Chapter 66: Fool’s tomb (5)
"You did what?" Cassian asked.
"Rebeled against the Sun God." He shrugged. "As you can see from my current state it didn’t go very well."
"But how? Why?"
"Well I can’t tell you that - the curse forbids."
"I thought curses can only affect living people? You shouldn’t be affected after death, especially since you’re technically a separate existence." Elira pointed out.
"It’s a bit more complicated." Sylara sighed. "Sun God’s curse affects everyone who knows certain things about them. Since a memic is essentially a collection of memories, the curse works on it as well."
"Which leads me to my next question - how come he can remember his own death? Shouldn’t he be aware only of things that happened before he was created?"
Antonio’s eyes sparkles.
"Ah, you see it’s an ingenious invention of mine - I called it ’post-mortem mind extraction’ - it’s a sigil carved directly into one’s skin, which allows for the memories to separate from the soul at the moment of death, and be transferred somewhere else."
Maya raised an eyebrow.
"Does that mean your soul is left without memories?"
He chuckled.
