Prompt #23.15, " " forfffc
Word count:
*
According to Howard the Wrens got reincarnated "randomly, into some poor sods' bodies across Paxtown". But was their selection indeed random? mere bad luck? who says there wasn't some sort of logic in the process when the vessels were chosen?
Knowledge of the Wrens' criterion of host selection could help find them--a geographic location, personality traits, genetic markers? who knows??
Raghan himself couldn't tell, not with this world-and-time's vocabulary--the All-seeing is not All-knowing. And there wasn't time anyway.
It's too complex, there is too much data; what's relevant and what's not get all mixed-up. Trying to make it simple would end in a lie--a necessary lie maybe?
Claiming pure randomness allows him not to think too much about what made Rizel out of Charles, Chorum out of a newborn who's not yet its own person.
He's the one who's opened the Door. But then the Kinglets themselves chose their vessels. He did not. Did he? He didn't know them. (Well except for--) He did not choose, out of his own will, to link any of those thirty-one people to one particular demon. (Then how does he know their names? one more mystery...)
