*Sound seemed to distort outside of Mortar's house a moment. The door was open, but there was nothing there. Nothing, that is, until a spark ignited in the center of the room, and a vertical oval slowly following. Inside the oval was a hazy forest, trees rotting and some ruins somewhat farther back. This was a portal. Mortar stepped through it with ease, then pointed a metal rod at the portal. The portal was getting absorbed by the rod. After that, Mortar sits down, seemingly working on something in a journal while a winged cat weaved between his legs*
Alright, let's see here... day... what day is it? It's June, I know that.
[b]It's June 20th.[/b]
*The cat just talked, and Mortar seemed to treat it like a normal thing*
Thanks Mion.
[b]No problem.[/b]
June 20th: I have been working on a new way to bring people back...
[b]You have? You've brought them back to the dead before, and now it's easy because everyone that prevented you is gone.[/b]
Let me finish. I have been working on a new way to bring people back from the dead with as little side effects as possible. I was successful with bringing back one person, but he died an hour later. Wait, I have a few test subjects!
*Mortar grins at Mion*
[b]Wait, Me? No, no, no. I'm a damn animal of prey, I am a fascination to biologists![/b]
Who told you that?
[b]The owner of the Smithsonian.[/b]
Fine, I'll give you that.
But I'm not gonna use you. I have a few enemies in that place I went to, so I'm gonna use them.

"Why?"
-
Because my gods are weird
-
"I'm sure they are."
-
Yeah. Long story short, he can come back via an external source.
-
"Which doesn't have to be you?'
-
I guess, but the only other way is that other gods will bring each other back, but my Mom wasn't a god, otherwise I wouldn't miss her so much.
-
"Ah. But the point being you don't have to bring him back."
-
I do... he was torturing me to insanity
-
"No there are others."
-
That's the thing. The gods are dead
-
"All of them?"
-
Yes, unfortunately. There was an evil far beyond the strength of the gods, and made them perish. I am all that's left
-
"Of your gods you mean?"
-
*Mortar nods*
-
"But there are many other gods that could be tortured. Same as you"
-
Yeah. Which confuses me. He has been torturing me nonstop. Why me?
-
"Maybe some connection?"
-
I don't know... *Mortar lets out a long sigh* Well... back to work I guess.
-
"No. You won't let him come back."
-
I know... I'm so confused. *Mortar appears broken. A smashed China doll in the form of a demonic human.*
-
"Why?"
-
It's just... hard to think. *Mortar walks over and sits on his bed*
-
"Take a nap."
-
Well... I guess that'll help. Thanks for this Kross
-
"Anytime."
