[ The deity stays perfectly still while Sion speaks - sparing a few blinks in a human manner as to not fall too deeply into the uncanny valley; but as he does not need to breathe, there is not even the slightest of movement coming from him. He sits as still as a statue, timeless and grave.

And after the other has finished speaking, he does not reply immediately - instead, Sion's pain is reflected in his own eyes, followed by a shroud of sadness; for humans are not gods. The distinction exists for a reason, to traverse one to another would only bring disaster. ]

Humanity and deities are fundamentally different things. To have such a transformation forced upon you... it is injustice of a most profound form.

[ Lord Light steeples his fingers, grey eyes phasing into luminous gold. ]

Transcendence is by nature a concept that souls born as humans cannot comprehend. The ability to see the world as it is, without the constraints of your senses nor your flesh - it is not an ability that is naturally compatible with humanity. I would hypothesise that your ascension [ the word is pronounced a little strangely, as if he's foreign with this particular usage ] is endeavouring to transform your perception into a version that is more in line with that of those who begin as gods.

[ He's about to get a bit verbose at this point. ]

There is a concept that we speak of in our world. It is called ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀsᴇ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇᴀsᴛs. Humans share the capability for emotion with all mortal life. However, emotions shackle the soul's perceptions, blinding it to the reality that exists around us. What you are going through is an unmasking, the exorcising of this curse.

[ Does Sion feel fear? Uncertainty? That all will be gone, when the process is complete. ]

I am not familiar with the gods in your world. Is there a way for you to halt the process?
