Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

-- Do you have toilets with kitchens in your churches?! You are truly strange.

- Well, I don't know. I haven't been there yet. But you know, even priests and preachers need to eat and relieve themselves somewhere. We are not abominations, unlike the bald one... So I hope.
- But if not... Then I don't even know where to "put" you... Any suggestions?

-- Very, -- the witch answers seriously. -- Now all the slums respect you, even after the first skirmish. Listen, I'll be honest with you, let's have you answer me honestly to one question: we believe that your fire doesn't send you to the Void, but makes your soul burn somewhere underground until the end of the world. Is that so?
From what Voldemar could hear and read, the church fathers did not come to a definitive answer to this question, but almost all agree that the souls of the unrighteous are indeed absorbed by the earth -- because due to the absence of Fire, they cannot ascend.

"Well, well. You have some specific criteria for "respect" among you, you scum," Voldemar thought, but said nothing aloud.

- You mean the "incinerated"? Well... I heard that the "unbelievers" who didn't accept the Fire are indeed supposedly absorbed by the earth. But I haven't had the opportunity to verify this. I could ask your friends with axes how they are "doing" there, if I could... - another smirk from Voldemar.

-- It's not supposed to be, but your guys have gained some respect among us, the ordinary ones, after that night... Let me give you my personal flask, and you give me a silver coin for a new one?

- You heard? It's not allowed. So you'll have to put up with it. If I decide that you are still useful to me, - you will get water, and maybe even some beer. So it is in your best interest to tell the story as quickly as possible...
