Oi, you idiot! You weren't supposed to die yet, according to The Book. Tsk, now what I'm supposed to do with you? I mean, you did die saving someone, so I can't just throw in you Limbo. Ah, I've got it! I can just throw you into another world. Do well enough and, when you come back, I'll open these here pearly gates for ya. You can't go in as a human, though, or other regular race. No no, those are full up. Ah, I've got it! You can be a talking sword. No? Well, you don't have much say in the matter, unless you're saying you'd rather go to Limbo? An eternity dealing with passive creeps who can't even take a stance? That's what I thought.
Hold on please, transferring you now. Yes, yes, we have amazing technology here. You'll have some choices to make before the transfer is complete.
