Preparing

"I've just been so inconsiderate." Eldrian paused. "Waiting until we reach Tier 6 to go help your dad will take too long." Not adding that having waited so long might mean it was already too late. He was praying that it wasn't. That, if they couldn't save Old Sword, at least they could let him pass to the realm of souls. 

Eldrian didn't understand what the afterlife was like, he wasn't religious himself, and while the concept wasn't foreign, he found it strange knowing that it existed in ANW. There was no question; he had been there himself. He had seen it.

Of course, it made him curious if there might be some truth to the religions on Earth. But without proof, it would be hard to know if there was, especially hard to know which religion was right. Perhaps they all had some truth to them?
