve some sort of lesson in the matter, I suppose.

I can tell which parts of my skin have grown in new too fast. It's...something like scarring, on my throat, down my front...It's certainly strange. Had we the equipment, I would investigate the 'hows' of the process closer.

[chisonooggi]

Really? Are you always going to have those scars, then? That's...different. If you use a Cure spell, will it help in making the scarring go away?

[illusivetactics]

I am not so proud nor vain as to remove the reminder that I ought to keep my guard up.
