It was a good point that he made. "Then, you could save any person you wanted!" she exclaimed.
"I could, but I won't."
"Why? Are there repercussions to it?" she asked curiously.
"Of course. If I can't kill a human, I can't save their life from imminent death, either. It is against the law of natural life. I can't hinder the destiny of a human, I can only defer it. But I have the power to do it." His explanation made sense. If some immortal was going around saving every person who was about to die, the world population would explode. Not a good scenario.
"Then how will you save me if I suddenly have a fatal wound or disease?"
"Break the rules," he answered easily.
"But you said there are consequences."
Ladislas was silent for a second. "What is the worse that can happen? I get some punishment in hell for a while. It might be fun."
What a simple way to look at things. Not caring about the consequences. She felt the longing for a life like this.
