"What happens to those whose fates he consumes?" Amun's expression darkened at the question.
"They die, Billion, but death is not an adequate description of what happens to them. When Theras consumes a being's fate, he does not merely end their life or destroy their soul. He severs the very thread that allows their existence to continue along its destined course, consuming it completely.
Their bodies and souls cease to exist, leaving nothing behind that could be restored through ordinary means. There is no soul left to enter another realm, no body left to recover, and no continuation of their existence beyond that moment. They simply cease to be."
The explanation sent an uncomfortable chill through me, not because I had never witnessed death on such a scale, but because this was something fundamentally different.
