LU 40 - Tori 5

"I Couldn't even save my family's first lives." 
Tori pays a visit the the grave of an undead acquaintance, claiming he needs help from the skelling. 
"Hello again, undead one" 
The bird invites Xever to his cave, saying he wishes to repay the Skelling for his hospitality when they first met. The two make their way back to Tori's cave, making small talk as they walk. 
"I admit, as glad as I am to have left my home realm, I've had a hard time adjusting to this world." Tori leads Xever into his basement, graciously stepping aside to let his acquaintance step into the cell guest room first, the iron door closing behind them. 
"You see, my friend, I have recently come to realize how unfair his world is." Tori begins explaining his predicament to his friend, eventually stepping out of the guest room to speak to Xever through iron bars. 
"How may I help, friend?" 
Tori explains to his friend how unfair the world is, and how he suspects this is intentional. The bird then goes on to explain he recently discovered another factor of unfairness in this world: multiple lives granted to some, but not all. 
"Why must some try to desperately to stay alive while others have lives to just throw away?" 
Xever agrees that this is unfair, saying everyone deserves a second chance and proclaims every being should be granted respawn. 
"You understand what I am talking about. I knew you would, friend." Tori smiles upon realizing his friend agrees with him, telling Xever about how he couldn't save his family. "I am no god, but I am particularly good at one thing. Do you know what that is, friend?" Tori steps into his friends cell, frowning as he faces Xever. "I am good at taking. At feeding"
The bird draws his sword, forged from a strong metal from the realm he fled so long ago, blood still decorated the blade. "So please, do not take this personally." Tori slashes through his friends wiring violently. "It is only what I must do to survive."
