Seraphyne, feeling a shiver run down her spine, looked at the old, tattered clothes with uneasiness. "This village... it might be a place between worlds. The people who helped us, they could be spirits, lingering here for some purpose."
"Mommy, is it possible for good spirits to stay?"
"We can never decide if a spirit is good or bad just because it saved us. We also won't know if they stayed for a purpose or were trapped. But in most cases, the soul of the dead can go to different portals after death based on the judgment of their sins."
"Are there so many places to go after humans die, Mommy?"
"Hmm. A pure soul can go and serve in heaven. An evil soul will burn in hell. A soul, given another chance, can reincarnate and finish business. Most souls are recycled and birthed in another place. While some are exterminated because of unforgivable sins."
