She hesitated. "Most wouldn't say that so lightly. His role there is simple. He rules the dead, and no one escapes death once they enter his domain."
Asher shrugged. "So all I need to do is figure out who's stealing souls in his area?"
She nodded. "Yes. Under normal circumstances, no one can hide there. He controls the domain itself."
Her expression grew serious. "The problem is, he doesn't tolerate interference. He doesn't even allow the death of his own citizens without cause."
Asher understood immediately. "So if someone is stealing souls and killing inside his territory…"
"He's angry," she said. "Very."
She leaned back slightly. "He gave us some time to find the culprit. If we fail, he'll handle it himself."
Asher raised an eyebrow. "And when he moves…"
"The entire area becomes a land of death," she said quietly. "Everything he walks through dies. No exceptions."
Asher nodded. "So the Association wants this handled before that happens."
