A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"You could resurrect someone from her world who's been dead and they can tell you what their afterlife situation was?"
"All right. One dead sister."
She conjures a finger and a ring of three wishes, and -
This wish actually doesn't seem to do anything.
"Huh. Didn't work."
"If you can make new people from scratch you ought to be able to make people from the moment of death, even if they don't get any afterlife."
"That's true. I think. Okay. One copy of Cecilia's dead sister, a minute before she died."
And here's a sister.
She looks around until she sees Asmodia and Korva.
"...what the fuck."
"Hi! Do you have a sister named - I guess she actually wouldn't be named Cecelia. Uh. Sorry. I'm Elizabeth. We were investigating your world's afterlife system and then realized that we couldn't resurrect you and so we made a copy of you even though this didn't give us a lot of experimental data other than establishing that I could make copies of people. Possibly I should have thought about this for more than five seconds. None of us are going to hurt you."
"Yeah. Hi. Are you Scandinavian. You don't look it but it's hard to tell, these days."
"I am not. I'm Hagan. Do you want someone to take you to your sister?"
- he looks at Korva and Valentine. "- do either of you want to come along with me to take her to her sister?"
"...I'll come, yeah."
And she can take them towards the little house in the rainforest.
"Should we - be explaining anything about - "
"I think so. Uh, your sister was - the emperor kept her for, I think, ten years. Maybe twelve."
