Finite Life

"What?" Skullius reeled. "What do you mean they are finite? I mean, unless their Broader Existence is destroyed, aren't all Divines immortal?"

Skullius didn't see it, but Serenity shook her head before answering his question.

"That was originally the case. The concept of Broader Existences transcends the Primeval Deities and the Existential Parallels. The Broader Existence was supposed to be a reward for bearing through mortality to reach Divinity. No aging and no dying from age," she explained. "But now, all Divines below the level of a Deity are only able to live for 40,000 Consternals, in other words, one Constern."

The unseen cause of what Skullius was beginning to call the Tumbling came right then and Skullius couldn't have cursed any more than he did then. Thankfully, he was starting to get used to it - ever so slightly.

He managed to think while tumbling.
