Pov Neji (Hero of Light):
When I woke up in the middle of that ritual circle months ago covered in that viscous liquid I was furious, something was missing, there was an emptiness inside me that I didn't understand and I was in a lot of pain not knowing where all this pain was coming from.
It took me days to regain my emotional control and many spells or potions to be calm enough to try meditating to achieve that control, but even then the anger was still there as well as the pain.
When I calmed down I was told what had happened, it seems that the succession process I started before being sealed away to remain alive was succeeding, but someone interfered putting everything to waste while revealing the secret to the Church of Death that attacked us in then.
