Who am I you ask? Well I am this skinny bean's angel. Not like a guardian angel though, no, we can't even do anything, just watch and report. The scrawny fella who just fell to his death and revived is called Sarys, and my name is Lucy, short for Lucifer. Despite the name I am not the ruler of hell.
So, why did Sarys' body mend itself back together? Well that's simple. When he said his final wish, he had misspoken. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal except the fact that some gods like to trick and cheat those of faith by taking stuff like that literally. It's terribly unfair.
You see, what Sarys said implied that there would be multiple deaths, which could have had two literal meanings. Each time he was reborn, his death would be quick and painless. Or, in his currently life he would die indefinitely and every time would be quick and painless, resulting in very speedy rejuvenation the body.
It would have been much easier to grant his wish with the first meaning, but the gods like to be mischievous and it causes us angels to have a larger workload, which is exactly what they want. They don't really like us all that much, nor do they like the humans. With that in mind, they could have totally just ignored his wish! But noOOoo, "We should give Lucy more woOOoORk," Thanks, now I'll be doing an eternity of it while watching this moron.
Back to Sarys.
He had just fallen onto the stakes and is now standing beside them perfectly fine. Well, if you take away the trauma he now has. It may have been painless like he wished, but that doesn't mean he couldn't see it. He's probably super confused because he knows that's not what death looks like. He has seen death on many roads, and each one had the body laying on the ground, not moving, and smelly. Well I guess one of the conditions are met, It's really smelly. Who knows, he could be thinking that he's a ghost now.
...?
I seemed to have just noticed something odd about his appearance.. He looks.. healthy? Not only that but he isn't as terribly skinny anymore. It looks like the gods not only cursed the boy with immortality, but also blessed him with a more formidable body. At least that's one positive outcome to this.
