"Fire under the water? That'll end poorly." Only after did he realize how that sounded. "I think that sounded wrong." Sighing he used his free hand to rub at his face. This was why he was better suited to the dead.
He smiled then and took her hand with both of his. "The place has a power of it's own and I am it's Lord but not it's commander. I cannot will it to be any way different then it is. I would try not to let it change you but how soon until I am changed to it's needs? How soon until you are?" He sighed, "the burden I carry is a great one and while I do not think you unsuited to it you should feel it and see it for yourself. Before you make any decision, come Below. You'll have my leave to go and come as you like." He paused, "but eat nothing of my lands. It will tie you to Below."
He released her hands to dig into his pouch again and took out two coins. "If you decide to come give these to the boatman. His name is Charon and he'll know to take you to me if you give him these."
