I have never feared the storm
Seren's idea made sense and Sah found himself nodding. "That makes sense. Too much sense." A cynical grin appeared. "A new humanoid body that is not only weaker, but also now lacks the blood of my Goddess. That would certainly explain the sharp decrease in my power." The Abandoned knew the implications that might mean for Mune, but he had already assumed that she was gone. How could a deity exist after all if they're domain was gone? His world's moon was destroyed with the rest of the world.
Grabbing some black fabric, Sah began to work on his own Ludo doll. "The wars? Ah.. they were more complicated then that. At least one of them was." He took a breath before diving into some of the darker parts of his home's history. "The first war I participated in was originally started by a human. One that had lost part of his soul when his companion died. In my world, companions like Lilly and Umbra were tied to your very soul, so if they died, that piece was gone. The result was....agony. Such agony that any who felt it went mad. Generally people were 'put down' as soon as someone realized what had happened. A mercy kill for the victim before they lost themselves." A dark but necessary solution.
Sah took a sip of his drink before continuing. "But this human somehow avoided that. So he fled, and the pain and madness festered. He began to seek out anything to fill the hole in his soul. Using any means, no matter how immoral, no matter how many lives it cost. No matter how much destruction it caused. He scoured the world for something to dull his pain, destroying everything in his path. And growing steadily more powerful through the horrific experiments and attempts he made. Some say he'd attempt to fuse with any form of magic, to fill the whole left by his companion. None of them worked but he'd come out with stronger magic and even worse desperation. He even used his power to create armies to help his search." It was like a snowball effect of insanity and loss.
The Abandoned paused before continuing. "It got to the point that his man was so powerful, so broken, that even the kingdoms of humanoids couldn't stop him. They called out to the gods for help. And so Mune and others answered the call. That was how my kind ended up involved. We fought beside our Goddess, the people, and other Gods, to destroy the man's army and put him out of his misery." Sah shook his head, pity in his eyes. "It was a horrible war."
