Touche, Iomedae. Touche.

"Depends how fast Lucy ascends, really."

"Still. As the sole former Good god* who spent that period dead, under mind control, and therefore actually incapable of doing Her job instead of failing at it - yet is now not dead - Iomedae, let me ask you again: Why, right now, is Aroden dead?"

(*: This term is the maximally-inclusive of 'god', referring to anyone who can make clerics, even that mummy who worships himself over in the Mwangi Expanse.)

" - you know what? I haven't told anyone this, because someone'll kill Her for it and I don't think Aroden would actually want that. But you have the right, if that's what you want to do, though I hope you don't because it won't actually help. Aroden is dead because Milani betrayed Him because She saw it'd end prophecy and thought that'd be - better, on the whole, for Aroden's priorities, and mine, and hers, and those of the Arazni I once knew. It's certainly the only reason Achaekek didn't eat Lucy yet."

Why the - 

- Why did Iomedae TELL her that - 

- Why did Milani - 

- Does Iomedae know that Arazni is the resurrected corpse of a stitched-together abomination who is relying on mind blank seriously mind blank for avoiding mind reading and is frankly unqualified to be a god in the slightest and best modeled as a mere ninth circle wizard with a few ridiculously implausible tricks and a couple artifacts -

- "I'll take that subsidized truth-detection with Abadar now, if you don't mind."

"Paid for. You can go straight to Aktun from here, if you'd like -" Usually you can't, but this is Iomedae's realm and it works how She thinks it should, for the most part - "Or He can send a representative." But probably Arazni won't trust that in Iomedae's realm She couldn't manipulate them (and She probably could, though it'd be starting a war with Abadar and She wouldn't win that.)

"I appreciate it," she says drily. "I won't take up more of your time; you can go back to fighting Hell."

And she'll turn to go, but as a Keleshite shot - "You know we're all saved by an arbitrary and implausible coincidence and without that we would have lost everything, right?"

She has a plan, to get Cheliax out from under Asmodeus. She had a plan for the Worldwound. 

She didn’t in fact have a plan to ever get Arazni back.

 

She nods.

And Arazni will return to Axis, and go get confirmation, and see about... sorting out her head, some more, probably.

At least she's not still dead.
