[ After being given a quest, Ereshkigal had decided to go ahead and do it on her own. It was very clear the quest was designed to be dangerous and she'd wanted to ensure none would get caught in her own personal feud with Morganna... Which had been a fatal mistake. ]

Greetings. I am in dire need of assistance and would be very grateful should any of you still listen to me.

[ It is a blessing nobody can hear her whine through text. ]

I am in the Forest of the Felled and I am lost. I came here after Morganna gave me a quest, but I believe my words angered her and she led me into a trap. It appears she placed upon me a curse that makes it impossible for me to find my way. I have been here for over twenty-four now and my strengths are waning as a result of dehydration and hunger.

Should you be afraid of facing Morganna's wrath for assisting me, I understand. I shall face my own death with dignity if so. I only ask someone come after the kettle in my possession to finish this quest and establish a land of the dead after I am gone. I will endeavor to write instructions on how to manage such a place with what time I have left.

[ Not overly dramatic at all, nope. ]

Thank you. It is highly likely the success of the quest is something Morganna accounted for. [She was a smart goddess, no way she hadn't anticipated Ereshkigal may survive and go through with it.] If so, I expect something terrible may happen upon completion.

[ Why go through with it if the odds the quest will result in nothing are overwhelming? Well, that 0.1% chance she will actually get a land of the dead are worth it in her eyes. ]

If you come with me, I ask you do not stay for the result. I refuse to risk anyone's life because of my own mistake.

[ She wouldn't forgive herself. Especially since he was one of the few people to have shown her kindness. ]

[This is tough for him... he's a Shounen JUMP hero, Ereshkigal!! Seeing shit through until the end together is what keeps him and his peers alive and allows them to become the best versions of themselves! But he decides to accept her decision, at least for now. Goddesses have their pride, and her sense of responsibility is strong enough that they could end up arguing for hours otherwise, and he'd prefer her to save what's left of her phone battery, just in case she needs it again later.]

Alright. But even in the worst case, I'll find you afterwards.

[That's the beauty of a death mage alliance: it lasts beyond death.]

[queenofkur]

Thanks for your understanding.

[ She is very thankful he doesn't try to argue because she hates arguing.

And besides his hunch is right, her battery just dipped to red. Goodness, it was fortunate she had recharged her phone before this whole ordeal or she'd have really been completely out of luck. ]

[He doesn't respond back, but he'll be checking AOL for updates from her (and if aren't any within 12 hours he'll ask Shoto, and if Shoto ends up beaten to the rescue he'll hassle the other volunteers!). He may come across as aloof (well, depending on whom you ask...), but he'll find it hard to concentrate on his usual activities as long as he doesn't get news of her being out of the Forest of the Felled at least.]
