Hi! I've been a massive fan of the locks since I was a kid on deviantart – seeing Jeih and Ary again felt like seeing an old classmate.
Lore question – can indomitable wills like Ary bring back people from the dead? I understand he has an almost deity-like attitude to humans, viewing us as curious things who live for barely a second to him. I also understand that Jeih wanting Aryion's attention by any means possible is maybe getting in the way, annoying him into a reaction.
Has Jeih ever gone that far to kill a human to get Ary's attention? Or does he understand that might put him in the doghouse or have such dire consequences there'd be no going back?
Ahh that’s fun! I’m glad they brought you some joy.
The greater wills can’t resurrect anyone. Any Lock can stave off death for another creature if they’re on the brink but it’s not without consequences, and it’s not something they typically do. Anything looped into will can be perpetuated until it’s eventually consumed. One could linger for a thousand years in that state, being slowly devoured. Or they could forget you’re there on a random rotation and blitz you. Or they get bored of maintaining you. It’s not a particularly desirable existence, even for exploratory people like Beru, who I’ve never talked about here.
Jeih’s killed lots of people in his wanderings, some in the hopes of getting a reaction or any kind of attention out of Aryion, and primarily during the time where he is slowly deteriorating. It doesn’t garner the reaction he expects, because he doesn’t know what Aryion is doing and he doesn’t know the greater will as an individual, truly. He knows better then to mess with key components, although he’s happy to threaten.
