"My name is Grand. I am a god and completely at fault for the destruction of your land," the god replied.
"Did I hear you right when you promised to help with the rebuilding of Serif?" the queen asked him, "You know that many wish you were dead. To give their loved ones a chance to move on. Look around you…"
The god looked around to see the ghostly apparitions that floated about the courtyard. Ghosts of the people he'd killed roamed the place with no way to move on, "I am immortal and therefore cannot die. The king knew that and faced me. I don't know how he saw through the darkness that had consumed me. I bore no desire to destroy Serif," the god replied.
"You said that earlier. What did you mean? We watched you murder all those people and you liked it," she replied.
