"My soul..." he said, pausing to think about how best to approach the topic. "The Gods of my world saw to it that my soul and I had not been together for some time. They trapped it within a crystal and set out a path for me. When I was brought here, my soul was taken in by the Heart. No God would be able to manipulate it and my, let's say condition, would not change. While my soul is not part of me, I do not experience pain. Nor can I die" he added. "And so you can see why I grew concerned about the Hearts current corruption, especially when I found myself feeling quite unwell. It is a sensation I have not felt in a great many years. It is troubling..." he paused once more.
"This is where things get more complicated. The Gods saw it fit that I carry the starscourge. I was once a healer of the people and took the starscourge from them, taking it into myself. It is a form of corruption from my world. I can tell you now that it does not touch my soul and thus has and no influence over the Heart. However, I do believe that should the corruption linger in the Heart much longer it may find a means to join with the starscourge within me and I do not need to tell you just how devastating that would be for everyone here" he added, sipping his tea.
