[Well. That's fairly conclusive, isn't it. The soulless girl returns to her place behind Zelda's chair without much in the way of fanfare, though Zelda herself watches her carefully as she does, looking for anything odd or out of place about her. She finds nothing, though, and so her attention turns back to the group.]

It also means that whatever named the soulless that attacked the rescue party in the forest does not necessarily have to be a god themselves.

[A more immediate, tangible concern, perhaps, than asking the existential questions of what they even are, but it's something a little bit easier for her to process.]

... When did they first appear? Does anyone here know? I assume they are as new to the heavens as we are, but I do not know for certain.
