Wait... before I died? What the fuck!
David suddenly looked down and saw 'another himself' with eyes closed, falling towards the upper part of the palace. He was caught mid-air by a group of attendant Chromatic Dragons and bound tightly. One of them, without looking back, called out, "You may report to Duke Avernus that we have captured the perpetrator who 'damaged' the Styx River embankment," all the while ignoring the dragon soul flying towards the Dragon God's chambers.
...Fuck! So I'm still caught! Tiamat, you screwed me over! David was momentarily speechless.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but recall a bard's joke popular in Elariya:
Once, a mortal of wavering faith asked a devil disguised as a Priest, "Please tell me, how can I see the deity I believe in the quickest way?"
The devil pulled out a dagger, plunged it into the unfaithful man's chest, and said with a 'merciful' smile, "Of course, it's by dying!"
