NOTES: Part of Let No Soul Hunger For Justice.

[ Adelaide’s voice is even, if tired- but what else is new? Still this is a requirement for the next ritual and to that end, she must find some sort of acceptable truth from a variety of opinions. Sequestered in ‘her’ desk in the Library, full pot of coffee warmed to one side, sheaves of blank paper and bottles of fresh ink before her. To her right? Anders with a similar set up, papers, quills, ink- a kitten. To her left, Roul to take just as many notes. Prepared as they are ever going to be- she asks. ]

A few questions for the Inquisition:

What is a soul, truly? What fundamental differences are there between a mortal’s soul and the embodiment of a spirit? Is it the culmination of our thoughts and experiences, our emotions? Is it a combination of our self given purpose and our ambition?

A mortal might change their purpose, might grow and become more due to our experiences- most spirits do not. But what more than that? What sets one soul apart and makes it distinct from another? Can the same be said of similar spirits?

Answers need not be religious or academic- merely true. What do you believe to be the difference, what do you believe to be a soul?

[Little does Kain know that this came about before Anders had even done anything wrong save run away for the sake of freedom seven times.]

I did. Maybe this will mean more options in the future should others wind up in similar situations.

[It really is a difficult situation to be in. Which is why he can’t completely go along with what everyone’s told him. If he did that, it feels like he’s got no hope for his own situation.]

I’d hope so. It can be easier for others to walk a path that someone has already made for them. Perhaps that will be the case here.

It would be nice to find a way that does not doom one or both caught in the situation, yes. Even nicer would be something that can be done quickly. If someone's fallen under the hold of a demon, there are only moments to act. At best.

[dragoon_pride]

That really isn't much time to work with. But if there were some way to stop it as it's happening, or before... not to mention also dealing with those already possessed...
