"The soul of Adeodatus is cut into five parts," the demon said, "and not God nor all His Angels can retrieve it, for it is kept in the realm that is apart from Him and cast upon the waters of the ocean of Apeiron where He may not go. There can be no proper transmigration, not even into the body of the least animal. The dirt cannot be put aside, for the soul is sundered and incomplete. Each piece must float upon the ocean and find what sanctuary it may in whatever nook of matter until it is regained and made one."
