*Kero shrugs*
I don't much understand it either, Pasa...but yes, that is what most kitsune are like...

Passura shakes his head. "It looks uncomfortable... but the old one says he's alright... for now... that it is more important to work on the inside and let the outside take care of itself." He looks up with a tiny grin. "How do kitdune become what they are, mes'sirrah... do you know? According to the Singer they are not like you and me."

Pasa, you have to remember, I don't know much about kitsune...most of them are my enemies...and would rather grill me over a slow fire than talk to me...many believe me to be evil, because of the deadly magic I can wield...and I brought some of it on myself when I was younger...I tried to invade their home...Don't look at me like that, I wasn't even a million years old then...I was maybe 300,000...

"You have lived many many years then... " says the boy with a sigh. "How can you stand it... outliving all your friends.... "

*Kero sighs*
I don't have many friends, Pasa...and those I do are mostly immortals...my wife is immortal as well...I can't usually afford relationships with mortals...as I'll turn around, and when I look again, they're dust in the ground.
*Reaches out and hugs the boy*
But don't worry...that's when I'm in the Void...as long as I stay here, time will slow down for me...and I can be your father.

"Are the kitsune immortal? And the winged ones?" he asks quietly. "I know the white scaled one isn't.. he said as much to Amestru, but he's been around for a long long time, too... hasn't he?"

Emnast and I are not true immortals, Pasa...I can still die, as can he...or rather, we can be killed, or we can simply lose interest and fade out. Either way, it is death to us...however, with Ari here, Emnast will stay for a long time yet, I bet. And yes, barring deliberate slaying, theft of their balls, and disbelief, Kitsune are immortal. I have heard no stories of Angels being slain, and only one of an Angel dying, and it was long before even my time...even my master's time, actually...

"Angels... so that is what the winged ones are called. I... I was wondering... But only one of them wears his wings and then only when he needs togo somewhere fast..." he falls silent and leans against Kerobian. The two of them sit there watching Keveka's unconscious face for a few minutes. Suddenly Passura speaks. "Why would he fade if no one believes in him?"

"Kami are god-spirits..." comes a gruff voice from the doorway." brought into existence by the dreams and hopes of generations of individuals seeking answers to their problems."
Amestru walks in to stand across the bed from them. And rarely... very very rarely, some come into being in response to the heart's desire of kami who already exist." He looks up at Kerobian and smiles. "The belief of the masses has a powerful influence on the spirit world... would ye not agree?"

You are talking to a Soul-Warden...of course I know that.

Amestru smiles at him then looks to Passura. "Souls of the dead are funny creatures... when one dies one comes before him to be judged and purified. All the good is wiped clean of evil tendencies... all the bad is wiped clean of the good. Thus, as a soul comes before it's chosen destiny, countless small bits are left behind. It is from these tiny bits of existence Kami and demons are born."

Partially, yes...Demons spring from the evil like seeds....shadows wrapping around them to form the demon...this is why they're scared of me...I can see the seed...and eradicate it...And what, Amestru-who-tells-others-how-I-do-my-job, is the afterlife to which I send the souls of those in balance, neither light nor dark.

"Ah... now that is an interesting twist on things isn't it? For few truly live their lives in balanced harmony. But among those who do there is one thing in common... rarely do they have any form of passion... they do not love... nor do they hate... most fade... a few though have chosen that path purposefully and honestly believe a balance must be maintained... and they are sent onto their chosen deities... knowing nothing... feeling nothing... I'd rather just fade myself than face that existence."
Amestru sighs and shakes his head. "I never said I know yer job in detail, Kerobian. He wanted to know where we were from and I told him. For the most part, Pasa... we are benevolent demi-gods. Individuals who are dedicated to looking out for the ones who have brought us to life. Does that answer your question? And as such... we are not truly immortal, as we have a limited lifespan... once that belief fades, so do we... I... I myself am facing that passage... but my mate has found a way to extend my life by imbuing me with the love and belief she has for me. Thus... in a way, once she dies... I will disappear as well."

Except they both have the belief of two creatures who are nigh on truly immortal to bolster their existence, Pasa...I can only be killed in one way, and my brother Hopian, your uncle, must die at the exact same time I do...the methods by which we can be killed are a secret...but it is exceedingly difficult to slay one of us, let alone both, at the exact same time...
