Every living being has a soul.
A few weeks ago, this was still a contested issue, with many believing it to be a fact, while others were waiting for an irrefutable truth on what made life so special.
Yet now that the world was in turmoil, with people dying left and right from all manner of horrific creatures, such an issue seemed ridiculous to debate.
Not just because, now, being alive was nothing special and instead you were just food for something else. With humanity no longer at the top of the food chain, the time for relaxed debates over philosophy or fashion hadn't yet arrived until it could secure its place once more. It was also because this thing which had been impossible to prove, was now as clear as day.
Spiritual beings formed purely of soul energy, ethereal strings that could control objects. These were the new normal, and with this normality came an uncomfortable truth: souls could be wielded, consumed, burned… and destroyed.
