It was strange, your existence and his. Neither gods nor mortals, completely different yet so similar. Left together in a strange liminal space when not interacting with the mortals below. And naturally, the two of you got quite close.

Of course, the two of you had disagreements. After all, you were the embodiment of life, and he was the embodiment of death. But there was also plenty that you two felt the same about. And that was what Zarasil liked the most. That you understood him.

He just couldn't stand that you had to keep going to spend your time with the mortals.
