"And I love you so much, I'm going to let you kill me"

"So what do you want me to do?" I asked
"Watch them, follow them, find out for certain what is going on" he said
I nodded, taking my leave
I was not going to be doing that
I knew they had... something between them.I was not sure of what, but it was not my business
Cari's my sister, and Thanatos is a dear friend, they would both treat each other with mutual respect
I had more interesting things to be doing with the rest of my day.• Macaria •
"All these souls Than, we cannot possibly get to all of them tonight" I said, looking onwards at the onslaught of men before us
Men taken down in war
Destroyed by hate.All of their ghostly forms looking at themselves
Standing around confused as to where they wereI leant down to a man, who sat watching his own body
He was one of the blessed
One of the men here that would move on to a good place
Unlike many others here
Many others who had no qualms killing their enemies.They would be judged by father.
"Castor Galanis" I said, earning his gaze
"You are blessed, you may move on" I said, playing my hand on his shoulder
His brows scrunched together in confusion and he moved away before I could send him."What is this? Are we all... dead?" He asked, looking around
I hesitated, but nodded anyway
"Yes" I said
"This... this is not fair, we were told we would be honoured, that we would defeat them and come home heroes" he said."I know, I am sorry" I said
"Sorry? You are sorry? I have a family at home, my wife, my children, they need me" he said
"I am aware, I know you Castor, that is why I know you are a blessed soul. You will move on to a better place" I said, stepping towards him."No, no I need my family" he said, scrambling away from me
I sighed, looking to Thanatos
"I hate to say this my love, but I think we need to release the furies" he saidI shook my head
"No" I said immediately
"Look around" he said, gesturing to the many souls
"We do not have the manpower to collect them all, the furies will seek out the bad, you can find the blessed amongst them, and I can pick up the last of them" he said.I shrunk into myself
It would be the only way
There were thousands here
Thousands of men... dead."Fine, so be it, release them" I said, looking to Castor
"Release them? What will they do to us?" He asked
"They will do you no harm" I said to him, trying to near him once more.
