Wait... before I was alive?
Holy shit!
David suddenly looked down and saw "another himself" had already closed his eyes and was falling toward the palace above, only to be caught mid-air and roughly bound by a group of Chromatic Dragons. One of them said without looking back, "You may report to Duke Avernus that we've captured the culprit who 'damaged' the Styx River dam." But they ignored the dragon soul flying towards the Dragon God's resting place.
"...Shit! I'm still caught in the net! Tiamat set me up!" David was momentarily speechless.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but recall a bard's joke from Elariya:
There was once a mortal whose faith wasn't strong enough who asked a Devil disguised as a Priest, "How can I meet the god I believe in the quickest way possible?"
The Devil pulled out a dagger, stabbed it into the chest of the unfaithful one, and said with a 'merciful' smile, "Of course, you have to die first!"
"Ah, I'm dead!" David mumbled ruefully to himself.
