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.
"Where I'm from humans don't know if they get an afterlife." He sits down. "The one time Karen died, she was fetched by a fellow in a cloak with a scythe, who agreed to let her come back to life in exchange for a rare flower she had which he thought was neat."
"Nah, most people stay dead when they die. Though Karen's sister is a ghost and still lives with her children and Karen and Connor."
"People sometimes leave ghosts, but usually if they died in an extremely traumatic fashion or as the result of a grave wrong, and they're not - all there anymore - never heard of one that just stayed home and kept raising their kids. Though I guess no one would call in adventurers over those, if there were some."
"I hadn't heard of Karen's sister's thing ever happening in our world so I think it's pretty unusual there, too."
"I don't know. She adds new ones pretty frequently. She can manipulate fairy debt, for one thing, which was previously thought to be impossible. I think she also goes to the hospital and does miracles pretty regularly."
"'s when you ask your god for things. I'm not clear on who her god is."
"Oh, fairies really aren't religious. I had scouted out some churches I could start attending if I want to run for president someday but at this point I figure I probably won't."
"Every four years the country has a vote on who is in charge and if you win then you're in charge but you have to have the dominant religion or most people won't vote for you."
