For a long moment, that was all he could do. He'd been all set to laugh at Wreath for the initial answer, assume that the man really was just batshit insane, but then Wreath actually went on to explain. Logically. Fact after indisputable fact, all leading to a conclusion that chilled Craven from the inside out. Thermal underwear and all.
It was a while before he'd swallowed enough to be able to speak. "If that's true... if that's what you believe, if that's what you've seen, why have you stopped trying to usher in the Passage? A world where no one dies, Wreath, would solve all of the world's problems. You know that as well as any Necromancer."
No, Craven didn't believe it. He couldn't. But even if it was true, even if... even if Wreath matched his tone and actually was serious, all it meant was that Craven would have to hurry along his own personal plans for finding a capable Death Bringer. The Death Bringer would initiate the Passage, and the world would be saved. In the grand scheme of things, how did the idea that Necromancers didn't actually enter the lifestream change anything? Necromancers already feared death.

His eyes narrowed. "And why are you telling me?"
