Natural Undead (Part 2)

"It's only when they give up on themselves completely and let the hunger consume them that they turn into Eldritchs. Only then do I turn my back on them forever. My adoptive children like you, instead, had no choice.

"The beast life force is my first and only gift to those like you. I give you all a chance, yet everyone just throws it away." Mogar showed Lith the images of his fight with the Abomination that had taken over the body of the Dryad back at the academy.

"That thing was like me?" Lith asked.

"No, it was nothing like you. He came from another place as well but after destroying his first body, he found himself a more powerful husk. You wielded your powers like a shield rather than a sword and created life instead of taking it."

Mogar showed Lith images of how his household and village had thrived with the passing of the years since his arrival.

"I'm no hero. Everything I did, I did it for myself." Lith said.
